Nokia made the first-ever audio and video call using 3D spatial audio, achieved through the 3GPP Immersive Video and Audio Services (IVAS) codec.
5G Advanced update will enable spatial calls, offering faster speeds and improved energy efficiency, though mass adoption by cellular networks may take a few years.
IVAS codec requires smartphones with at least two microphones, which Nokia anticipates most phones will support once cellular carriers integrate the technology.
Nokia's research division, not the affordable handset-selling Nokia, developed the technology, emphasizing its serious approach to innovation.
