[NEW UPDATE] Samsung 5G: Experts Say Samsung Is Hyping This
Some parts of the world, such as China, have yet to launch 4G networks, but already Samsung is promising to deliver high speed 5G wireless data connections to consumers by 2020. The claim comes as the firm announced it had developed its first core technology for fifth-generation networks. Samsung’s estimated speeds would allow a movie to be downloaded in under one second (BOOM). 'Follow this Story' for further updates.

Experts says 5G speed claim by Samsung came too early
The key problem is that there is no agreed 5G standard – and may not be for years, explained Shahram Niri, deputy director of the 5G Innovation Centre at Centre for Communications Systems Research (CCSR) at the University of Surrey.

It takes a couple of years to develop and agree the best way to do this, and then one or two years to set the standards in committees," he said. "And then it takes another two or three years to deliver the systems on chips and do the testing."

I wish we’d hear less from companies like Samsung about how magical things are going to be in six or seven years, and more about how they’re working to solve data capacity issues and prohibitive usage thresholds today.

The South Korean giant said the test had witnessed data transmission of more than one gigabyte per second over a distance of two kilometres.
Some parts of the world, such as China, have yet to launch 4G networks, but already Samsung is promising to deliver high speed 5G wireless data connections to consumers by 2020.
Image via thenextweb.comThe new technology, which will not be ready for the commercial market before 2020 at the earliest, would offer transmitting speeds “up to several hundred times faster” than existing 4G networks, it said in a statement.
The test used 64 antenna elements, which the tech titan said overcame the issue of "unfavourable propagation characteristics" that have prevented data travelling across long distances using the bands

In tests conducted at a 28 GHz frequency, the company saw data speeds of more than 1Gbps over a range of up to 2 kilometers. Following the breakthrough, Samsung is planning ramp up its R&D efforts with the target of commercial availability in 2020.
Image via thenextweb.com5G (5th generation mobile networks or 5th generation wireless systems) is a term used in some research papers and projects to denote the next major phase of mobile telecommunications standards beyond the current 4G/IMT-Advanced standards.
5G does not describe any particular specification in any official document published by any telecommunication standardization body. Although updated standards that define capabilities beyond those defined in the current 4G standards are under consideration
According to Korea's Yonhap News Agency, Samsung has successfully tested its 5G network with 1Gbps speed (potentially up to 10Gbps), and aims to provide service by 2020.
