Humanoid robots, virtual reality simulations and a new wave of smartphones running on 5G tech are also being unveiled during the event.
Meanwhile, major Korean telecommunications operator KT and its partner Intel are showing off their 5G services following a successful run of their commercial 5G network at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, including a system that used hundreds of cameras to capture athletes and broadcast footage in real time to VR viewers.
