Global shipments of devices including PCs, tablets, and mobile handsets are expected to decline in 2019 but the same doom-and-gloom cannot be said for upcoming 5G smartphones.

According to Gartner, shipment rates will decline by 3.7 percent over the course of this year, with the smartphone industry -- dominated by players including Samsung, Apple, and Huawei -- the hardest hit with a slowdown of 3.2 percent.
On Thursday, the research agency said the durability and longevity of premium handsets is a factor in declining sales rates; notably, today's devices are expected to surpass the two-year mark before a replacement is due.

PCs, too, are on the decline in the same manner as our standard handsets at present, falling 1.5 percent to 255.7 million units in 2019 in comparison to 259.7 million units in 2018.
Gartner expects demand for consumer PCs to drop by 9.8 percent this year, slicing its full share of the total device market to less than 40 percent.
