Zhang Huang once said: "Qualcomm's integrated chips have poor multimedia performance, while Samsung's chips have fully considered our functional requirements in the early stage of design, and Samsung's CPU is not the kind with high frequency and low energy." . There are also Qualcomm baseband chips and processor packages, which belong to a complete set of solutions, and the cost is much higher than that of Samsung. The price compromise of Meizu mobile phone means giving up Qualcomm's plan and choosing the latter instead. But Meizu will also turn to Qualcomm this year, because the patent problem between them has been solved.
Samsung's CPU is even stronger than Qualcomm's, but Samsung seldom uses its own CPU, which is in sharp contrast with Huawei. Huawei's CPU is relatively backward, so it still doesn't buy high-end CPU from Qualcomm, and fully supports its own CPU. Why doesn't Samsung support its own CPU? In fact, Samsung's Exynos processor is different from Huawei and Apple, mainly because Samsung's mobile phone and semiconductor are two relatively independent departments. A CPU is designed for semiconductor, but it may not be satisfactory to deliver it to the mobile phone.
In addition, for the complicated Samsung mobile phone department, there are many factors to consider, especially considering the global differentiated market. No matter how strong the home processor is, it is impossible to have no restrictions on mobile phones (such as baseband). Therefore, in order to cope with the global market, a combination method is adopted, that is, one part uses its own chips and the other part uses Qualcomm's chips.
