"ITmedia Mobile Weekly Top 10" that aggregates the number of articles accessed in one week on ITmedia Mobile and introduces the top 10 articles. This time, we have summarized and summarized the week from February 7, 2022 to February 13, 2022. [Image] "Galaxy S22 series" expected to land in Japan In this aggregation period, the 1st and 6th places in the number of accesses were articles summarizing the campaign of payment services that can be used on smartphones. After all advantageous information is strong. The second place was an article comparing the 5G smartphones "AQUOS wish" and "arrows We" whose actual selling price is in the 20,000 yen range including tax. The actual selling price will differ slightly depending on the carrier, but the fact that you can purchase a 5G compatible smartphone at a price that allows you to change for 30,000 yen is an impression that 5G has entered the popularization period for the time being. .. Speaking of 5G, I have the impression that the area of each carrier has expanded toward the end of 2021. Even if it is not a so-called urban area, there are more opportunities to connect with 5G in places where many people gather. On the contrary, even in urban areas, there are cases where only the surrounding areas are aread so as to avoid places where many people gather for some reason. The reason why this happens is that there is a problem with the location of the base station, but it seems that the delay in construction due to the delay in material procurement is also having an effect. I hear that although the construction work has been almost completed, there are cases where the opening of the station (start of operation of the base station) was delayed due to the lack of specific materials. Still, the area is steadily expanding. It may be that "Oh, when I noticed, I started to enter 5G." In the 5th and 9th place of the ranking, there was an article about Samsung Electronics' "Galaxy S22 series". Like the S21 series, the Galaxy S22 series has three types in the lineup, but this time the largest screen "Galaxy S22 Ultra" is designed to follow the flow of the Galaxy Note series. Is attracting attention. It can be said that it is a de facto “Note revival” because the S pen can also be stored. If you are a Galaxy Note fan, look forward to the introduction of the Galaxy S22 Ultra in Japan!
