There is a problem, the netizens have different opinions, that is, Huawei can produce its own domestic chips, and products in the international market and competitors are not in a downturn, why not provide several major domestic mobile phone friends, but also let them stand in line at the gate of Qualcomm waiting for dispatch, everywhere subject to others.
In the matter of chips, Ren Zhengfei is a man who has a lot of money and courage. Since 2004, it has invested 400 billion yuan continuously, and it took 10 years to develop its first Haith chip. No matter in terms of time or money, other manufacturers do not have this courage. In the first few years after the chip came out, the quality and price were not competitive, and domestic manufacturers would not buy and use it even if they wanted to. Mainly satisfied that they are not subject to others, play the role of touching the stones across the river.
With Huawei's sustained efforts, it has paid various costs. In the past two years, breakthroughs have been made in the field of chips. The latest Kirin series, regardless of the patent richness and technical performance of the chip, has reached the same level as the world's top chip manufacturers. Let Huawei, at least in the area of cell phone chips, sit on an equal footing with Samsung Apple and Qualcomm, and not be subject to human constraints. However, Huawei does not have the ability to replace Qualcomm in supplying chips to its friends in terms of capacity, cost-effectiveness, versatility, supply chain stability and competition. Even if they are willing to sell, they will not necessarily buy them. Qualcomm is an impossible wall for mobile phone manufacturers all over the world who can't make their own chips.
So, when will Huawei chips be installed on domestic mobile phones? At the end of February, at MWC2019, the president of Qualcomm gave me some inspiration by interviewing reporters. Firstly, for the 5G hot spot, except Huawei, other manufacturers will use Qualcomm's 5G chip to participate in the exhibition. (Apple did not participate in the exhibition.) Second, Huawei MatX carries Huawei's self-developed baseband Baron 5000, which can be compatible with 3G, 4G and 5G networks at the same time, and is optimized very well. Thirdly, Apple once found Huawei to cooperate and applied the Ballon 5000 baseband to the Apple mobile phone, but finally failed to reach an agreement. Fourthly, all exhibitors use Qualcomm's 5G baseband chip X50, but this baseband is not mature compared with Huawei's Baron 5000. It is not compatible with 3G and 4G networks, and X55 with better compatibility will not come out until the end of 2019.
From the comments of the president of Qualcomm, we can easily hear his praise and recognition of rival Huawei. That is to say, in chip technology, especially in 5G chip, Huawei not only reaches the level of competitors, but also occasionally surpasses them. Buyer and seller is a bilateral behavior. Only when Huawei chip surpasses its rivals and accumulates enough advantages, will friendly merchants actively buy and use it. Under what circumstances will Huawei sell? Samsung Apple chips are still reluctant to be exported. Huawei must have achieved technological excellence. It is a business practice to hold the most advanced generation in hand and sell the chips of the previous generation on a par with its rivals. But it needs strength very much.
Therefore, only when Huawei chip research and development achieves the same level as the world's generation of differential advantage, domestic mobile phones will have the opportunity to install Huawei chip, after all, the huge R&D investment needs to be repaid. Generation difference, such a thing three years ago can not think of, three years later can not think of, because Huawei such enterprises can always exceed imagination. I'm sure that day will come soon. What do you think?
