5G supported smartphones now sell more than 4G smartphones. Although 5G mobile internet network has not been put into use in our country yet, 5G is used in many countries. On the other hand, newly introduced phones now include 5G support. However, in some regions where 5G is not available, 4G options of these phones may also be available for sale. Despite all this, the sales of 5G phones have surpassed the sales of 4G phones.
Results based on recent reports from Counterpoint Research. While the sales of phones with both mobile connection support were close to each other last December, the sales of 5G models gained momentum with January and left 4G models behind.
