Smartphones Will Support 5G in 2019, Moto Z3 First Phone Confirmed To Have It

Smartphone users have been enjoying the speeds of 4G for a while now, allowing them to surf the web wherever they go with relative ease. Well, things are about to get even faster, as 5G is in the works and will apparently be supported by smartphones in 2019.
This news was revealed by techradar.com, who reported that Motorla announced that their Moto Z3 will support 5G when it launches. This makes it the first smartphone that is confirmed to have it, though there’s no doubt that many others will be following in the coming months. Verizon is set to be the carrier, and is currently testing the service in Houston, Los Angeles, Sacramento and another city to be announced soon.
For those unsure what 5G will bring to the table, it essentially is just going to make things faster all around in terms of connectivity. Internet browsing will be faster, and video quality will also be improved on calls. Overall, expect your typical smartphone activities to run a little more smoothly with 5G.
We still have a ways to go before 5G is available, but it will be very interesting to see how it improves the technology we use daily. While most are absolutely fine with the speeds they have now, it never hurts to optimize that and make things even better. We’ll bring you more information as soon as it becomes available.

More PS5 Metal Gear Solid remakes? Konami Must Know

Want more classic Metal Gear Solid remakes on PS5? You’ll need to speak Konami’s language—dollar bills—to express your desire.
“Regarding remakes of previous games in the series other than Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, we will listen to player demand and consider accordingly,” a Konami official told IGN.
Konami explained that “we chose Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater because it depicts the birth of Big Boss (Naked Snake), which is the starting point of the Metal Gear series.” Fans wishing it would last forever contributed.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, yes? Maybe you’ll buy another disc to show Konami you’ll pay again?

Sony Accused of Abusing Industry Dominance

The Romanian Competition Council is investigating Sony for abusing its console gaming market dominance. How exactly? The RCC says Sony sells video games exclusively through the PlayStation Store and blocks competing distributors from accessing activation codes.
“These practices would have reduced the purchasing options for PlayStation-compatible video games, leading to higher prices for video games on this type of console,” the RCC’s press release (in Romanian) states on ResetEra. These practices discourage Romanian studios from making PlayStation-compatible games.
The RCC is serious, too, having inspected Sony’s European headquarters to find out what happened. The press release states that “1.3 million console video game users” and “127 video game development studios” would be affected by Sony’s anti-competitive practices.
We’re not lawyers, but we believe digital game codes can’t be bought from other retailers, preventing price competition. Sony allowed the practice until a few years ago, so it’s interesting that it’s back.

Sony Expects 108 Million PS5 Sales This Generation

After the COVID-19 supply collapse, Sony CEO Jim Ryan is optimistic about PS5 sales. The Sony executive anticipates the PS5, the best-selling console for months, will sell 108 million units.
That’s difficult stuff considering Sony needs to sell 70 million more PS5s. Since supply has increased, consoles are selling like hotcakes in major countries, suggesting the firm is above 40 million.
Ryan stated in a recent games business briefing webcast and Q&A (thanks, TweakTown):
“The 70 million, I think, is the existing PlayStation 4 user base, and while we would hope to convert a large number of those people, we will definitely target and definitely be successful in bringing large numbers of gamers who did not own a PlayStation 4, and in many instances, who have never owned a PlayStation at all.”
Mr. Ryan’s numbers—should we focus on the 108 part?
