Integrate baseband into soc, make 4-in 1 (Bluetooth, wifi, gps, fm) and 5-in 1 wireless chips, and integrate audio into power management chip. It takes a lot of skill. The space of the mobile phone is so large, the integration takes up less space, more batteries can be put, and the heat dissipation is more effective. Mobile phone manufacturers can also reduce research and development costs.
Take mx3 and mx4 as examples. Mx4 has 800 mA more battery power than mx3, but the area is not much larger. Judging from the cloth board, mx3 is a double-sided pcb board, and mx4 is probably a single-sided PCB board. Not only the thickness is reduced, but also the heat dissipation is obviously improved. Due to the adoption of the whole scheme, a lot of money can be paid a year to seize the market, and the signal is also very secure.
Why Meizu didn't adopt the Qualcomm Plan. It may be due to patent fees, or it may be unable to become the preferred supplier. As we all know, Xiaomi and Qualcomm have a good relationship.
2. Besides, MediaTek and MediaTek feel like a tragedy. In the 2g era, the relationship between mobile phones and suppliers is relatively stable. Ti and Nokia, motorcycles and falcons. MediaTek was rejected by Nokia, so he had to become an outlaw. In the era of smart phones, MediaTek also had some bad times. Support vivo to engage in hifi music mobile phones (because the sound quality of cpu in Qualcomm was very poor at that time), and vivo became a hit and went to Qualcomm. Xiaomi made Redmi with his cpu, which became an instant hit and ordered tens of millions. Later, Red Rice 2 used Qualcomm cpu, which left MediaTek with a bad reputation of low-end. Huawei Hisilicon's k3v2 has a bad reputation, poor endurance and serious fever. Huawei made a glory 3c with mt6582, with excellent power control and good sales. As a result, the 4g version of Glory 3c was replaced by HiSilicon's processor, and now power consumption has become the selling point of Huawei's mobile phone. MediaTek just made others red and left himself a pile of shit.
So I think the cooperation between Meizu and MediaTek still has a lot to watch. Meizu can solve the problem of heating signal and provide a stable supply of goods. MediaTek will not be a tool for others to use. Xiaomi couldn't get the best cpu in Qualcomm for the first time. The best things in Qualcomm must be supplied to Samsung and htc first. No one will ruin their reputation by giving their good things to Xiaomi for futures. This is probably the most dangerous thing for Xiaomi now.
