India should be entering the world of 5G sometime next year if spectrum allocations happen soon. Some parts of the ecosystem are rapidly getting ready. Devices are among them. There are already a number of 5Gready handsets in the market. And Tarun Pathak, research director at Counterpoint Research, estimates that by the time the first 5G network is launched in India, there would be 30-40 million such handsets.
This readiness is because of the work that smartphone chipmakers and handset makers have together put in. A lot of work continues to happen on that front, and that was the subject of the Times Techies webinar last week in association with the world’s largest smartphone chipset maker MediaTek. The company has three R&D centres in India, in Noida, Bengaluru and Mumbai, with over 700 engineers.
Kuldeep Malik, director of corporate sales at MediaTek India, said 5G users around the world are demanding unique experiences and features that are tailored to their lifestyle, and that is creating the need for different kinds of premium smartphones. That, in turn, requires customisation of chips, and MediaTek has enabled that with what it calls the Dymensity 5G Open Resource Architecture. “This allows our OEM partners (smartphone brands) to have closer access to the chip, enabling them to do a lot more customisation around AI, multimedia and camera,” he said. It allows them to bring features like AI-based super resolutions, smart ambient display (displays based on the lighting around you), depth mapping, colour correction.
