Turkey is on the verge of a new era in mobile communications. According to a statement by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, 5G technology will be officially launched in Turkey on April 1, 2026. With its high speeds, low latency, and increased capacity, this next-generation connection technology will transform not only communication but also every aspect of daily life, from business processes to entertainment. With 5G, users will be able to download large files in seconds, stream 4K videos instantly, and experience uninterrupted performance in cloud-based games.

5G: Not Just Speed, But a Revolution

5G not only increases download speeds by up to 10 times compared to previous-generation technologies; it is also redefining the functioning of the digital ecosystem. Sub-millisecond latency in mobile communications paves the way for critical technologies that require instantaneous response, such as autonomous vehicles, remote surgeries, and augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) applications. Furthermore, 5G’s high capacity makes it possible for millions of devices to connect to the internet simultaneously within a square kilometer. This forms the backbone of large-scale digital transformation projects such as Smart Cities and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Turkey demonstrated its commitment to transitioning to this technology with the recently concluded 5G frequency tender. In line with statements made by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, mobile operators will begin gradually rolling out 5G services starting April 1, 2026. This process will begin initially in major cities such as Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir and in densely populated areas, before gradually expanding throughout the country. This historic step signals a transformation that will elevate efficiency and innovation, particularly in strategic sectors such as industry, healthcare, and education.

As this major transformation approaches, TECNO, which stands out with its investments in innovative technologies, is expanding its 5G-compatible product family to prepare its users for the future. In addition to the recently launched SPARK Slim 5G in Turkey, the brand offers solutions that meet the speed, performance, and aesthetic expectations of users across various segments with the SPARK 40 5G, CAMON 40 Pro 5G, CAMON 40 Premier 5G, CAMON 30 Pro 5G, CAMON 30 5G, CAMON 20 Pro 5G, Phantom V2 Flip 5G, PHANTOM V Fold2 5G, PHANTOM V Flip 5G, POVA 6 Pro 5G, and POVA 5 Pro 5G models.

TECNO not only supports 5G connectivity in these devices, but also aims to deliver the full potential of 5G by equipping them with fast charging, high-resolution displays, and powerful AI-enabled processors.

TECNO aims to complete software and infrastructure compatibility for all its devices by April 1, 2026, the official launch of 5G in Turkey. This way, users will be able to step into this new world of speed without needing to change any devices when operators activate 5G service.
