　　The reporter visited the market and found that in the past two to three months, major operators have been promoting 5G packages with great intensity. The reporter learned from a domestic brand 3C experience store in Beijing Road business district that purchasing a 5G mobile phone and upgrading to a 5G package can obtain additional purchase subsidies. "It belongs to the price subsidy provided by the operator, and the discounts are different for different models." After repeated inquiries by the reporter, the salesperson revealed, "You don't necessarily buy a mobile phone, even if you buy a laptop and a tablet, as long as you upgrade to the store With 5G packages, subsidies can be applied to consumers."

In June, the three operators launched 5G packages with different discounts, some even as low as 80 yuan, including 30GB of data + 400 minutes of airtime.

　　On the other hand, China Mobile will "resurrect" the dynamic zone package, and introduce young celebrity endorsements. The latest co-branded card with a price as low as 59 yuan means that operators are ready to deepen the 5G market. In the near future, 5G packages The price is expected to be lower.

　　"Combining various factors, it is easy to understand why the number of 5G package users has increased rapidly since April this year, and it cannot be separated from the vigorous promotion of operator subsidies and discounts," industry sources told reporters. Data show that only in June this year, the number of domestic 5G package users increased by 22.38 million.

By the end of June, three companies had built and opened more than 400,000 5G base stations nationwide. At the same time, "everyone really holds 5G mobile phones in their hands, regardless of whether they use a package or not, the number of terminals connected to the Internet is 66 million as of the end of June."

　　Regarding the gap in package data, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology responded that some operating companies have evaluation indicators and good promotion measures for the next. Whether to add more 5G packages, there may be pressure for such evaluations. "When pushing underneath, sometimes the corners and corners are deformed, such as mandatory. These are not what we agree with, but in the mainstream, we think 5G is still better."

　　However, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology emphasized that there are a series of rules and regulations to protect the rights and interests of users, such as the "Telecommunication Service Regulations", "Notice on Regulating Telecommunications Service Agreement Issues", and "Notice on Further Strengthening of Consumption Reminders for Telecommunications Service Users". Telecom companies are all required to remind users when they add new services to users. If users do not agree, they can't open them casually. Not only 5G packages, but other services are the same.

　　In the next step, the local communications administrations will pay close attention to the situation in all provinces and regions, strengthen supervision and inspection, especially to investigate and deal with the violation of the legitimate rights and interests of users, such as upgrading and bundling of user packages without user consent.

　　Expert: 5G mobile phones are expected to drop to 1,000 yuan in the second half of the year

　　"The existence of data at the same time cannot explain which is false or the 5G package is "fudge"", independent telecom analyst Fu Liang said, the number of 5G package users of the operator, the number of 5G terminals connected to the network, and the purchase of 5G mobile phones and using 5G There are differences in data such as the number of users of the package, which is normal in the early stage of 5G development, as long as each data is clearly stated.

　　Fu Liang pointed out that because the current 5G package offers greater discounts compared to the 4G package, the latter at the same price contains more data than the 4G package. Due to the demand for data and the discount, some users who use 4G mobile phones use it directly. On the 5G package. "Looking back at the upgrade from 3G to 4G, the situation is similar. In the long run, the number of 5G package users and the number of 5G terminals connected to the network will converge."

　　According to the latest data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there are currently 197 5G terminals that have obtained network access permits, and that 5G mobile phones have shipped 86.23 million units this year. And it is expected that 5G mobile phone shipments will exceed 100 million by the end of the year.

　　The aforementioned analysts believe that as the price of 5G packages continues to fall, the future popularity of 5G is more important in whether 5G terminals can give consumers more choices.

　　The current price of 5G mobile phones has dropped to 1,500 yuan. With the launch of affordable 5G chips, the price of 5G mobile phones is expected to fall in the range of 1,000 yuan to 1,200 yuan in the second half of the year. By then, more people will change 5G mobile phones. "According to the latest data, domestic 5G mobile phone shipments account for more than 60%, which is a clear trend."
