Why do many people still insist on buying 4G mobile phones even though 5G networks have been fully commercialized?

Although 5G networks have been fully commercialized, many mobile phone manufacturers are still continuing to launch 4G phones. Even Apple has not yet officially launched a 5G phone. Although there are more and more 5G phones on the market, many businesses hope to seize the opportunity in the 5G phone market, so they have launched several 5G phones in succession. However, judging from the current sales, the sales are not ideal, and are not as good as Apple's 4G phones. Many consumers are still very interested in 4G phones. Why do many people still insist on buying 4G phones when 5G networks have been fully commercialized?

First: 5G network charges are too expensive

Although 5G networks are already fully commercially available, the reason why consumers are hesitant is not whether it is commercially available, but the 5G network package charges. If the cost of 5G packages is similar to that of 4G packages, then it is obvious that consumers will be more willing to choose 5G networks with faster network speeds. However, a practical problem facing 5G networks now is that the cost is too high, so the cost of 5G packages will definitely not be too low. Among the 5G packages currently launched by the three major operators on the market, the cheaper package costs 198 yuan, while the lowest cost of 4G network packages is only 18 yuan, which is still a very large gap. Whether the network speed increase is worth the extra 100 yuan in phone bills every month has become the main reason that troubles consumers. Obviously, from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, most consumers are unwilling to bear the extra 100 yuan in phone bills every month, so these people are more willing to choose 4G mobile phones.

Second: 4G network is enough

In fact, for most people, there is no need to use 5G network, because the current 4G network is enough to meet the daily needs of users. Even if it is switched to 5G network, the experience is not that high for ordinary people. The only feeling is that the network speed is slightly improved, but ordinary users may not feel the difference between the two. 5G network is actually more widely used in high-tech fields, such as AI technology, live broadcasting, and telemedicine, etc., but for ordinary users, the practicality of 5G is not high, so the cost performance is also very low. Therefore, most consumers can continue to use 4G network, and 4G network is enough, so there is no need to switch to 5G network. Therefore, 5G mobile phones are not attractive to these users. On the contrary, more affordable 4G mobile phones can better meet their needs.

Third: 5G networks are not yet fully popularized

Although 5G networks are already commercially available, the current coverage of 5G networks has not reached the level of 4G networks. In other words, 5G networks are still in the layout stage. Although they are fully covered in some central cities, if you go to more remote suburbs or rural areas, there may be no 5G signals. Therefore, there is actually no way to enjoy perfect 5G network services using 5G mobile phones, especially for users in third- and fourth-tier cities. Even if these users buy 5G mobile phones now, they still cannot use the 5G network and need to continue to use it as a 4G mobile phone. The price of 5G mobile phones is much higher than that of 4G mobile phones, so this is completely unnecessary and is just a waste of money. Moreover, there is still no accurate time for full coverage of 5G networks. If you want to reach the coverage of 4G networks, it will take at least five or six years, so buying a 5G mobile phone now is a complete waste.

In summary, users who have not purchased 5G mobile phones are more rational. Of course, there is no problem for users in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to purchase 5G mobile phones, because the 5G network in these areas has been fully covered. However, users in third- and fourth-tier cities do not need to rush to buy them. After all, the development of 5G networks still has a long way to go. What do you think about this?
