2021, the year chosen for the price of smartphones to reach its peak?
Written by Carlos Rubio Mazas in Mobile
In the world of mobile telephony, there are different users. Some prefer inexpensive phones under 200 euros, others prefer smartphones a little more expensive but not exceeding the 700-800 euros mark and there are others who want the best no matter what the price. of a smartphone.
These are the people who spend more than 1000 euros on a high-end device every year and that is what we wear a few years that the price of smartphones does not stop increasing. Illusions of us who thought that the price of smartphones had peaked!
From now on, 2021 could be a different year and some “experts” in the sector believe that this year could bring us some surprises. A year when the price of smartphones could stagnate.
2021: end of the price increase?
Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra is one of the most expensive smartphones on the market
A few months ago we joked that cell phones could cost over $ 2,000. These days it doesn’t seem very far-fetched.
With every new generation phone, we see how the price goes up. Better screens, more powerful processors, more and better photo sensors, new technologies like 5G… There are many “excuses” for increasing the price of devices year after year.
However, as the Android Authority reports, Jeff Moore of the company Wave7 Research dares to assert that 2021 could be the year for brands to stop launching increasingly expensive smartphones.
As he stated, the success of smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE should lead different companies to see phones of this style (mid / high ranges with contained prices) do users want.
But this fact is not unique to Samsung. LG has confirmed an improvement in sales thanks to devices like the Velvet, a really cool, cheap and powerful terminal that is not a high end but that we were able to analyze and that we really liked. Also Apple with its iPhone 12, perhaps one of the “cheapest” high end that can be found today.
The design of the LG Velvet is exceptional, the best of the terminal without a doubt and it is not expensive at all
Ensuite? The current market confirms that most users bet on high-end terminals but without exceeding 1000 euros / dollars. High performance devices but without the inaccessible prices of most companies’ flagship products.
Therefore, what the experts say is that in 2021 there will still be some expensive phones but there will be an increase in high-end “cheap” smartphones for sale. Smartphones with the best on the market but for which you don’t have to take a mortgage to buy them. If so, 2021 can be a great year.
