The most fierce irony of 5G, 5G mobile phones are no longer popular, and 4G mobile phones are rising again.
ICT released the sales of mobile phones in China in March, among them, the sales of 5 G mobile phones were again **, and the decline was greater than the overall decline, and the sales of 4 G are also decreasing, but not as large as the sales of 5 G, which makes the sales of 5 G continue to decrease in the proportion of 5 G, and the sales of 4 G are increasing.
At the same time, according to the statistics of the Academy of Information and Communications Technology, China Mobile's ** sales in March decreased by 40 compared with the same period last year5%, 5G mobile** sales decreased by 41 from the same period last year1% compared to 75 for 5 g mobile**4%。
In fact, domestic mobile phone sales continued to rise in March, but compared with October to January 2021, there is still a big gap, and sales in February also declined, indicating that mobile phone sales in China are not ideal.
The industry's expectations for 5 G to promote mobile ** sales have become a bubble, and judging from the sales in the first quarter of this year, 5 G sales may be even worse, the proportion of mobile phone sales in China has steadily declined, more than 80%, and the proportion of 4 G mobile phone sales has risen, which is undoubtedly a huge irony of 5 G.
There are several main factors for the sluggish sales of 5G handheld devices, one is because the major mobile phone manufacturers are too optimistic about 5 G, and the other is because the major operators have not done 5 G well, and now the recovery of 4G may give a wake-up call to major domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
Since the beginning of the 5 G era, some domestic mobile phone manufacturers have begun to self-righteously think that 5 G can help users to upgrade, so the ** of 5 G is much higher than that of 4 G, and they generally like models of about 2000 yuan, models of 1000 yuan are relatively rare, and models within 1000 yuan are relatively rare.
However, the final situation is that domestic mobile phones with more than 2000 yuan have no figure in the domestic sales rankings, while Apple's top ten models are increasing, which shows that when buying the mid-range, people are more favored by Apple, and most of the domestic rankings are within 2000 yuan.
Although the 5 G mobile phone is a beat slower than the 4 G mobile phone, there are still many people using it, according to the data, the mobile phone market sales in March TOP10, Redmi 9 A (tenth), Redmi 10 A, Redmi Note114 G mobile phone, Redmi 9 A in April, once again accelerated, becoming the world's best-selling mobile phone brand, beating a large number of domestic mobile phones.
Compared with the total number of 4G base stations of China Mobile of more than 2.4 million, compared with the 700,000 4G base stations established by China Mobile in the first year, it is still very slow, and the quality of the 5G network is very low, resulting in the low quality of the 5G network, resulting in the poor user experience of 5G mobile phones, and the 5G terminals of 5G terminals account for only 50% of 5G terminals.
As a result, there was a small climax in the sales of 5G mobile phones in the fourth quarter of this year, and then it soon fell to the bottom, 4G mobile phones because of its cost performance, and got the favor of some consumers, in this case, major mobile phone companies and operators should consider carefully, do not overestimate the effect of 5G.
