This is because there are flash memory chips and modems in 5G mobile phones, and there are also flash memory chips in 4G mobile phones, but the average price of flash memory chips in 4G mobile phones is 59 dollars, and a flash memory chip in 5G mobile phones is about 40 dollars more expensive than that in 4G mobile phones, so this is also one reason why 5G mobile phones are expensive, and the modem in 5G mobile phones is about 20 yuan more expensive than that in 4G mobile phones, so there is a reason why 5G is expensive. The second reason why 5G mobile phones and networks are expensive also includes the patent fees of 5G technology. What is the patent fee for 5G technology? That is, mobile phone manufacturers have to pay the technical department for the use of 5G network patents, so this step will also be added to the price of mobile phones, so 5G mobile phones are more expensive.
The third reason is the high adjustment cost of mobile phone manufacturers. In order to give users a better experience, mobile phone manufacturers will adjust their functions before releasing these 5G phones, and the adjustment is not once or twice, but at least three times to ensure that 5G phones can reach the best state. This is one of the performances that every mobile phone manufacturer is responsible for users, so it is necessary to add this adjustment cost, and the same adjustment cost will also be added to the price of 5G mobile phones.
The last reason for the high cost of 5G mobile phone network is the cost of a basic component of 5G. What we know is that the biggest highlight of the 5G network compared with the 4G network is that the network speed is super fast, and at the same time, it can increase the data capacity. Therefore, in order to realize a data transmission characteristic of these networks, these mobile phone manufacturers must replace the main equipment of mobile phones and upgrade those basic components, including capacitive resistors, management chips, heat dissipation modules and so on. Therefore, the cost of these four aspects leads to the high cost of 5G mobile phones and 5G networks.
