Where are the domestic mobile phones that Apple and Samsung can't match?

Since the beginning of this year, domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei and Meizu have successively launched flagship models of more than 3,000 yuan, frequently launching fierce attacks on the high-end mobile phone market controlled by Samsung and Apple. But at present, Samsung still firmly controls the high-end market, especially the flagship models S6Edge and iPhone6S, and it is difficult to find competitors in the domestic market. So we can't help but ask, where is the gap between domestic mobile phones and Samsung Apple? After winning the low-end market, why can't domestic mobile phone manufacturers boycott Samsung Apple in the high-end market? Donglou believes that there are mainly the following reasons:

First of all, by contrast, most domestic mobile phone manufacturers have accumulated too little patented technology and mastered less core technology. According to the Korean media's previous report in June 20 15, Samsung has the largest number of patents related to smart phones in the world, in addition to the largest number of patents related to semiconductors and flash memory. In just 20 13 years, Samsung Electronics applied for 2 179 patents related to smart phones, 1362 patents related to semiconductors and 245 patents related to storage.

At the same time, Samsung's biggest competitor, Apple, has a large number of smart phone patents, but the number of patents applied for is less than one third of Samsung's. However, the number of patents in the field of smart phones still reaches 647. Compared with domestic mobile phone manufacturers, only Huawei can compete with Samsung Apple in the number of patents in recent years, while other domestic mobile phone manufacturers, including Xiaomi and Meizu, are relatively backward in patent applications.

In fact, it is these massive patented technologies that make Samsung form a high enough product barrier in the high-end market. For example, Samsung S6Edge obtained a patent for hyperbolic screen technology. If domestic mobile phone manufacturers want to apply this technology again, they can only buy it from Samsung, which will greatly increase the production cost of domestic mobile phone manufacturers. At the same time, if the patent is not authorized, they will directly introduce hyperbola. Face-screen mobile phones are likely to become defendants and face the crisis of huge compensation. In the process of domestic mobile phone manufacturers entering overseas markets, the lack of patents has made mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi suffer from lawsuits and become the elbow for many domestic mobile phone manufacturers to enter the high-end market. Domestic mobile phone manufacturers need to increase R&D investment if they want to make up patent courses.
