China Telecom unveils new cloud 5G phone

China Telecom, a major Chinese carrier, unveiled a cloud 5G smartphone on Tuesday as it works to meet consumers' growing demand for cost-effective 5G products.

The new 5G smartphone, named Tianyi No 1 2021, comes with a 6.53-inch display and is powered by the Chinese Unisoc Technologies Co T7510 5G chipset.

China Telecom said the phone is part of the company's broader efforts to promote the development of cloud-network integration.
