On November 20, according to Reuters, Qualcomm said that consumers will use 5G faster than 4G because more chips can be used for 5G, which will also bring lower prices to consumers. Faster use of 5G devices by consumers will also bring more profits to Qualcomm, and more smartphones will be equipped with more expensive 5G baseband.
Qualcomm also predicted that the global shipments of 5G smartphones next year will be 200 million, 450 million in 2021, and 750 million in 2022. If Qualcomm's prediction comes true, the shipment of 5G mobile phones will increase by 125% by 2021, and by 67% in the next year. Consumers will replace 4G LTE phones with 5G phones, which will boost the smartphone market. Last year, global smartphone shipments fell by 4%.
At present, the latest 5G baseband that Qualcomm has released is the Snapdragon X55, which is compatible with mmWave and sub-6GHz frequency bands. Previously, the Nikkei Asia Review reported that Apple will use the Snapdragon X55 for its iPhone next year.
In addition to Qualcomm, Huawei, Samsung, MediaTek and Unisplendor have also released 5G baseband. The increase of 5G baseband will gradually lower the price of 5G mobile phones. Next year, there will be 5G mobile phones of less than 2000 yuan.
