Updated:2016/8/30 16:36

Handsets supporting VoLTE have been released in China since July 2015 with a much faster developing speed compared with the average global level.

CATR (China Academy of Telecommunication Research) recently announced that new modes of handsets supporting VoLTE accounted for nearly 50% of 4G handset modes in China in the first year, and this number was 11% in the global market, while prices of those cut rapidly in China - mobile phones around CNY 1,000 caught 45% of the modes of VoLTE devices.

VoLTE supported handsets of over 100 new modes have gone on sale in last two quarters and there have been about 600 modes supporting VoLTE in China by June, showing faster development than 4G handsets. VoLTE enabled handsets accounted for 12% & 79% respectively in 3Q15 & 2Q16.

The shipment of VoLTE enabled handsets has hit 100 million in China, catching over 1.5% of the total shipment of handsets in China in July 2015 and 76% in June 2016.

The average price of VoLTE enabled handsets has declined from nearly CNY 5,000 in October 2015 to CNY 1,500 rapidly in June 2016, laying a good foundation for the rapid popularity of VoLTE enabled handsets. VoLTE supported handsets of domestic-brand are at a lower price, which accounted for 78% of the total under CNY 2,000 in June and 45% equaling or under CNY 999.
