The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice, and the three major operators had no choice but to accept it. Users who have not yet switched to 5G are blessed

The 5G era is coming. What should 4G users do?

On October 31, 2019, at the 2019 China International Information and Communication Exhibition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that 5G commercial use has officially started.

At present, the 5G network is still in the experimental stage and has not yet been fully covered throughout the country. The 5G network is mainly concentrated in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, as well as major provincial capitals. Although the 5G network is not covered nationwide now, as time goes by, the 5G network will inevitably swallow up the 4G network.

Where there is 5G network, there is 5G mobile phone.

What advantages do 5G phones have over 4G phones?

1. Speed. The download speed of 5G (1.25GB/s) is 12.5 times that of 4G (100Mbps).

2. Processor upgrade. The processor of 5G mobile phones has been upgraded to the Snapdragon 845 processor, which can reach the gigabit-class 4.5G connection technology. 5G mobile phones will definitely not encounter the situation of being stuck when playing Candy Crush Saga like 4G mobile phones.

3. Large memory. You don’t need to wait long to download a mobile game with a large installation package. It can be downloaded in about 1 minute.

The arrival of 5G shows that Internet technology is developing rapidly and indicates that our era will become more fast-paced.

5G phones are so good that everyone is eager to own one. However, with the arrival of 5G phones, 5G packages have also come along. The high price of 5G packages has forced 4G users who are about to buy 5G phones to stop.

If the whole country is fully covered by 5G network, what will happen to 4G users who want to buy 5G mobile phones but don’t want to sign up for 5G packages?

The 5G era is here, but 4G users are not abandoned

A few years ago, I was still wondering when the 5G era would arrive! Now I am not shouting anymore, but I am a little worried: 5G data packages are more expensive than 4G data packages, and although the network speed is fast, the data is consumed quickly. Should I keep up with the times and upgrade from 4G data to 5G data? I am very conflicted, but I really want to buy a 5G phone.

There are two types of China Mobile 5G packages.

First: Personal Edition. There are five levels of personal edition, the lowest rate is 128 yuan, including 30GB of traffic and 500 minutes of calls, and the highest rate is 598 yuan for 3000GB of traffic and 3000 minutes of calls.

Second: Family Edition. The lowest package is 160 yuan, with 30GB of data and 500 minutes of calls, and the highest package is 869 yuan, with 300GB of data and 3,000 minutes of calls.

I can't afford the home version, and I can't afford the personal version either, mainly because I have two cards. If I switch to a 5G package, it will be less than half a month's rent. It's really too expensive, so should I keep up with the times?

Recently I saw a piece of news: On February 3, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Notice on Improving 5G Service Quality", which roughly means that 4G users can enjoy the 5G network without upgrading, but users must replace 5G terminals when using the 5G network. Non-5G terminals can only enjoy 5G tariff discounts when applying for 5G packages, but cannot use the 5G network.

In other words, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has officially confirmed that the three major operators will not force users to upgrade to 5G networks, nor will they deliberately conceal the entrance to 4G package activation. 4G users can also use 5G networks if they have 5G phones, and the three major operators can only accept it reluctantly even if they are unwilling.

This is really great news for me as a 4G user. I can finally make up my mind to buy a 5G mobile phone. Once I buy the phone, I, a 4G user, can also enjoy 5G network speed.

in conclusion

5G packages are indeed expensive. If you have to use 5G packages to use 5G networks, this will inevitably increase the pressure on consumers. Another point is that if a 4G mobile phone has a 5G package, it can only enjoy the benefits of the 5G package, but the 5G network cannot be used. The future must be the 5G era. Data shows that from the time 5G mobile phones were officially launched on the market to today, the shipment volume of 5G mobile phones has reached 165 million units, which means that more and more users are using 5G mobile phones. This also shows that in the near future, 4G mobile phones are likely to be replaced by 5G mobile phones, and 4G networks will be transformed into 5G networks. It's time to upgrade. The performance of a mobile phone will deteriorate after a long time of use. It is more cost-effective to buy a 5G mobile phone instead of upgrading the package. And now with the confirmation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, 4G users have nothing to worry about.

Come with me into the 5G era and experience the new atmosphere and new wave brought by 5G. Are you willing?
