A Weibo tipster has revealed that Huawei could launch a 5G phone case that will enable 4G devices to transit to 5G connectivity. Currently, Huawei devices do not support 5G connectivity due to chip restrictions. The new technology could prove very important although the optics and performance capability of the system has not been established.

A chipset that supports 5G will trump the use of a 5G phone case inside a 4G-enabled device, but this could provide better performance than 4G. There is no official confirmation yet from Huawei on the rumored 5G phone cover and we do not have any release details yet. The Weibo tipster also stated that the rumored 5G phone case will indeed be less efficient than an integrated 5G chipset.

An image of the rumored Huawei 5G phone case was also shared by the tipster. It shows a large camera cutout that bears a striking semblance with the P50 series, The case also has a base gradient finishing on its rear side. The phone case, as per the render, has network bands on all sides meaning that it could indeed perform better than a regular P50 case for example.

Huawei continues to pursue ways of overcoming the debilitating sanction regime that has significantly downgraded its strides previously as a 5G leader. It had garnered loads of patents and even projected making inroads into 6G technology before sanctions rolled in.

Huawei is billed to be the first OEM to release the world’s first 5G-enabled smartphone and that is still on course to be released in June 2019. Ahead of that time, a report from DigiTimes just indicated that key suppliers to manufacturers the various components of the phone have been confirmed. The device has been confirmed to feature a new Cooling module which is to be produced exclusively by Taiwan-based Auras Technology. The various component and parts of the phone which has been ordered is expected to arrive before the end of the year

Auras technology’s chairman YS Lin is reported to have noted that 5G technology is more than 10 times faster than its 4G counterparts and as such devices ought to adopt high-performance thermal solutions. It is also gathered that the company started trial production last week and would start the fulfillment process (flow production) in September. This Cooling module is said to be made from copper sheets and would be 0.4mm thin which are capable of dissipating higher temperatures faster than graphite sheets found in current smartphones.

Mass production isn’t expected to be a big problem as the heat dissipation copper sheet is what is mostly applied in high-end slim notebooks today. It should be noted, that other phone manufacturers have also indicated interest in manufacturing 5G smartphone, so it’s unclear if Huawei would be the first brand to hit the market with the device. But either way, any manufacturer that plans to produce such phone, would still need a highly efficient cooling system. Most of them may likely also adopt the copper cooling sheet.
