As an older mobile phone manufacturer in China, after nearly ten years of development, Huawei is now in a situation unparalleled in the country. Looking at the world, although there is some gap with Apple and Samsung, it is currently the only mobile phone manufacturer in China that can be compared with it.
In terms of shipment volume alone, Xiaomi can rival Huawei. However, as a company that has only been established for 6 years, Xiaomi's patent reserves are difficult to compare with, let alone Huawei, even OPPO, let alone Yulong Coolpad and ZTE, which are 20 years old among Chinese mobile phone manufacturers.
In the mobile phone industry, patents are a fatal factor. Xiaomi's insufficient reserves have hindered the brand's globalization so far. But Huawei is different.
Huawei holds a large number of patents, and also has the killer feature of HiSilicon chips, which has achieved independent research and development from the vitality of mobile phones. This is something that Xiaomi and other manufacturers do not have.
In the previous era of the four giants of the Chinese Cool Alliance, ZTE, Lenovo Coolpad could be compared with Huawei, and even Lenovo and Coolpad could even be better. But then Coolpad transformed, and Lenovo suffered from indigestion after eating Motorola. ZTE killed itself because of its management. It directly provided the foundation for Huawei's subsequent take-off.
At the same time, it can also be determined from the perspective of comprehensive strength. Huawei is unrivaled in China today.
