Focus on:
1. Support 5G of Huawei P50 Procell phoneThe shell is sold to the outside world, which is regarded as an artifact to “save Huawei”. However, after actual measurement, the mobile phone case cannot reach the real 5G speed, which is ridiculed as 4.5G.
2. The manufacturers of 5G mobile phone cases are questioned to cut the leeks of shareholders. After the stock price rose sharply for several days, the controlling shareholder of the company announced a plan to reduce their holdings and cash out, which immediately ushered in a sharp drop in the stock price, and many investors were trapped.
Many users believe that the 5G mobile phone case just lights up the 5G signal, but it is not satisfactory in terms of 5G experience and mobile phone battery life. They question that the 5G mobile phone case is an IQ tax.
However, for Huawei fans, the 5G mobile phone case still gives them great hope. It is reported that the Huawei Mate 50 to be released this year will be equipped with a 5G mobile phone case. Judging from China Unicom’s sales of 5G mobile phone cases, in addition to selling separately, China Unicom also launched a preferential combination of Huawei P50 Pro + 5G mobile phone cases, which is equivalent to 5G mobile phone cases as long as 199 yuan.
For old users of Huawei mobile phones, the cost of experiencing 5G mobile phone cases is indeed a bit high; and for Huawei fans who want to change to a new phone, maybe they can try it?
Turn on the 5G signal, but the network speed is 4.5G?
At present, some digital bloggers have obtained 5G mobile phone cases and tested them.
A test video uploaded by a blogger at station B shows that, in contrast, the 5G phone case is heavier and thicker than the conventional phone case. After installation, there is a 30-second startup time. After the connection is successful, it will prompt you to activate the eSIM card service to use the 5G Internet access function. After opening, you can see the 5G switch in the system settings.
In the indoor test, the download speed of the mobile phone’s 4G network was 1.34MB/s; with the blessing of the 5G mobile phone case, the download speed of the mobile phone was 1.61MB/s; while the download speed of another 5G mobile phone was 23.28MB/s.
“799 yuan, which has increased the speed of the Internet, I feel that I have been charged an IQ tax.” He said.
In the subsequent outdoor test, the download speed of the mobile phone’s 4G network was 6.48MB/s; under the blessing of the 5G mobile phone case, the download speed of the mobile phone was 27.84MB/s; while the download speed of another 5G mobile phone was 75.06MB/s .
Judging from the outdoor test results, the 5G mobile phone case can still improve the network speed of 4G mobile phones, but it is still far from the real 5G network, which can be called 4.5G.
In addition, although the 5G mobile phone case has achieved a certain increase in network speed, it also has a certain cost of power consumption.
On the page of China Unicom’s online business hall, it is suggested that since the 5G mobile phone case is powered by the mobile phone, after wearing the product, the battery life of the mobile phone will be affected to a certain extent according to the usage scenario and frequency of the product; in addition, wearing the 5G mobile phone case will occupy the mobile phone. The USB port may conflict with other USB peripherals. For example, it cannot support analog headphones, and the 5G network cannot be enabled when the USB port is occupied in the charging scenario.
In addition to 799 yuan, do you have to pay a monthly fee?
It is worth noting that the 5G mobile phone case was first launched by China Unicom.China MobileAnd China Telecom’s support is still unknown.
When China Unicom sells 5G mobile phone cases, it gives two sales plans: one is to sell 5G mobile phone cases separately, priced at 799 yuan; the other is to sell Huawei P50 Pro and 5G mobile phone cases with a discount of 600 yuan Yuan, equivalent to buying Huawei P50 Pro can add 199 Yuan to get 5G mobile phone case.
However, the 5G mobile phone case sold separately is already out of stock, and you can only choose the arrival notification; while the combination of Huawei P50 Pro and 5G mobile phone case shows that it is in stock.
In addition, in addition to the cost of purchasing a mobile phone case, if you want to use the 5G network, you have to pay the eSIM service fee every month. The three major operators generally charge 10 yuan per month. Some netizens teased that the down payment is 799 yuan and the monthly payment is 10 yuan.
According to China Unicom, from June 10 to September 30, 2022, users who purchase a 5G mobile phone case and activate Unicom’s eSIM can enjoy discounts on eSIM service fees.
Judging from the current situation, the cost-effectiveness of buying a 5G mobile phone case alone is indeed not high, but if Huawei can bundle a new mobile phone with a 5G mobile phone case and sell it at a discount, it is indeed a good choice.
Recently, the long-awaited Huawei Mate50 series has been exposed again. According to the news, it is no accident that the opportunity will be launched in the second half of this year, and it can be matched with a 5G mobile phone case, and Hongmeng OS 3.0 will be the first. With Hongmeng OS 3.0, 5G mobile phone case to make up for 5G network, and combined discounts, it may be attractive to Huawei users.
5G mobile phone case companies cut shareholders’ leeks?
The popularity of 5G mobile phone cases has also attracted the attention of the companies behind them.
Both Shuyuan Technology and Meige Intelligence are vying for Huawei’s concept stocks. After the launch of the 5G mobile phone case, the stock price of Fangshuyuan Technology, the manufacturer, rose sharply for many days; another listed company, Meige Intelligence, also stated on the investor interaction platform that “this product is designed and developed by our company.” In fact, the The company mainly provides eSIM technology for 5G communication shells.
Under the sharp rise in the stock price, the shareholders of Shuyuan Technology started a cash-out plan. Data Source Technology issued an announcement after the market on June 13, saying that the controlling shareholder Dongxihu Electronics Group planned to reduce its holdings of the company’s shares by no more than 22.6914 million shares, accounting for 5% of the company’s total share capital.
The reason for the reduction of holdings given in the announcement is: in order to thoroughly implement the three-year action plan for the reform of state-owned enterprises and the pilot plan for the comprehensive reform of state-owned enterprises in Zhejiang and Hangzhou, comprehensively deepen mixed-ownership reform, optimize the corporate governance structure, further stimulate the vitality of enterprises, and moderately reduce the holdings of state-owned enterprises. shareholding ratio.
After the announcement of the reduction plan, Shuyuan Technology, which has been rising for several days, began to usher in a sharp drop in its share price. At the close on June 22, the company’s stock price fell 0.64 yuan to 9.9 yuan, or 6.07%.
In fact, at the current stage, the 5G mobile phone case brings more concepts to Shuyuan Technology, rather than substantive business. The company has also issued an announcement saying that the 5G communication shell is a personal consumer electronic product for a specific user, and the modules and other components used are externally purchased. At present, this product is only suitable for the P50 Pro model, and has not yet generated relevant sales revenue. It is relatively small and has limited impact on the company.
Huawei’s second-hand 5G mobile phones are refurbished, and the price/performance ratio is not high?
In addition to finding a way out for 4G mobile phones, Huawei is also maintaining its mobile phone business in various ways.
Selling second-hand 5G mobile phones is also an important way. According to reports, Huawei certified second-hand mobile phones are a series of cost-effective products launched by Huawei and certification partners. Through strict quality and functional testing, they ensure that product functions and performance meet Huawei’s certified second-hand mobile phone quality standards.
Interestingly, these second-hand phones are equipped with brand-new original batteries, equipped with Hongmeng OS 2, and enjoy Huawei’s official one-year warranty.
However, not all users agree with Huawei’s official claim of “high cost performance”.
Recently, a batch of certified second-hand mobile phones have been listed on Huawei’s official mall, including Huawei nova 8 and nova 8 Pro, priced at 2,599 yuan and 3,199 yuan respectively. According to the data, the Huawei nova 8 series was released in 2020, equipped with the Kirin 985 5G SoC chip, and the starting price at that time was 3299 yuan.
“The Chinese people’s second-hand market rules, the price of goods goes out by half! The one-year warranty is only worth two or three hundred, and two or three thousand to buy a refurbished second-hand mobile phone? Crazy thinking about money.” A netizen questioned. Of course, some netizens expressed their understanding: “We are willing to buy and sell, and both parties take what they need.”
Epilogue
In the mobile phone business, in order to make up for the shortcomings of 5G, Huawei has formed a variety of combination solutions.
For example, Huawei Smart Phones, Huawei Certified Second-hand 5G Phones, and Huawei 4G Phones + 5G Phone Cases. For Huawei, which can only launch 4G phones in a short period of time, the sales combination with 5G phone cases has indeed brought new ideas to Huawei fans. s Choice.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages to using a plug-in 5G mobile phone case. How far this road can go depends on how many Huawei fans can buy it.
