South Korea will become the first country to commercially launch fifth-generation (5G) services on Friday as it rolls out the latest wireless technology with Samsung Electronics' new 5G-enabled smartphone Galaxy S10.
韩国将于5日正式推出5G商用服务，从而成为全球第一个推出5G商用服务的国家。该国的5G网络将支持三星电子新推出的5G智能手机Galaxy S10。
With one of the world's top smartphone penetration rates, South Korea is in a race with China, the US and Japan to market 5G, hoping the technology will spur breakthrough in fields such as smart cities and autonomous cars, and drive up its economic growth that slowed to a six-year low in 2018.

"It is meaningful that South Korean telecom companies are providing services and networks meeting South Korean customers' high standard in speed and picture quality," Ryu Young-sang, executive vice-president at the country's top mobile carrier SK Telecom, said on Wednesday.
韩国最大移动运营商SK电讯的执行副总裁Ryu Young-sang于3日表示："韩国各家电信公司提供的服务和网络，在速度和图像质量上都符合韩国客户的高标准，这一点意义重大。"
