Huawei to launch an 8K TV with 5G support, report says

Do you need a 5G TV? Probably not (at least for a while), but that, reportedly, won't stop China's Huawei from launching an 8K TV with a built-in 5G chip. 

This is according to Nikkei Asian Review, which cites sources familiar with Huawei's plans. These sources claim that such a TV could be used to download special types of data-heavy content, including 360-degree videos and virtual reality videos. 

The report is interesting because currently, Huawei doesn't sell TVs. It does sell an awful lot of phones, 5G equipment, and chips used in other brands' TVs, so a Huawei-branded TV isn't a very far-fetched notion. The idea behind the move, reportedly, is to catch up with companies such as Samsung, which sells a wider array of electronics devices, including TVs, smartphones and audio equipment.  Read more...
