Predicting An Increase In The Price Of 4G Chips Following An Increase In Demand
Semiconductor Industry Analysts Say Supply And Demand Are Likely To Lead To Higher Prices For 4G Chips. Meanwhile, The Price Of A 5G Chip Is Expected To Fall.
Price Of 4G Chips, According to several semiconductor industry activists, the decline in the price of 5G chips is expected to continue in the second half of this year. At the same time, we will see a steady increase in the price of 4G chips. According to GSMArena, the reason for this is not so complicated: the demand for 4G chips is still high, But their production is decreasing.
It’s no secret that hardware makers are now focusing most of their efforts on 5G chips, with the help of Qualcomm and MediaTek; Two companies that have 5G chips in all price ranges.
This has led to the capacity of 4G wafer companies to be gradually filled, and as a result, prices have risen. In fact, since most markets still rely on 4G, 4G-enabled handsets make more profit for speculators. Sources in China believe that demand for 5G smartphones is set to rise sharply in the next two to three years, doubling each year.
What is your opinion of users in this regard?
Accordingly, all of the chipset-makers you can probably think of, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Unisoc included, are now slated to concentrate on SoCs supporting this trend from the second half of 2021. Finally, DigiTimes Asia now asserts that Xiaomi and OPPO are poised to join them, as both companies are now apparently preparing to launch in-house 5G chipsets of their own soon.
