Xiaomi Launches Big 5G Challenge To Huawei in China (bloomberg.com) 8
Xiaomi introduced its first phones compatible with the latest, fifth-generation cellular technology in China, as the country's once-biggest smartphone maker prepares for an uphill battle against domestic rival Huawei Technologies. From a report: At an event in Beijing, billionaire co-founder Lei Jun introduced the 5G-capable Mi 9 Pro, the latest of Xiaomi's classic product line, and gave the world a first look at a new concept phone called MIX Alpha, with a display wrapping all the way around the device. The Mi 9 Pro, built with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ processor and a gluttonous serving of memory and storage, has seven antennas to ensure the fastest possible cellular speeds, with Lei showing off real-world speeds in China of over 2 gigabits per second. It will start at 3,699 yuan ($520), while a 4,299 yuan model will max out the storage at 512GB. The long-awaited phone upgrade cycle that 5G networking is set to trigger will be hotly contested ground among China's leading smartphone vendors.

It's probably a real 5G network.
The only places in the world that lie about their phone networks are the USA and Canada.

It is fully capable of sending all your communications unencrypted to the CCCP for further analysis to update your social credit score, yes. At 2gb/s.
I'd rather send my data to them than the NSA/CSIS and all the domestic assholes they share it with.

Why would China require that data be sent to the now defunct Soviet Union (aka CCCP) for further analysis? They're fully capable of doing it themselves. ;-)
