MVP: 5G phones soon to be more affordable
The Philippine Star
|October 01, 2024
PLDT Inc.boss Manuel V.Pangilinan sees the price of 5Gcapable phones going down, but said more work needs to be done to expand 5G usage among Filipinos.
In his keynote address before Ericsson executives, Pangilinan said PLDT has spent more capital to build up its 5G coverage in the Philippines, acknowledging the upgrade network capabilities in an online-centric era.
In line with this, the largest Philippine telco is also working on cutting the prices of 5G handsets to encourage more Filipinos to shift to the successor of 4G.
In August, PLDT wireless unit Smart Communications Inc. launched its own 5G phone in partnership with Shenzhen-based ZTE Corp.
The Smart ZTE Blade A75 5G is offered in the market for only P5,450, cheaper than the average cost of 5G handsets of P8,000 to P9,000.
