Oppo teams up with Vodafone, Qualcomm and Ericsson for first 5G SA network in Europe

5G availability has been steadily increasing throughout Europe though at varying speeds. Oppo has now teamed up with Vodafone, Qualcomm and Ericsson to bring the first commercial 5G SA (Standalone Architecture) network in Germany which will be available to Find X3 Pro users after a software update.

Users in Dusseldorf, Munster, and Leipzig will be the first Europeans to benefit from 5G SA coverage. 5G SA brings much lower latency at 1ms compared to 5G NSA (Non-standalone) at around 20ms. The standalone mode only relies on 5G cell towers for signaling and information instead of using older LTE network infrastructure.

Oppo will continue its collaboration with its partners heading forward to bring the fastest 5G speeds spanning to a wide range of devices.
