1000-2000 yuan file 5G mobile phone next year
Although so many 5G mobile phones have been released, they are currently selling at a high price, basically more than 10,000 yuan.
Fortunately, from the trend point of view, the future price of 5G mobile phones will gradually become close to the people. China Mobile announced that it will launch a 1000-2000 yuan 5G mobile phone at the end of 2020, targeting the consumer and industry markets, and creating more than one hundred terminal products.
Independent telecom analyst Fu Liang said in an interview that the price of 5G mobile phones is closely related to the release of Apple’s mobile phones. It is expected that after the release of new products in the spring of next year, the price of 5G mobile phones will drop significantly, and the price will be about 6,000 yuan. The price is about 2,000 yuan, and it has most of the performance of the current million mobile phones.
According to industry analysts, it is expected that by the middle of next year, the price of 5G mobile phones will not be lower than 5,000 yuan. “The price of 5G terminals is actually combined with 5G network coverage. When the network coverage does not reach a certain proportion, the terminal price will not drop significantly.”
Buying a 5G mobile phone now? Most users wait
Do you want to change the 5G mobile phone now? With the release of the 5G commercial license, many users are considering this issue. According to a survey conducted by Chinanews.com on social media, as of 21:00 on the 25th, nearly half of netizens chose to “see the situation and wait and see”, and only 14.5% of netizens chose “must buy”.
Some netizens said, “I bought a 5G mobile phone and estimated that the 5G signal coverage is not good. It is better not to buy it.” Some netizens said, “4G is enough, and 5G is not needed for the time being.”
In fact, the user’s willingness to change the mobile phone has already dropped. The relevant data shows that from the third quarter of 2017, the domestic 4G mobile phone market has experienced a year-on-year decline in sales for the seventh consecutive quarter, with an average annual decline of more than 10%, mainly due to the slowdown in product innovation.
In addition, the reporter found that most of the current 5G mobile phones only support NSA (non-independent networking), and individual support for NSA/SA (independent networking).
But in the future, terminal multi-mode multi-frequency is the trend. China Mobile also said that in terms of mode bands, it will promote the development of multi-mode multi-frequency terminals. On January 1, 2020, it will fully support NSA/SA and promote the simultaneous development of 2.6GHz, 3.5GHz and 4.9GHz.
