1. Technology and R&D ability, Xiaomi flatters.
Among the necessary patents of the global 5G standard, Huawei accounts for 20%, which is the highest among all companies. In 2020, Huawei's R&D expenditure will reach US$ 654.38+0.5 billion, ranking fifth in the world. Among Huawei's global194,000 employees, R&D personnel account for105,000, accounting for 49% of the total number. Xiaomi has about 20,000 employees worldwide and nearly 1 1,000 R&D personnel.
Huawei's R&D covers digital and intelligent fields such as 5G, HarmonyOS system, Huawei Cloud, and autonomous driving, and it is not at the same level as mobile phone hardware and application development.
2. There are differences in social influence between Huawei and Xiaomi.
As a new network technology, 5G can not only provide powerful network mobility and capacity, but also determine a country's economic competitiveness and military strength together with other technologies such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Huawei's 5G technology provides a safe and powerful guarantee for future basic communication.
Huawei's system and ecology based on chip, HarmonyOS system and Huawei's cloud computing is not only a response to get rid of the US rogue sanctions, but also the foundation of future intelligent ecology based on computing.
3. Huawei and Xiaomi have obvious differences in positioning.
For Xiaomi, mobile phone shipments are the primary goal, and more optimized assembly and higher cost performance are all for better sales. The author believes that Xiaomi is not a research and development company, nor an internet company, but more of a mobile phone sales company.
Huawei's positioning is more based on its own core technology to build an intelligent ecology and intelligent society. A mobile phone is just a terminal. For Huawei, there is still a long way to go to solve the chip problem and realize the interconnection and integration of HarmonyOS system and Huawei cloud computing, but once it is realized, it will be completely transformed. Whether Huawei is facing difficulties or not, the rise of China needs more enterprises like Huawei, and only those enterprises with independent core technologies can develop continuously for a long time.
