Cell phones add new technologies every year, but One of the upcoming ones in 2024 is particularly interesting. Promising a big leap in speed and improved bandwidth, the new WiFi 7 (802.11be) standard will be available on two generations of mobile phones.

According to DigiTimes, Samsung will be the first manufacturer to add this new link. It won’t do with the future Galaxy S23, but with Galaxy S24. Once again, Samsung will be the manufacturer that envisions incorporating the latest WiFi technology into its devices.

Leveraging the 6 GHz band to reach up to 36 Gbps

WiFi 7 will be a big evolution. While WiFi 6E is considered a minor update, with WiFi 7 the 6 GHz band comes into play, which has already been approved in Spain and will complement the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Achieve speeds of up to 36 Gbps.

To get an idea, the promised speed of WiFi 7 is twice that of current WiFi 6. This will allow our mobile phones to take better advantage of WiFi.

2024 promises to be WiFi 7’s big landing year. Intel announced a month ago that it was working to get its WiFi 7 chips ready. This indicates that laptops and modems will have this connectivity, but these new modems will also be implemented in smartphones.

Officially, WiFi 7 will be available in May 2024, and the second quarter of 2024 will be the date chosen by Samsung to download its future flagship mobile compatible with WiFi 7. Something similar to what happened a few years ago with 5G connectivity.

In addition to Intel, Also, MediaTek and Qualcomm have shown their chips as compatible with WiFi 7.. For example, this is the case with the FastConnect 7800, which was announced during Mobile World Congress this year. It’s already in production, but adding it won’t be the Galaxy S23, according to DigiTimes, but we’ll have to wait another year for this promising technology.
