US LIKELY TO SEE US$200 5G DEVICES THIS YEAR: COUNTERPOINT

摘要

In a blog post, Counterpoint research associate Matthew Orf said the increased adoption of 5G devices in the US had been partly driven by the release of the 5G-capable iPhone in 2020."In the first half of 2020, there were no carrier-compatible 5G smartphones with retail prices below US$400, but the release of T-Mobile’s REVVL 5G, the LG K92 and TCL 10 5G changed that," he said."Additionally, releases like Google’s Pixel 4a 5G, Motorola’s One 5G and Samsung’s GalaxyA51 5G were all on promotion at points during Q4, bringing their prices below US$400 andadding competition to a 5G price segment that did not exist just months before."Orf said there were plenty of indications that competitionamong 5G devices in this price band would become evenmore fierce in 2021.
