In 2023, the purchase of 5G smartphones increased by 27% throughout Brazil, but the biggest growth occurred in 2025, when it reached 45%. The biggest factor for people to still invest in models with the new technology is the price, which despite being considered by some people, has decreased, going from R$3.113 in 2023 to R$2.780 in 2025.
Samsung is the company that has the most power to change the reality of 5G in Brazil, because it has a 44,3% market share in Brazil: which means that, for every 10 devices sold here, 5 of them are Samsung. The company also has a good market here, since Brazil is the second country in the world with the largest 5G network. standalone installed, just behind China.
