Consumers could suffer from sticker shock when it comes time to buy a 5G-enabled phone, suggests a new report from IHS Markit. Although consumers expect to pay more money for 5G smartphones, the prices may exceed their expectations dramatically, with some devices selling for as much as 29 times more than what the average buyer might anticipate.
LoL
With that prices they can wait till 2050, to be honest i am fed up with these phone companies constant upping the prices of their product.
For instance i refused to pay the heavy price apple gave the iphone7 plus and waiting till the x arrived . And then found a iphone 7+ for a normal price with 256 Gb mem. Else i would have refused to pay the 450 euro the man asked for it.
People can call me scrooge but i do not care, all toys in a phone does not make them better.
Its more a want to brag product these days, the new models are in my view not even worth having.
And i don't care about bragging or on new tech which does not even work, now why you say!.
Well simply in my country they supposed to be up front in tech but i actually have massive problems making a normal phone call often. And wifi suffers from the insane amount of competition in urban area's so much that you hardly get a connection to any stable one. Even at my home i constant am battling the 124 nearby other wifi senders. But because some of them use forbidden senders your legal product can't beat the massive signals those senders have. So when i move a few metre in my house my phone/laptop/pad whatever is already loosing signal. So guess what i have to make sure i have a cabled computer near and at the moment just for my small house already 4 AccesPoints .... Insanity is all i can say. Then we have the insane slow acceptance from new tech by the 3 giants who own every isp and phone company here. It takes years before they finally adopt new tech and when they do its again partial or so bad its hardly usable ( well unless its a company and pay alot of money ) but for me just a normal person forget about it.
Then there is the other thing, which scares me even more. Huawei is often making better phones for MUCH less if i compare them to the 1800 euro costing apple flagship, i get the feeling the top of apple are insane. At almost every important point the huawei is better especially regarding connectivity and camera. I am ashamed that i walk with a friend having a 300 euro costing huwie who beats my in that time costing 1500 euro phone in every aspect. In speed, yes even in charging and lifetime., camera much better and more and better options. And worse less stupid decisions at usage as well. When i try to remove a program from phone i have to use a trick to get it done and that annoys me almost to insanity. That such a stupid way to remove a item is made and no way of doing it otherwise. On the android it can be removed in several ways with ease.... but on Apple .... No way.
