South Korea aims to launch 6G prototype in 2026



5G has yet to become mainstream. As it stands, there are still many countries around the world where 5G isn’t available yet, but it appears that over in South Korea, the government already has plans to launch a 6G prototype as soon as 2026.Now, we already know that the development of 6G has already begun and companies like Samsung are working on the technology. But as it stands, 6G in its current form still needs a lot of work because based on its current form, the distance for data transmission is at a measly 15 meters.

Right now, it has been suggested that the commercialization of 6G is expected to take place in the late 2020s or early 2030s, but the South Korean government is apparently hoping to get there a lot faster. Samsung isn’t alone in trying to develop the technology. A report from a few years ago revealed that Huawei is also working on the tech, although the way many in the world view China and its companies, we’re not sure if many will be quite as eager to adopt Huawei’s tech at this point in time.

5G is already rated to be pretty fast, but we have heard that the theoretical speed of 6G is expected to hit 1Tbps, several thousand times faster than what 5G can offer. This means that things like videos and music and even games that are being streamed should load almost instantly. In any case, 2026 is still several years away so it might be too early to get excited about it.

• Google Pixel users are once again reporting a storage bug.
• The problem seems to be linked to the January Play System update.
• Users say they cannot access the internal storage on their Pixel phones after the update.

Google Pixel users are facing a new storage issue after updating their devices with the latest January 2024 Google Play System update. Multiple users are reporting that they are unable to access the internal storage on their phones.

?The symptoms are all the same ? internal storage not getting mounted, camera crashes, Files app shows no files, screenshots not getting saved, internal storage shows up empty in ADB Shell, etc,? wrote a Reddit user.

The complaints are coming from all across the Pixel-verse, with the Pixel 8, Pixel 7, Pixel 6, Pixel 5, and Pixel Fold affected by the problem.

Pixel users faced a similar problem back in October when the storage bug affected Pixel devices running Android 14. At the time, it affected Pixel users who had multiple profiles on their phones. Google patched the issue in November, but it looks like the January Play System update has once again resurrected the issue.

Google told 9to5Google that it?s looking into the bug and is aware of its existence. There?s no word on when a fix will roll out or if Google will pull the January update, which still hasn?t reached many users.

If you haven?t applied the January 2024 Google Play system update to your Pixel phones yet, you might want to wait until we hear about the next steps from Google. If you have already installed it and are experiencing the storage issue, you can try deactivating multiple profiles on your phone to see if it gets resolved.

You can head to Security and Privacy > System & Updates > Google Play System Update to check your Pixel phone?s Play System update version.
