Will the 5G market usher in changes? Private 5G discounts surpass the three major operators

In addition to the rapid development and wide coverage of 5G base stations, there are also an endless stream of mobile devices that are used in conjunction with them. Who would have thought that a 5G mobile phone that was very expensive a year ago can now be purchased for only a thousand yuan. You should know that the average selling price of 5G mobile phones in 2019 was still around 5,000 yuan, and in 2020 it fell to the 3,000 price range. As for 2021, it will be even cheaper. You can buy a good 5G mobile phone for as low as 1,500 yuan, which can be said to be very cost-effective.

It stands to reason that with the widespread coverage of 5G signals and the general price reduction of 5G mobile devices, there should be more and more 5G users in China! However, according to the data disclosed by the three major operators, most people have only replaced 5G devices and have not upgraded to 5G packages. Many people are still using 4G, and they are keeping a wait-and-see attitude towards the new 5G.

Obviously 5G has better signals and faster network speeds, so why are people unwilling to use it?

According to the observations of some netizens, the reason for this situation is that the existing 5G package charges have increased a lot compared to 4G packages, which has brought a certain economic burden to Chinese consumers. Therefore, many people are looking forward to the three major operators to launch more economical and affordable 5G packages and truly achieve "speed up and reduce fees" in the 5G era.

However, before the three major operators lowered their prices, a private operator in the market, Quanmin Youda, launched a new package called 5G Free Choice, with a monthly fee as low as 9 yuan and a data fee as low as 1.2 yuan/G. The discount is higher than the current three major operators, and the super high cost performance is enough to allow you to achieve 5G freedom, so it has become a new choice for many consumers. You should know that this price of 5G tariff is more cost-effective than many 4G packages, which greatly lowers the threshold for 5G use, and it is also a good thing for accelerating the layout of 5G in China.

With the advent of the mobile Internet era, watching TV series and videos has become commonplace. Unfortunately, the 4G network speed is getting slower and slower. Only by switching to 5G can you get a better experience! Unfortunately, the 5G package rates of the three major operators are high and will not be reduced, which has led to the embarrassing situation of slow entry of 5G users. Now the launch of 5G free choice has given more people the opportunity and possibility to join 5G. Once the number of users increases, the cost allocated to individuals will naturally decrease, and the 5G rate will become cheaper.

The move by Quanmin Youda to lower 5G tariffs has inadvertently promoted the development of 5G and deserves praise! More importantly, with its stimulation, I believe that more consumers will choose to use 5G in the future, and more affordable 5G packages will be launched.
