In the current domestic mobile phone processor market, the pattern is relatively stable. The high-end flagship products use Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, mid-range Volkswagen products use MediaTek Tianji processors, Apple phones use self-developed A-series processors, Huawei phones use HisiQilin processors, and as for counterfeit phones/tablets priced at 100 yuan, other domestically produced low-cost chips are commonly used.http://www.ic-bom.com/

MediaTek ranks first in the sales volume of China‘s smartphone chip market, followed closely by Qualcomm, with these two companies alone accounting for about 70% of the market share of China‘s smartphone chips.

With the gradual development of smartphones towards high-end, high-end processors bear the heavy burden of chip manufacturers vying for the discourse power of the new generation of mobile terminals. Unlike in previous years when Qualcomm played a solo role in the field of high-end smartphone chips, in the past two years, MediaTek‘s underlying technology has become increasingly solid, and its confrontation with Qualcomm in mobile chips has targeted the high-end market.

Not long ago, MediaTek released a new mobile phone SoC chip called "Tianji 9200+". Li Yanji, Deputy General Manager of MediaTek Wireless Communication Business Unit, stated that the "Tianji 9200+" is a "super flagship" positioning that needs to be installed on high-end mobile phones. Currently, three mobile phone manufacturers are planning to adopt MediaTek‘s 9200+mobile platform, namely iQOO, ROG, and Redmi. It is worth noting that the previous generation "Tianji 9200" was just released in November last year.http://www.ic-bom.com/

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 5G chip is widely known. In the past two years, emerging Chinese manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, etc. have been actively investing in 5G, and Qualcomm chips have become a hot spot for these companies. In early 2018, before the global commercialization of 5G, Qualcomm, along with many leading Chinese mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, Lenovo, ZTE, and Wentai, jointly launched the "5G Navigation Plan". At that time, the goal was to see Chinese 5G terminal products in both China and overseas markets during the global commercialization of 5G. It is reported that over half of Xiaomi‘s chips are based on Qualcomm chips.

Not only mobile phone chips, domestic chips are generally difficult to survive, mainly because the industry only provides a small opportunity for iteration. On the one hand, there are already high-performance chips in the market, even with low costs. On the other hand, people lack patience to wait for domestic chip iterations, which directly limits the improvement of China‘s chip design capabilities.

A professor once suggested that for mobile phones sold in our country, the proportion of domestically produced chips must reach 30%. If not, you will be charged a tax. The lower the proportion you use, the heavier the tax I will charge, up to 400%. What is the purpose of his suggestion? The purpose is to cultivate our domestic market, so that our domestic chips can have a market in China.http://www.ic-bom.com/
