Most of the 5G-ready smartphones were released this year commanded a high price, except a couple of them, such as Xiaomi’s Mi MIX 3 5G. The phone costs around $670, but it’s worth mentioning that it is a revamped version of the original LTE model and features the same flagship-level internal specifications as the 4G variant. Quite recently, the company released the Mi 9 Pro in China and it sold so well that we will now see ten more 5G-ready Xiaomi phones next year so the company can capitalize on the imminent growth of 5G connectivity.
5G is the buzz word in the industry right now and around 125 to 300 million phones that will reportedly be sold next year are expected to be 5G-enabled, which means nearly 20 percent of next year’s shipments will be made up of 5G phones. Even though coverage of the next-generation standard still remains limited, it’s obvious that more and more networks around the globe will provide additional support for the 5G standard to grow. Speaking at the World Internet Conference, Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun said that the demand for its first real 5G-phone, the Mi 9 Pro, exceeded expectations in China. That’s why 10 5G-ready Xiaomi models have been planned for 2020.
