With the advent of 5G networks, will 4G phones become obsolete? Not necessarily

The development of mobile phones has been very rapid, from the initial big brother to the current 5G mobile phones. In the past few decades, the mobile phone network has been upgraded from 2G to 5G. Nowadays, mobile phones are becoming more and more powerful. How many people are too lazy to open their computers in normal times? Whether it is a spreadsheet, listening to music, or watching a drama, a mobile phone can handle it. Mobile phones have also evolved from a single phone function to an all-round life tool. In daily life, a mobile phone can basically solve most problems when you go out.

5G network is different from the previous 4G and 3G. Domestic users are more concerned about 5G. After all, this is the first time that China's technology has surpassed the United States and taken the lead. Although the commercial coverage area is not very wide, 5G mobile phones have begun to pour into the market. Looking at the current mobile phone market. The mobile phones launched before are still 4G networks, and the mobile phones launched this year are also 5G and 4G versions. So now that 5G networks have become popular, why do we still sell 4G mobile phones? Will anyone buy 4G mobile phones?

When 5G came out, many people felt that if they didn't use 5G, they would not be able to keep up with the trend. Therefore, when consumers buy mobile phones now, they will put 5G first. But now 5G mobile phones are really more expensive, and the 5G network does not have a wide coverage. It is not possible to use 5G everywhere, so 4G is still very popular now. Now I believe you will also have a feeling that the 4G network speed has become slower, and you suspect that the operator has slowed down. In fact, it's just that more people are using it, and there will be some congestion.

This year, more and more mobile phones will support 5G networks, and 4G phones will gradually be replaced. But this is only temporary. Upgrading 4G to 5G is not the same as upgrading 3G to 4G. The speeds of 3G and 4G networks are very different, and many people think that 4G is after all. Although 5G also has a great network improvement, 4G is enough for us. Do you usually watch videos with 4G? Is there a high delay when sending WeChat? Therefore, for ordinary users like us, 4G can meet our daily lives.

The 5G phones released recently are more of a gimmick. Although some areas can experience 5G signals, they have not been able to achieve 100% coverage, and even 50% has not been achieved. Moreover, the price of 5G phones is still relatively high. Mobile phones that support 4G networks are still cost-effective. After all, 4G network coverage is wider and the price of mobile phones is lower. Considering the price of 4G packages, it is still very attractive to consumers.

Although the 5G network is gradually expanding its coverage, 4G will not be eliminated in the short term. Think about how long it took to upgrade from 3G to 4G. Therefore, the current 4G mobile phones are still very popular. Manufacturers will not worry about the sales of 4G mobile phones. After all, in the minds of some people, 5G is not a rigid demand. Think about Apple's products this year. The mobile phones sold now do not support 5G networks at all, but the sales are still very good.

The speed of 5G network is very attractive. You can play games and watch videos without lag. However, there is WIFI everywhere when you go out. Think about it, when we go out and enter a store, the first question we ask is, is there WIFI? With faster network speed, we have a better experience, but we can't avoid that the traffic we consume every day is also increasing. Therefore, even though 5G network coverage has begun to be laid, 4G has not reached the end of its life. Don't think that you can't keep up with the trend with the 4G mobile phone you are using now. 4G may not be completely eliminated by next year, so don't blindly pursue 5G.
