On December 8, Huihuibao (a Chinese store) calculated the cost-saving index of new 5G phones in 2020. Xiaomi Mi 10 was recognized as the "most economical 5G smartphone of the year" with a score of 73,22.
Huishuibao evaluated the value retention index of various smartphone brands using the "Brand Retention Index". Brand retention index = average value of all models released by the brand in the first half of 2020. Value retention index = 80% of new market price at launch 3 months / price at launch of new model x 100.
Xiaomi Mi 10 і Mi 10 Pro – дві перші сходинки, а Honor 30 Pro + посідає третє місце.
In addition, the top 10 includes Huawei Mate Xs, Huawei P40, Huawei P40 Pro, Honor 30 Pro, OnePlus 8, Honor Play 4 and Huawei Nova 7.
Згідно з інформацією про постачання смартфонів, оголошеної Китайською академією інформаційних і комунікаційних технологій, з січня по жовтень 2020 року на внутрішній ринок смартфонів було відправлено 252 млн одиниць. 124 мільйони з них – смартфони 5G. Це становить 49,4% від загальної кількості.
Among 124 million 5G smartphones, there are only 183 models. They range from 1000 to 10 yuan ($000 to $153). Thus, customers have a lot to choose from.
It is worth noting that since June of this year, the supply of 5G smartphones has been steadily exceeding 60%. Following this trend, there is little doubt that 5G smartphones will make up the majority of the total in 2020.
Most recently, IDC expressed optimism about the growth of the smartphone market in the fourth quarter. The market research company noted that the main driving force was the growing demand for 5G smartphones. Total shipments are expected to grow by 2,4% YoY to 377,7 million units. This upward trend should continue in 2021, increasing by 4,4% compared to 2020. Although the planet is reeling from the effects of the coronavirus, the “remarkably fast recovery of the supply chain” and “significant incentives” from OEM channels and 5G terminals will make the market grow again.
