1 13 10 13, our reporter verified from a number of Huawei insiders that Qualcomm had indeed obtained permission to supply 4G chips to Huawei.
This is good news for Huawei, but it can't actually solve Huawei's big problems. A Huawei insider said that 4G chips are rarely used in the domestic market, and some flat-panel and low-end mobile phones can be used in overseas markets.
So far, only Qualcomm has obtained the license of 4G chips. A related person from MediaTek, another mobile phone chip company, said that there was no news to share.
In an interview with this newspaper on June 2, 65438, Samsung Semiconductor said that Samsung has been actively communicating, but it has not been able to provide chips to Huawei or manufacture chips for Huawei.
Zhou Chen, executive vice president of Ziguang Zhanrui, answered the cooperation with Huawei in an interview with a paper reporter on 10, and said that Zhanrui still emphasized compliance when looking at Huawei's supply. "All our products, agreements and R&D are compliant." Regarding the progress of Zhanrui's application for a license, Zhou Chen said that it was not clear for the time being.
The British "Financial Times" reported a few days ago that Microsoft's application has also been approved recently, and it can continue to authorize Huawei to run the Windows operating system. According to the report, Qualcomm and MediaTek are also very close to obtaining permission.
/kloc-On June 38, 2003, neither Huawei nor Qualcomm officially responded.
Qualcomm has been actively lobbying the US government to release its cooperation with Huawei. Huawei's previous patent fees in Qualcomm were as high as $654.38+08 billion.
On October 4th, US time 165438/kloc-0, Qualcomm said in the financial report of the fourth quarter that he had received the patent fee of/kloc-0.8 billion US dollars paid by Huawei. Cristiano Amon, president of Qualcomm, said at the earnings conference that Huawei has created opportunities to expand the potential market for Qualcomm's mobile chip business (QCT). If you can get permission to sell to Huawei, it will be a completely positive opportunity.
According to public reports, after Huawei was sanctioned by the US in the third round, Huawei's supply chain enterprises successively applied to the US for continued supply licenses, including TSMC, MediaTek, Western Digital, SMIC, Wang Hong, SK Hynix and Samsung.
However, judging from the pace of release in the United States, products unrelated to 5G were released first. Before that, Intel and AMD chips were allowed to continue to supply, and key components such as displays and images were also released. This time, Qualcomm's 4G chip was also released. But there is no good news for 5G mobile phone chips.
