According to the Data Of the Academy of Information and Communications Technology, a total of 14.864 million mobile phones were sold in February, down 31.7% year-on-year. Among them, the shipment of 5G mobile phones was 11.374 million units, accounting for 76.5%.
And this 76.5% of the proportion is already the fourth consecutive decline, but also hit a new low in 5 months, which means that 5G is really cold, consumers are actually not cold to 5G, many people do not buy 5G, buy 4G mobile phones.
But at the same time as the sales of 5G mobile phones are cold, we have found another data, that is, as of the end of February, the number of 5G package users released by the three major operators.
China Mobile said it already had 425.42 million 5G subscribers, while China Telecom said it had 202.14 million 5G subscribers, while China Unicom had 164.9 million 5G subscribers, and the three major operators totaled 792.46 million, close to 800 million, with a penetration rate of nearly 50%.
In fact, at present, a total of 5G mobile phones sold in China are about 500 million units, that is to say, there are nearly 300 million 5G package users, which are actually contributed by 4G mobile phones.
It can be seen that these two data reflect the soaring number of 5G package users on the one hand, and reflect the cold 5G mobile phones on the other hand, which still looks very contrary to the sense of harmony and contradiction.
And this may also be the contradiction between the current operators and users, operators only want everyone to use 5G packages, and users do not want to buy 5G mobile phones, do not want to use 5G packages.
The reason why operators want everyone to use 5G packages is that 5G packages are more expensive, so that the per capita APRU value will be higher, and the revenue and profits of operators will be higher.
But users do not want to buy 5G mobile phones, that is, 5G mobile phones and 4G mobile phones, there is not much experience improvement, 5G mobile phones can do things, 4G mobile phones can also do.
And buying 5G mobile phones is more expensive, 5G packages are also higher, while 5G heat is greater, power consumption is higher, the battery life is relatively shorter, and the network coverage is not comprehensive, spending money to not enjoy better services, who wants it?
So we can see that many people can't buy 5G mobile phones, turn off the 5G network for the first time, and then use the 4G package, which is really a bit contradictory.
