In China, the market share of Samsung mobile phones is less than 1%, but in the global market, the sales of Samsung mobile phones are still good. However, in the mobile phone industry, the profitability of Samsung and Huawei is still slightly lower than that of Apple. Although Apple's mobile phone business does not have a production line, it mainly relies on the system, and its innovation is weak. Accessories are all branded, and others need to design a processor. However, Apple still occupies an important market share, especially in the high-end market, which is basically unmatched.
In 20 18, Apple's sales dropped sharply, which was also the operation plan of its own luxury goods route and did not get the market response. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, which may be an important reason for Huawei and Samsung to reach a settlement. After all, in the upcoming 4G era, Apple's profits have been far ahead. Today, Apple's system advantages are weakening. In the coming 5G era, the demand of consumers will also change, and all technology companies will return to the same starting line.
For the 5G market, many related companies are accelerating their enterprise layout. Because each enterprise is good at different fields, some enterprises have faster research and development speed, and some enterprises are slightly lacking. It is difficult for any enterprise to develop all products in all directions, so cooperation is inevitable. For enterprises, choosing partners will be more cautious. Samsung and Huawei suspended the lawsuit of intellectual property disputes, and did not explicitly indicate that they would cooperate in the future. However, relatively speaking, the chances of cooperation between the two companies will be greater.
Both Huawei and Samsung have unique advantages, each with its own emphasis. Samsung Group was established earlier than Huawei, and its business covers construction, consumer electronics and various production lines, with a complete industrial chain. The share of Samsung's products in the consumer market is still quite large, with a wide range of products and a far-reaching perspective on the industry. Many original components of mobile phones still rely on Samsung OEM, especially the display screen.
Huawei has always been committed to the development of basic communication in the semiconductor industry, and has high requirements for innovation, so Huawei has accumulated a lot of technologies and become an innovative company. Mainly based on communication equipment, the products include communication base stations, communication operation software, switches, routers and so on. Mobile phone business is a natural trend, which belongs to technology accumulation and grasps market changes. Moreover, Huawei's focus has been on research and development, and its efforts have paid off and achieved many results. Huawei's deeply cultivated Kirin series CPU processors and 5G core patents have increased Huawei's core competitiveness.
In the mobile phone industry chain, Samsung and Huawei belong to the same role and form a competitive relationship. However, under the trend of economic globalization, these two companies can be competitors or technical partners. There is no need for the two companies to remain deadlocked, and they can win together. Now the competition is 5G, and 4G is already out of date. In that case, why is it petty? After all, the two sides grant patents to each other and rely on some of each other's technologies. Win-win cooperation is more conducive to development.
In the science and technology circle, when a patent dispute case is filed, Apple will always be mentioned. After all, the patent cases of Apple and Qualcomm have been emerging one after another. Today, the patent dispute between Apple and Qualcomm has not ended. Qualcomm's core technology is the chip, and the chip is the most important part of electronic products. If the patent dispute between Apple and Qualcomm fails to reach a consensus, then Apple may give up using Qualcomm's 5G technology. In this way, the cooperation between Huawei and Samsung is bound to produce an effect of 1+ 1 greater than 2.
