Everyone is promoting 5G products and 5G phones. Is 5G really that good? Should I choose a 4G or 5G phone?

The word 5G is "very hot". The topic of 5G has been discussed for more than a year. Currently, the three major operators are promoting their 5G packages, and major brands of mobile phones have also switched from 4G models to 5G models. Even the former "big brothers" Apple and Samsung brand mobile phones have joined the 5G ranks. They are all 5G and are promoting 5G. What exactly is 5G? It confuses people.

Since the operators got the 5G licenses, all the major operators have been busy building 5G base stations, because the operation of 5G must be supported by 5G base stations, and the construction cost of 5G base stations is about 4 times higher than that of 4G base stations. Although the topic of 5G has been discussed for more than a year, the construction of 5G base stations across the country has just begun. Many third- and fourth-tier cities have not been covered by 5G, and more 5G base stations need to be built. The first group of people who will experience the pleasure of 5G are of course the citizens of first-tier cities. Not only are the three major operators busy building 5G base stations, but domestic and foreign mobile phone manufacturers are also busy. At present, domestic mobile phone manufacturers have basically realized the transformation from 4G mobile phones to 5G mobile phones. In the past year, 5G dual-mode mobile phones have sprung up in the mobile phone market, which makes people who buy mobile phones very headache. Should they choose 4G models or the most "hot" 5G models now?

The advent of 5G dual-mode mobile phones has led to a price reduction for 4G models. 5G phones with the same configuration are more expensive than 4G phones. For ordinary people like us, buying a mobile phone is undoubtedly a multiple-choice question. How to answer this multiple-choice question? Well, let's analyze it. According to the 5G package prices of the three major network providers on the market, the monthly package fee is at least more than 100 yuan. In addition, you can't use the pleasure brought by the 5G network unscrupulously just by paying more than 100 yuan. The traffic in the package is tight, and it will be overspent if it is not controlled. I don't need to say more about the billing after overspending. Everyone should have gained experience in 4G packages. As far as I know, many people who bought 5G mobile phones took the initiative to turn off the 5G service because they couldn't afford it, including the battery consumption of the mobile phone.

5G technology is not yet mature. From the current point of view, the conditions for universal 5G are not yet mature, and 5G coverage is not something that can be completed immediately. Therefore, we should not blindly use 5G models as reference when choosing mobile phones, but should focus on demand and cost performance. Generally, a mobile phone is used for about 3 years. When your mobile phone is broken, 5G may be mature, and the cost of use may be the same as the current 4G. It does not mean that 4G will not be used when 5G rises. There is no such saying. I think it will take a lot of time for 4G to transition to 5G, so don't be confused or confused by 5G when choosing mobile phones. Again, the same sentence: which type of mobile phone has high configuration, good cost performance and is just within the purchase budget, then choose that type of mobile phone.
