And Apple is about to release its first 5G mobile phone iPhone 12. So recently, some netizens said that Huawei's 5G is so strong, does it mean that Huawei's 5G mobile phone will be more powerful than iPhone 12' s 5G function? Is it necessary to buy iPhone 12?
Of course, it is hard to say whether it is necessary to buy iPhone 12. It depends on everyone's needs. But regarding whether Huawei's 5G mobile phone will be more powerful than Apple's 5G mobile phone, this can be said.
First of all, we need to know what a 5G mobile phone is, which refers to a smart phone that supports 5G networks. So how do smartphones support 5G networks? The most important thing is to have a 5G baseband chip.
Huawei's 5G baseband chip is independently developed, typically Ba Long 5000, and then built into the Soc of mobile phones, such as Kirin 990 5G and Kirin 9000 to be released soon.
Apple iPhone 12 supports 5G because iPhone 12 has built-in Qualcomm's 5G baseband X55 and supports 5G, so iPhone 12 also supports 5G.
So we see that the 5G of the mobile phone is not strong. The key is this baseband chip. Compared with Huawei's 5G function, iPhone 12 actually compares Huawei's 5G baseband with Qualcomm X55.
So Huawei's 5G baseband is better than Qualcomm's X55? It should be said that Qualcomm, as the most comprehensive mobile phone Soc manufacturer in the world, has always performed well in baseband chips, not to mention how much better than Huawei, at least not weaker than Huawei, and its strength is equivalent.
So to be fair, put aside other configurations, appearance, cost performance, face value and so on. Huawei's 5G mobile phone may not be better than iPhone 12 if it is only about 5G performance.
Huawei's 5G ranks first in the world, which does not mean that Huawei's 5G chips rank first in the world, mainly in communication standards and 5G base station technology. Therefore, there is no clear answer to who is strong and who is weak in 5G mobile phones, nor is it evaluated by the number of patents and the shipment of 5G base stations.
