Recently, the Institute of Information and Communications Technology released data saying that in 2021, the shipment volume of 5G mobile phones in the Chinese market was 266 million units, an increase of 63.5% year-on-year, accounting for 75.9% of mobile phone shipments in the same period, far higher than the global average of 40.7%.
This means that up to now, the Chinese market has sold more than 440 million 5G mobile phones, because the 5G mobile phone sold in 2020 is 163 million, and the 5G mobile phone sold in 2019 is about 13 million units.
However, according to the data of the three major operators, as of November, China Mobile's 5G package users had 374 million, while China Telecom had 178.76 million households, China Unicom had 149.5 million households, and the total number of the three major operators exceeded 700 million.
And the comparison of these two figures, which means that there may be 260 million users at present, who have not bought 5G mobile phones, but used 5G packages. More than 200 million people have been fooled by operators.
Of course, some people say that there are also some dual-SIM dual-standby 5G mobile phones, so that the number of users is greater than the number of mobile phones. But in fact, there are also some 5G mobile phones, which do not open 5G packages, and use 4G packages, so these special cases will not be discussed.
We know that to use 5G networks, there are actually two major requirements, one is a 5G mobile phone, and the other is a 5G network.
If there is no 5G mobile phone, opening a 5G package, in fact, is still using a 4G network, which does not make much sense. And if there is a 5G mobile phone, there is no 5G network, it is the same, the use of 4G network, there is no point.
But why so many people who do not have 5G mobile phones use 4G networks, which is related to the marketing of operators.
Of course, in order to make more money, after all, 5G packages are more expensive, so they constantly fool 4G mobile phone users and let them also open 5G packages.
According to the Internet, some netizens said that they had met marketers, in order to let him open a 5G package, the other party will tell that 4G mobile phones open 5G packages, the network speed will be faster.
I don't know what everyone thinks about this? I think having a 5G phone, having a 5G network and then opening a 5G package is the right choice, if there is no 5G phone, I think it is not necessary to open a 5G package, there is no point, just spend more money, unless the 5G package is more suitable for you than the 4G package, cheaper.
