Want to replace WeChat? The three major operators announced one after another, Tencent ushered in new rivals

As the overlord of domestic social platforms, WeChat has long become a part of people’s daily lives. Whether we chat to pay or take a taxi to shop, we use WeChat almost every day to complete various things in our lives. The powerful functions of WeChat have also attracted countless social software. Imitated, but these software ended in failure.

 

As the largest social software in China, WeChat has changed the huge tariff of 0.1 yuan per message of traditional text messages. It also provides users with many functions such as payment, learning and social interaction. This also makes a common social software in just 10 minutes. In more than a year, it quickly accumulated more than 1.2 billion users and became the most powerful social hegemon in China.

The rapid growth of WeChat has had a huge impact on the domestic communication industry. The voice call duration of the three major operators is getting shorter and shorter, and the use rate of SMS is getting lower and lower. Many users even say that the main function of SMS now is to receive. With verification codes, the frequency of WeChat video calls has also increased significantly compared to phone calls. Operators’ business is being eaten out bit by bit. The three major operators have officially decided to start breaking the game and regain lost market share in one fell swoop with the help of 5G news.

 

The three major operators successively announced that WeChat ushered in new rivals

According to the latest news from Sina Technology, 5G news will be commercially available nationwide in mid-October. For WeChat, this time the opponent is very strong. WeChat is no longer facing the challenge of its own brother software like QQ, but The three giants in the domestic telecommunications industry.

The construction of 5G news is nearing completion. China Unicom and China Telecom have completed platform construction and system deployment, and have entered the final verification stage. China Mobile has also completed data docking with major banks. After 5G news goes online , The digital renminbi will also meet with you, which will also promote the development of the digital renminbi.

 

5G messaging is more like an upgraded version of traditional SMS, which has significantly improved in terms of functionality, but is much lower than traditional SMS in terms of tariffs, which also gives 5G messaging the ability to compete with WeChat. After entering the 5G digital era, traditional SMS can no longer meet the needs of users and must be fully upgraded to avoid being eliminated by the times.

The emergence of WeChat has changed the problem of the high price of traditional SMS. The tariff of 0.1 yuan per message does not seem to be high, but if we calculate it according to our daily chat frequency, it will cost hundreds to thousands of dollars at every turn. The huge tariff will only fill the operation. In this case, the free WeChat quickly attracted users’ goodwill, and added diversified functions such as payment and Moments, which quickly accumulated a large number of users in a short period of time.

 

What are the advantages of 5G messaging?

As the saying goes: Know yourself and your opponent, and win every battle. WeChat has won the trust of users through free means, which has also kept the three major operators in the mind. Although China Mobile has launched services such as Fetion and SMS, the function is really single, not only sending charges, but connecting receivers. Downloading also requires a fee, and in the end Fetion and MMS disappeared in the long river of history.

Compared with 5G news, WeChat has already mastered a large number of users. Many users have long been accustomed to WeChat’s social, payment, health code and other practical functions. Compared with the two major social software, WeChat has obvious advantages, but 5G Messaging also has its advantages. 5G messaging will be an upgraded version of traditional SMS. It can send messages to each other through phone numbers without adding friends. This function has not been implemented in either QQ or WeChat.

Not only that, 5G messaging also has the function of a digital renminbi wallet. Payments can be completed even when there is no network. At the same time, it will continue to go online to buy train tickets, take the subway and other practical functions. In addition, 5G Messages can also have major social functions such as sending text, pictures and videos, so it seems that 5G messages are simply a "reissue" WeChat.

5G messaging also has inherent advantages. It can be used anytime and anywhere without downloading and installing. It is like the most inconspicuous text messaging application in mobile phones. It will replace the original text messaging application pre-installed on 5G mobile phones and reduce 5G messages. At the same time, dozens of mobile phone brands such as Huawei, Xiaomi and Samsung have completed the adaptation of 5G news. At the same time, domestic 5G mobile phone shipments have exceeded 168 million in the first eight months of this year. A year-on-year increase of 78.7%, laying the foundation for the development of 5G news.

Can 5G messaging replace WeChat?

5G messaging is the same as WeChat, but there are differences. WeChat is an Internet tool that focuses on social networking. It is the entrance between Tencent’s major applications. Not only that, WeChat also introduced major entertainment functions such as shopping, video account, and subscription account. In this way, Tencent is more inclined to social entertainment; although 5G news also has social attributes, it is more inclined to work and life, and both have their own advantages.

Can 5G messaging replace WeChat and become the domestic social hegemon? According to the current situation, WeChat has a strong user group. Many people have long been accustomed to using WeChat for chat, payment, and taxi rides. Although 5G messaging also has the same However, users will continue to use WeChat in a short period of time. If 5G messaging provides sufficient convenience, it is uncertain to replace WeChat in some functions in the future.

WeChat has been developing for many years, and its competitors have not had the last laugh. I don’t know if 5G news can rewrite history and become the new overlord of domestic social platforms!
