Kirin processor is not provided to the outside world, because for Huawei, Kirin is not a business, but a product or technology, which can be used as our competitive advantage with rival smartphone brands. Xu Zhijun, the rotating chairman of Huawei, also said at the Huawei Global Analyst Conference in April, 201018 that Kirin chip is not Huawei's external revenue-generating business, but exists to realize Huawei's hardware differentiation. The company has no plans to sell Kirin chips to the outside world, so vivo phones don't have Kirin processors.
He who gets the core gets the world.
In the mobile phone chip industry, especially in the field of high-performance chips, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Hisilicon, Samsung and Apple are still competing for hegemony, but only Hisilicon and Samsung have the ability to manufacture mobile phone terminals and develop chips at the same time, while Qualcomm and MediaTek only provide solutions without terminals; What's more special is Apple, whose chips are designed independently but commissioned for production, and at the same time, they are entirely for their own use.
Among them, Samsung's Exynos chip is only used by Meizu except its own high-end mobile phone; Over the years, Hisilicon processors have been widely used in Huawei's star models.
