At the recently concluded MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2021,5G was the biggest talking point. In that, the most discussed was how the prices of 5G devices have “come down.” The 5G smartphone prices are dropping dramatically and smartphone makers have some exceptionally good devices in the sub $500 category.
