As we all know, Huawei's 5G patent fee is very cheap, up to $2.5, and it will be charged according to the percentage of the price of the mobile phone.
Compared with Qualcomm, Nokia and Ericsson, Huawei's patent fee is the cheapest, especially compared with Qualcomm. I don't know how cheap it is. You know Huawei's 5G patent is the first in the world.
In fact, Huawei's collection of patent fees is really not harmful to mobile phone manufacturers, especially to Apple and Samsung. It is slightly harmful to domestic phones, such as Xiaomi, but it is not very serious.
But behind this little harm, to put it bluntly, it is still very insulting, especially for Apple and Samsung.
Let's talk about the fact that it's not harmful. Last year, Apple sold 26 million mobile phones, and even if it charged $2.5 each (which is actually impossible), it was only over $5 million. For Apple, it was really Mao Mao rain.
The same is true for Samsung. Last year, Samsung sold 267 million mobile phones, even if it was all $2.5, it was only $67 million. For Samsung, it was also Mao Mao rain, not to mention it didn't receive so much. Samsung has many low-end phones, and Samsung's 5G patent is the second in the world, so it won't pay so much.
even for Xiaomi, it doesn't have a great impact. Last year, Xiaomi sold 15 million yuan, and the average price was only around 1 yuan, so it is impossible to receive 2.5 dollars. It is predicted that even if Xiaomi really pays Huawei a 5G patent fee, it will not actually exceed 2 million yuan a year. Last year, Xiaomi's profit is expected to be more than 15 billion yuan, so the harm is really not great.
But it's not harmful, and it's very insulting. Everyone is a smartphone manufacturer, but Huawei can charge you patent fees. Obviously, in this contrast, Huawei's technology will be stronger, and other manufacturers are not as good as Huawei.
Apple and Samsung, in particular, obviously have higher sales than Huawei, and the United States is the backstage, but they still have to pay royalties to Huawei. What is this not an insult?
