The update speed of mobile phones is getting faster and faster, which makes a lot of people confused. When we need to buy a new mobile phone, which one should we choose in the face of 4G and 5G mobile phones on the market? Today I will explain the pros and cons of choosing 4G or 5G mobile phones, I believe you will have a clearer understanding after reading it.
First, let's take a look at the advantages of 5G phones.
The biggest advantage of 5G phones is that they are faster. Whether you're browsing the web, playing games, or downloading uploaded data, 5G phones have faster speeds than 4G phones. Therefore, after buying a 5G phone, you will be able to enjoy a smoother experience and the smoothness will also be improved.
So next, let's take a look at the disadvantages of 5G mobile phones?
The first point is that from the price point of view, many people think that the price of 5G mobile phones is higher, while 4G mobile phones are relatively cheaper. However, this is not the case. Take this 4G mobile phone in my hand as an example, its price has exceeded 3,000 yuan.
Now, you can buy a 5G mobile phone for only more than 1,000 yuan. Therefore, from a purely price point of view, it is not possible to draw conclusions. Relatively speaking, the price of 5G mobile phones is also relatively affordable.
The second point is that for people who have bought a 5G mobile phone, they will inevitably need to use a 5G plan. However, today, 4G packages are still the mainstream in the market. Although you can enjoy the 5G network experience with a 4G plan in the area covered by the 5G network, if you want to get a better sense of smoothness, you still need to change the 4G plan to a 5G plan.
However, the price of 5G packages is generally higher compared to 4G packages. As a result, many people find it difficult to afford such costs and cannot complete the transition from 4G to 5G.
Thirdly, even if you buy a 5G package, if the phone itself is still a 4G phone, then you will not be able to enjoy the convenience of the 5G network. And to achieve the perfect combination of 5G phones and 5G plans, we still need to wait three to four years. So, at the moment, this is not possible.
Finally, even if you use a 5G phone, you still won't be able to take advantage of a 5G plan if the surrounding environment is not covered by a 5G network. For example, you go to a county town, and although there is a 5G network there, in your place, the phone still shows the 4G network.
Even if you buy a 5G phone and a plan, you still can't enjoy the benefits of a 5G plan due to the lack of coverage of the 5G signal. Therefore, in order to use a 5G network, three conditions must be met at the same time: a 5G handset, a 5G plan, and a 5G network coverage area.
Through the above points, I believe everyone has a clearer understanding of 4G mobile phones and 5G mobile phones. When it comes to buying, you don't have to worry about whether to choose a 4G or 5G phone. Although many people have 5G phones in their hands, they still use 4G plans.
Therefore, we only need to decide which phone to buy based on our personal needs, considering whether we are more suitable for using a 4G phone or a 5G phone. After all, 4G signals have far surpassed 2G signals, so choose according to your situation.
