The battle for 5G has only just begun. Only since last year can we have in our hands the first terminals that support this technology. What began as something exclusive and high-priced, is gradually democratizing. However, the best-selling 5G mobiles of the first half of 2020 are still high-end, and have Samsung‘s Galaxy S20 as the protagonists.
As the 5G network is deployed in different markets, the offers of the operators are growing and the demand for terminals that support this technology is increasing. Samsung already has several 5G devices in its portfolio, including the latest Galaxy A42 5G, which seeks to reach more pockets with a bet on the mid-range. In this sense, and although the S20 are the best-selling 5G mobiles, it is possible that from next year the story will turn towards compatible terminals that do not reach 300 euros.
Samsung at the head of 5G
Now and according to the data revealed by Strategy Analytics, the Samsung Galaxy S20 + 5G has become the world’s best-selling 5G smartphone in the first half of 2020. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G and Galaxy S20 5G occupy the following positions with the second and third place respectively. We have to go to the fourth and fifth position to find competition for Samsung, where we find that the Huawei P40 Pro 5G and the Huawei Mate 30 5G were positioned in the fourth and fifth positions as the best-selling 5G mobiles of the year.
A cake yet to be shared
However, this list is expected to undergo a change when the year ends and as we move into 2021. It must be taken into account that the data related to the iPhone 12 will come into play , which this year all have 5G connectivity, as well Like the rest of the most economical range terminals, which little by little will integrate 5G connectivity and position themselves as super-sales. However, 5G connectivity is still not one of the main characteristics that consumers look for when buying a smartphone.
The commercial offer continues to be very limited, as is its expansion throughout the national territory. Further. The uses of this technology still have to take place beyond mere connection speed, where a game or a streaming movie will not undergo a great improvement in the experience, than is already achieved with 4G.
