Why can MediaTek and Kirin use telecom cards but Orion can't?
On the patent issue, Qualcomm's patent accumulation in telecommunications is terrible, which is stronger than Samsung's selling mobile phones and buying Qualcomm's CPU. Meizu doesn't need Qualcomm, so Qualcomm won't allow him to use telecommunications. Kirin can be said to be a typical example of coming from behind. This change began with Kirin 960. Before 960, Kirin chip was really weak, but after 960 appeared, it could compete with the flagship chips of Qualcomm and Samsung. He is superior in the balance of power consumption, especially the strong signal, but everyone knows that his short board is GPU, so the game performance of Huawei mobile phone is criticized by players. There is a famous joke in MediaTek industry called "One nuclear disaster and nine nuclear onlookers" and another joke called "Qualcomm proudly told MTK that you will always be a prince until I die". This is why people call MediaTek the mud that can't help the wall, but he also has his advantages, that is, endurance and power consumption. However, none of the brands caught in the barrel of MediaTek's family have made great achievements, such as Meizu, which may also be the main reason why Meizu switched to Qualcomm. The main reason why MediaTek and Kirin can use telecommunications but Orion can't is the patent issue.
