5G has been promoted for three years, why do some people still insist on using 4G? It turns out that I thought too simply

In recent years, there have been more and more voices about 5G, giving people the feeling that everyone has 5G. But in real life, there are not as many people who actually use 5G phones as imagined. There are even many people who are still buying 4G phones when major manufacturers are fully producing and launching 5G phones. You may wonder why they choose to buy 4G phones, and what is the reason behind it? Take a look at these 5 points to see if it is what you think.

01 Focus on practicality

Although 5G phones are smoother to use than 4G phones, 4G phones are not unusable. The network speed is not bad, and the performance is also good. It can be used for basic chatting, downloading, watching videos, and playing games. This is the reason why some people do not switch to 5G phones. Since 4G phones can be used, there is no need to follow the trend and pursue 5G.

Moreover, the elders are actually unwilling to learn all over again after changing to a new phone. For them, 4G phones are enough for them and they are used to them. They don’t want to bother to study new digital products. For this kind of people, they will only choose to change to a new phone if the phone is broken and cannot be used.

02 Long time to change the device

Smartphones have a relatively long lifespan, usually 3 to 4 years. According to statistics, most people replace their phones every 2 years. 5G phones have only been available in recent years, and everyone's phones are still working fine, so it is normal that they haven't had time to replace them.

03 4G mobile phones are more affordable

With the widespread promotion of 5G mobile phones, some 4G mobile phones will choose to clear out stocks and reduce prices. Compared with 5G mobile phones, 4G basically has no major disadvantages. The screen appearance and camera parameters are very perfect. The biggest difference is that there is no 5G chip. However, the price is not a little cheaper. Ordinary users will naturally give priority to 4G mobile phones when choosing.

04 5G packages are still immature

Even though 5G phones have been launched for so long, 5G packages are still immature and very expensive. Currently, mainstream 5G packages cost more than 100 yuan. You should know that most people's mobile phone packages are only 40 to 50 yuan, and some even cost more than 10 yuan. In comparison, it is not just a little bit more expensive.

05 5G advantages are not obvious

The two major advantages of 5G are fast speed and low latency. Fast speed is only reflected when downloading software and caching videos, but now there is wifi at home, work, store, restaurant, etc., and 5G network is rarely used.

Low latency is more useful when playing games, but the difference is almost invisible to the naked eye, and most people can't feel it when using it. From this point of view, the experience of 5G mobile phones has not improved much.
