One after another, telecommunications giants such as Huawei, Samsung and Qualcomm have announced their latest fifth generation（5G）products with Huawei's Mate X and Samsung's Galaxy Fold attracting most eyeballs.

The telecom giants have also announced that 5G technology would be widely used by 2020, causing some experts to say the "5G epoch" is coming. Yet, when reporting about 5G, many reporters have described it as a "much faster" technology than 4G without mentioning any of its other advantages. As a result, the common public idea about 5G is that they could "download a huge movie within one second". Beyond that, most people know nothing about 5G.

Actually, 5G technology has many more advantages than 4G apart from speed. According to 3GPP, an international standardization organization, 5G technology can be used for at least three purposes-for connecting everything, reliability（可靠性）of connections, and removing delays.

"Connecting everything" is a proper slogan for 5G technology, without which the Internet of Things would be impossible, For example, self-driving cars contain several kinds of sensors, such as radar, computer vision, and GPS to identify driving routes, obstacles and road signs. 5G technology will link all the elements of a transportation system, such as traffic lights, CCTV cameras and, of course, cars to build up perfect coordination so they can avoid obstacles and move on driving routes, which will help strengthen self-driving technology.

Reliability of connections is another key characteristic of 5G technology, whose use can be spread to other fields where high safety standards are required. For example, in certain surgeries（外科手术）, doctors put nano-robots inside a patient's body and have to keep constant control over the robots to ensure they work well and do not cause any harm to the patient. This is an area where 5G technology can be of great help, as it can build up reliable and continuous connections between the monitor and the nano-robots.

And removing delays might come in handy especially in online games. Even long after 4G technology was introduced, players continued to complain about losing games because of low speed. This problem can be solved with 5G technology, because it will ensure continuous high speed.

And for those people who think that 5G costs will be very high, they need not worry. The cost problem can be solved in two ways.

First, factories can produce more micro base stations, which not only occupy less space but also cost less. And second, many more terminals（终端）can use a 5G base station compared with a 4G base station. The more terminals using a 5G base station, the lower cost each of them have to pay. Therefore, 5G technology won't be as costly as you thought.
