iPhone 13 is too powerful? Domestic mobile phone sales are released: domestic mobile phones have declined sharply

Recently, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology released the domestic mobile phone shipment data in January 2022, with a total of 33.02 million units shipped, of which 5G mobile phones accounted for 79.7%.

The domestic mobile phone market is basically dominated by smartphones, which accounted for 98% in January. In the early days, Xiaomi and other mobile phones focused on cost-effectiveness. The Redmi phone soon dropped to the price of 499 yuan, and its cost-effectiveness was much better than that of feature phones, which quickly eliminated the copycat phone market. In addition, national apps such as WeChat and Alipay only supported smartphones in the early days, which led to a rapid increase in the market share of smartphones.

In January, the market share of 5G mobile phones was 80%. China Mobile, which is rich in financial resources, is vigorously building 5G infrastructure, and the coverage of 5G signals is increasing rapidly. The N28 low-frequency band jointly built by China Mobile and China Broadcasting Corporation can build fewer base stations and achieve wider signal coverage. 5G has the characteristics of low latency and high speed, which greatly improves the user experience.

Xiaolei is in Guangzhou. In some areas, he couldn't even browse Weibo on 4G, but he could after locking it to 5G. At this point in time, Xiaolei recommends users to use 5G phones.

In January, domestic brand mobile phone shipments reached 25.62 million units, a year-on-year drop of 24%, accounting for 77.7% of mobile phone shipments, while the proportion in the same period last year was 84%.

Among foreign brands, the iPhone is the most influential in China. According to data from Counterpoint, Apple's market share in the fourth quarter reached 23%, creating the best single-quarter performance in the Chinese market. This is mainly due to the outstanding performance of the iPhone 13, which was released in mid-September. Due to the lower exchange rate and the increase in starting capacity from 64GB to 128GB, the increase in quantity and price has attracted many consumers to change their phones.

The battery capacity of the iPhone 13 series has increased to varying degrees, and the power consumption of A15 has been reduced a lot, which has greatly increased the battery life of the iPhone 13, and it can even beat Android flagships with a battery capacity of 1000mAh.

If domestic Android flagships want to regain their market share, they must work harder on chips. OPPO has released the Mariana NPU chip, and Xiaomi has also released the charging-related P1 chip. As the domestic semiconductor industry gradually grows, domestic Android flagships will be more competitive.
