It seems like every tech website is constantly talking about 5G smartphones nowadays and every mobile device vendor is regularly releasing handsets supporting the fastest wireless networks out there, but are actual consumers also routinely buying these hyped up and aggressively promoted products?
For certain markets, like China and South Korea, the answer to that question is absolutely, but when it comes to the US, the messy 5G rollouts of the nation’s top wireless service providers are largely to blame for keeping the adoption rate comparatively low. On the bright side, the numbers are slowly and steadily going up, according to a new report put together by Counterpoint Research.
While 5G penetration was estimated at only around 1 percent stateside in 2019, the sales share of the nation’s 5G-enabled phones jumped to 3.3 percent for the first month of this year before reaching a solid 13.5 percent in August 2020. In other words, roughly 1 in 7 handsets sold in total across the country between August 1 and 31 came with 5G support, which is still not a mind-blowing figure but it’s definitely a whole lot better than 1 in 100 or 1 in 30.
