With the good development momentum of 4G in 1H2014, China Mobile proposed to further reduce the prices of 4G mobile phones, "4G mobile phones have become increasingly mature, and prices may further decline. We predict that prices of 5-mode 4G mobile phones will be about 800 yuan. Meanwhile 3-mode 4G mobile phones will be about 500 yuan or less. So the situation will be better in the second half of 2014", China Mobile President Xi Guohua said recently.

As reported, China Mobile aims to sell 200 -250 million devices in 2014, in which the TD-LTE devices amount to 100 million, and will develop 50 million new TD-LTE subscribers. In the first half of this year, sales of China Mobile devices are mainly TD-SCDMA models, but in the second half of year it will be dominated by TD-LTE models.

As the 4G mobile phones in the current market are mainly of high-end, China Mobile hopes to launch more low-end 4G mobile phones in the future. The total number of present on-sale 4G devices and that will be launched in 2H2014 adds up to over 500, and the price span is also very large, prices of the high-end devices can be 5000 yuan and 700 yuan of the low-end.

Previously, China Mobile launched its own brand 5-mode 4G smartphones, whic only cost 999 yuan. Xi Guohua said, China Mobile hopes to drive the development of the industrial chain, "rather than make money through the sale of devices".

And about the previous debate on the device technology route in the market, China Mobile, as reported, believes that 5-mode (compatible with GSM, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, TD-LTE and FDD LTE five technology system) devices will be the development goal in the future; and there will be certain demand for 3-mode devices, China Mobile will make the development plan based on the market demand.
