At present, 5G mobile phones account for more than 4G models in the domestic market. Due to the demand for 5G antennas, RF, heat dissipation, large batteries, etc., they once became a major label in the early days of 5G mobile phones.

Recently, IDC, a market research organization, published a report, saying that the design of domestic 5G mobile phones has gone through the process of "first heavy and then light". More and more manufacturers have launched light and thin 5G mobile phones. At the same time, large batteries of more than 4000mAh have also become a common feature of 5G models.

IDC's definition of thinness in this report is that the weight is less than 190g (in fact, it only defines lightness). This standard may seem too reluctant two or three years ago (what? You call 190g thinness It is a test of the manufacturer's ability to make the fuselage weight below 190g on the premise of qualified endurance.

The first 5G water test models launched before November 2019 are hardly linked to thin and light. Among the leading manufacturers, OPPO took the lead in launching the 5G models Reno 3 and Reno 3 Pro with thin and light as the selling point at the end of 19. IDC statistics also show that only OPPO among the leading manufacturers continues to make efforts on thin and light, More than 90% of the models launched control the weight below 190g (the opposite is Xiaomi series).

However, since April of this year, Huawei has begun to dominate in terms of sales share (more than 40%), which is mainly due to the huge shipments of two lightweight 5G mobile phones, P40 and Nova 7.

Wang Xi, research manager of IDC China, believes that in recent years, with the popularity of short video applications, users need to quickly increase the length of time they hold mobile phones vertically with one hand. Therefore, products that are thinner and have a better sense of grip will add more points to the user experience. In the future, "thin and light" will always be one of the important factors for offline users to consider when purchasing.

In the 4G era, 4000mAh is almost a benchmark of "large battery", and more models only control the battery capacity at about 3500mAh. However, 4000mAh batteries in the 5G era are obviously too small. In IDC's judgment criteria, this is just the starting capacity of "large batteries".

Statistics show that more than 70% of the 5G mobile phones on sale in China recently have batteries with a capacity of more than 4000mAh. However, the trend of large batteries has been obvious in the last generation of 4G last year, including the demand for SoC performance, high refresh rate screens, and more powerful image systems. 5G is just one of the factors that accelerate manufacturers' stacking of battery capacity.
