Summary

Analysis on the configuration of commercial handset for WCDMA

For the weight and the dimensions, the average weight for the commercial handsets of WCDMA, which are new in the market for the first half year of 2004, is 135g and the average dimensions is 146cc; by contrast, the average weight is only 95g for GSM/GPRS handsets, and the average dimensions is only 97.6cc. It still needs one year or so for the weight and the dimensions of WCDMA handsets to catch up the level of GSM/GPRS handsets.

As for the talk time and standby time, the average Continuous Talking Time for the commercial handsets of WCDMA for the fisrt half year of 2004 is141 miniutes, and the average Continuous Standby Time reaches up to 287 hours. Compared with the second half year, the average Continuous Talking Time for WCDMA handset is not increased, while the average Continuous Standby Time has been significantly increased by 66%, this is mainly due to that the standby time for FOMA 900i Serial handsets has reched up to 400 hours or so.

In addition, compared with GSM/GPRS handsets, the Continuous Talking Time for WCDMA handsets is very short, less than 2/3 of the Continuous Talking Time for GSM/GPRS hansets. It still needs one and half years or so to catch up the level of GSM/GPRS handsets. However, the standby time for WCDMA is about 120 longer than GSM/GPRS handsets.

As for the screen resolution, the screen resolution of the commercial handsets for WCDMA has been constantly enhanced for the first half year of 2003 and the first half year of 2004. For the first half year of 2003, there was no any commercial handsets with the screen resolution of 240×320 for WCDMA yet, and for the first half year of 2004, there was no any screen with resolution of 128×160 yet, and the screens with resolution of 240×320 are increasingly becoming the dominant components and have been applied in 60% of the commerical handsets for WCDMA.

As for the screen color depth, there were 30% of the models of WCDMA handset using 4096-color screen for the first half year of 2003. For the second half year of 2003, however, the 4096-color screen no longer existed, and the 65K-color screen had been used in 87.5% of the models, and there were also 12.5% of the models that use 260K-color screen. For the first half year of 2004, the penetration of 260K-color screen had been increased by 27.5 percentage points with 40% of the WCDMA handset models using it following the launch of FOMA 900i serial handsets. For the same period, the proportion of 65K-color screen had dramatically decreased by 27.5% with only 60% of the WCDMA handset models using it.

As for the camera, all the commerical handsets for WCDMA have camera since the first half year of 2003, and most are built-in CMOS cameras. But as Japanese vendors introduced more and more models that take CCD camera, the proportion of such handset models keeps increasing, up to 53% for the first half year of 2004 against 20% of the first half year of 2003, and the tendency for it to become the dominant component is very obvious.

The resolution of the camera for WCDMA handsets had kept increasing for the first half year of 2003 and the first half year of 2004, mainly because of more WCDMA handsets with high resolution camera launched from Japanese vandors. However, the cameras with 300K pixels were still the main products in the first half year of 2004, with applications to 47% of WCDMA handsets.

Analysis on the components of the commerical handsets for EV-DO

For the weight and the dimensions, the average weight and the average dimension for the commercial handsets of EV-DO launched in the first half year of 2003 is 98g and 86cc respectively; which are almost the same with CDMA/CDMA 1X handsets for that same period. But for supporting more applications, the weight of the commercial handsets for EV-DO had beed somewhat increased. Compared with the first half year of 2003, the average weight of the commercial handsets for EV-DO had been increased by 17.5%, up to 115g, for the first half year of 2004, and the average dimension has been increased by 18.3%, up to 102cc.

As for the talk time and standby time, the Continuous Talking Time for the commercial handsets of EV-DO had kept at 170 minutes for the fisrt half year of 2003 and the fisrt half year of 2004, and the Continuous Standby Time had kept in general at 200 hours. The talk time equals what it is for CDMA/CDMA1X handsets, but the standby time is longer than that of CDMA/CDMA1X handsets.

As for the screen resolution, the screen resolutions for 60% of the commercial handsets for EV-DO fell in the range of 128×160 for the first half year of 2003. But, the proportion for the commercial handsets for EV-DO with screen resolution of 128×160 had sharply decreased to 30% or so, instead, the screen resolution of 176×220 had been applied rapidly, with proportion sharply up to 33%. By the middle of the year of 2004, the proportions of handset screens between 128×160 and 176×220 were flush with each other for EV-DO handsets. Nevertheless, the resolution of 128×160 will be gradually replaced by 176×220 and 240×320.

As for the Screen Color Depth, there is no any 4096-color screen for EV-DO handsets since the beginning of 2003, and 65K-color screen and 260K-color screen halved the applications. But, by the middle of 2004, 260k-color screens had been applied to 92% of EV-DO handseta, and the 65K -color screen will be eliminated soon from EV-DO handsets. It is worth to notice, that KDDI actually launched the EV-DO handsets with 1568K-color screen, manufactured by HTTACHI.

As for the camera, most EV-DO handsets have built-in cameras, and incresdingly more and more handset models present CCD camera, and the proportion for such models had increased to 33% for the first half year of 2004 from 18% for the first half year of 2003. To the contrary, due to more models of EV-DO handsets with CMOS camera launched from Sumsong, the models with CCD cameras had decreased by 7% against the first half year of 2003.

In addition, the camera resolution applied in the commercial handsets obviously tends to rise. By the beginning of 2004, there is no 100K pixels camera any longer for EV-DO handsets, and the 300K cameras became the mainstay, along with 1M camera applied in 23% of the handset models. It is predicted that the 1M cameras would be popularized at first ahead of EV-DO handsets.

The comprison between WCDMA handsets and EV-DO handsets

For the weight and the dimensions, WCDMA handsets are slightly inferior. By the middle of 2004, its weight and dimension are higher by 15% and 30% respectively than EV-DO handsets. Nevertheless, the gaps between this two handset models are increasingly narrowed, and it is predicted that the weight gap would be narrowed by 5%, and the dimension gap would shrink by 6% for the second half year of 2004.

As for the talk time and standby time, the gaps between this two handset models are also increasingly narrowed following the launch of FOMA 900i serial handsets, and the pace for this narrowing would surpass that of narrowing the gaps of weight and dimensions. It is predicted that this two handset models would reach the same level in terms of talk time for the second half year of 2004. But in terms of standby time, WCDMA handses had overtaken the EV-Do handsets for the first half year.

As for the screen resolution, the perfomance of WCDMA handsets is higher than EV-Do handsets. The former had taken the resolution level of 240×320 as the mainstay simply for the first half year of 2004, with the elimination of the level of 128×160, and the latter still took the level of 128×160 and 176×220 as the main resolution.

As for the screen color depth, the performance of EV-DO handsets is higher than WCDMA handsets. 4096-color had been phased out with the former simply for the first half year of 2004, and 65K color almost died out for the first half year of 2004, by contrast, the latter only got rid of 4096-color when entering into the second half year of 2003, and still was taking 65K-color and 260K-color as the mainstay for the first half year of 2004.

As for camera format, the tendency for CCD camera to become the mainstay for WCDMA handsets is very obvious due to more FOMA handset models with CCD comera launched from Japanese vandors in the first half year of 2004. Also, more and more EV-DO handsets have been using CCD camera, therefore, the difference between this two handsets is not big in terms of the uptake of camera format.

As for camera resolution, the two cameras almost adopt the same level of it, namely, higher resolution. But, in consideration of the present situation, WCDMA will go further, and there already have some commercial handset models with 2M pixels camera launched. But for EV-DO, there are only commercial handsets with 1M pixels launched. Surely, it may help1M pixels be widely used earlier in the new EV-DO handsets.

As for memory, the average memory of EV-DO handsets is larger that that of WCDMA handset. Calculated on the commercial handset modes with known memory, the average memory for EV-DO is 88.6MB，while the memory for WCDMA handset is only 21.5MB. Nevertheless, the WCDMA handsets generally have extension slots, such as MMC, SD etc., while the EV-DO handsets don't have such slots.

In addition, due to that there is no any Video Phone Services launched from the current EV-DO operators and that the main WCDMA operators, such as NTT DoCoMo, Hutchison, all provide this service, there are far more WCDMA handset models supporting Video Phone Services than that of EV-DO handset models in the same category. Currently, there are only two new EV-DO handset models launched from sumong, while there are about 30 WCDMA handsets supporting this service.
