Why are mobile phones getting more and more expensive? An expert tells you

Recently, the most common message I saw from friends in the comment section is that the prices of mobile phones are getting higher and higher, which is outrageous. Some friends will reply that it is not the phone’s problem but your problem if it is too expensive. From my own point of view, the price of mobile phones has not been getting higher and higher in recent years, but the number of high-priced mobile phone brands has increased, so everyone feels that all domestic brand mobile phones are very expensive. This is why everyone has such a feeling. I also asked the master who sells mobile phones offline and asked the reason. He told me three truths.

All major domestic manufacturers have entered the high-end market, and flagship phones are "involuted"

The word that can represent 2021 is definitely "involution". It's not just about working and going to work, but also about the fierce competition among manufacturers. This year, almost all SLR brands you have heard of, regardless of size, have begun to prepare or have already released their own high-end phones. Honor is the most typical example. This year, it released the Honor magic3 series, which also brought Honor to the 5000-6000 price range. Secondly, the IQOO8 series pro has also reached 5000+, and it will be even more serious next year. At the end of the year, OnePlus and Realme brands have also announced that they will launch high-end flagship phones next year. The reason why major manufacturers do this is to get a share of the high-end market. After all, this year the high-end market share vacated by Huawei has been either eaten by Apple or Xiaomi, and mid-range brands are also very jealous.

Configuration stacking! The cost paid by manufacturers is indeed high

Let’s start with August this year. From the Huawei P50 series at the end of July to the Xiaomi Mix 4 series and the vivo X70 series in August, as well as Samsung from abroad, it can be said that this year’s top flagship phones are all in August. These companies have also put a lot of effort into their new products, the top imaging systems, the most expensive process technology, the best temperature control materials, and the best screens. They not only show their selling points, but also compare them with their so-called friendly companies at the press conference! Therefore, prices are also rising, and prices are getting more expensive year by year. However, this year, the most unexpected thing for major manufacturers is...

Apple is the controller of the market, and its tricks have left major manufacturers powerless to fight back.

This year, Huawei's market share has decreased due to suppression. Everyone should know this, but what about Huawei's market share that has been vacated this year compared with last year? There will always be someone to eat this cake. Apple is here. This year, major brands fought hard in August. In mid-October, when the Double 11 warm-up period was about to begin, the iPhone 13 was released. This was equivalent to a king bomb, which stunned domestic manufacturers. The iPhone 13 series, which has its own traffic and popularity, has been reduced in price for the first time in recent years, and it is the most enhanced iPhone series in recent generations. This has made many Apple fans return to their arms, and during Double 11, the iPhone is also unprecedentedly reduced in price by up to 600 on JD. You must know that this was just released, so Xiaomi executives later said that it was not that they were not good enough, but that the opponent was too strong. Apple only used small tricks to create a climax in the market users.

In summary:

The last sentence is a suggestion I got from my senior. Mobile phones are getting more and more expensive nowadays! But at the same time, the quality of mid-range thousand-yuan phones is also getting higher and higher. I still say the same thing, I suggest you just buy the right ones and not the expensive ones! You can buy a good phone with a budget of 2k or 3k.
