Reports indicate that as 5G chipsets gain ground, prices for 4G chipsets are set to see an increase.
While most hardware manufacturers are building towards 5G, the demand for 4G chips is still high, but with dwindling supply.
Thanks to many major markets like India still running exclusively on 4G networks, 4G-enabled devices are reportedly bringing higher profit margins for re-sellers as compared to 5G devices.
With firms like Qualcomm and MediaTek offering 5G chipsets at ever-lower price points, 5G production is on the rise, while 4G chip foundries are reportedly on their way out.
