This year the revolution in connectivity will be 5G, widely discussed and debated about the pros and cons that this new technology brings. In any case, mobile phone manufacturers are churning out 5G devices as much as I can and our Xiaomi is no different, since it has declared that its future top of the range will always have this connectivity supplied.
The high 5G speed for example will allow us to view and download content in 4K but nevertheless, this type of content occupies a large storage space. In short, there will be more and more large files to download or keep, a problem that Xiaomi has taken into account by registering a new patent that concerns a new one 5G SIM with integrated internal memory.
In detail, this new patent registered by Xiaomi shows us a revolutionary card that combines the functionality of a traditional SIM to which a storage space is connected as happens with current microSD cards, but everything is integrated into a single card, in so as to take up less space than the current options that we have in the market, such as SIM + microSD.
Xiaomi patents a new 2 in 1 SIM with 5G and integrated internal memory
This new SIM would provide network access and 5G mobile coverage, thus enabling speeds of over 1Gbps. At the same time, we find the functionality of a microSD card without having to use other space dedicated to housing it. The image above shows us the hybrid card, where on one side we find the presence of the 5G SIM and on the opposite side the chip dedicated to memory.
This new technology could revolutionize the smartphone market, allowing us to expand the internal memory of our mobile device without the need to have an additional microSD slot. At present, however, we are only talking about a patent and it is not said that it is actually made. Who knows that Xiaomi did not draw inspiration from a modding operation that we have already shown you in this article.
In fact, the idea had already come to the Ziguang Guowei company which, in collaboration with the telephone operator China Unicom, last year created its own SIM card with 128 GB storage capacity. A solution that supports both communication and mass storage functions, precisely the principle on which the new solution of Lei Jun's house is based.
