In 2019, we saw vendors like Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, and LG crank out 5G smartphones and this year even Apple is tipped to jump the bandwagon for 2020. Additionally, as coverage will expand this year, consumers will have more of a reason to upgrade to capable handsets. A new report has now laid down predictions for 5G smartphone shipments for 2020 and while they’re not promising, there’s a lot of potential down the road.

In 2019, just 19 million 5G handsets were shipped, making up only 1 percent of the overall sales. According to estimates, 5G smartphone shipments for 2020 will grow to around 199 million units, while sales of handsets supporting older generations of connectivity will actually decline. That makes sense as consumers will be tempted to upgrade to take advantage of higher speeds to enjoy content like videos and games.
