Life in the fast lane with new technology

As Chinese consumers' enthusiasm toward 5G hits a new high, a video made by a university student has offered a sneak preview of how the superfast technology "tastes" in reality.

The video made by He Shijie, a 20-year-old student at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, was so well received that it was viewed more than 30 million times on a social media platform within a day. It was later reposted by key major media outlets and received millions of comments.

With no 5G smartphones currently available to the public in China and the country just granting commercial licenses days ago, He's video offered a preview of how the state-of-the-art technology looks like in reality by using an Oppo Reno 5G smartphone.
