At 13th April 2020,
McDonald’s official WeChat public account released an interesting new
announcement. The fast food giant is going to launch a 5G smart product in
China, on the 15th of April 2020.
The company also shared various teasers
and promotional images of the same. However, it is currently unknown what
exactly the smart product is, and how the newer and faster bandwidth ties in
with it. Although from what we can gather, the new product will have a display
surrounded by thin bezels. It will even feature a wide angle lens, which will
support facial recognition as well.
Amongst other news, the device will also
have speakers and will support 5G networking. As of right now, it is also
unclear if this is a collaboration between McDonald’s and a tech industry
brand. This may still be likely, considering the company primarily focuses on
the fast food industry and not technology, but that sort of collaboration
would’ve seen more advertising or promotion.
Thus, we can only wait for the official
announcement to know for sure, what the device in question actually is. The
date of the conference is 15th April 2020, so stay tuned as we will be covering
the event and more.
