Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark made a phone call using a new technology called “immersive audio and video” that improves the quality of a call with three-dimensional sound, making interactions more lifelike, the company said.

• Current smartphone calls are monophonic which compresses audio elements together and sound flatter and less detailed, but the new technology will bring 3D audio where a caller will hear everything as if they were there with the other person.
• The call was held with Stefan Lindström, Finland’s Ambassador of Digitalisation and New Technologies.
• Nokia made the call using a regular smartphone over a public 5G network.
