The Galaxy S22 has become the world’s first smartphone to get Vo5G (Voice over 5G) support. Therefore, all the models of the Samsung S22 lineup, including Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra can now make Vo5G calls. Following the footsteps of the S22 series, the Galaxy S21 is the world’s second Vo5G-supported smartphone. Recently, Zain Kuwait, a Middle East telecommunication company, announced the Vo5G technology, and the Galaxy S22 Series is the first phone in the world with Vo5G support. This is another example that Samsung is super quick to adopt new technologies and features, making it stand out from its competitors.
Although 5G is readily available in many countries and regions, it’s primarily used for data transfers rather than voice calls. Many network operators are trying to make a transition to Vo5G and Zain Kuwait has become the world’s first carrier to offer Voice over 5G with nationwide coverage.

What are the benefits of Vo5G?
The successor of the VoLTE technology, Vo5G allows its users to make high-quality and clearer calls over the 5G network. Additionally, we can expect faster calling and improved voice clarity, while removing indoor coverage issues that are faced during a normal call.
For now, only Galaxy S22 and S21 series support Vo5G services.
