So why is the cost and price of mobile phones getting higher and higher now? The main reason is that we all know a company in Qualcomm, whose mobile phone patent fee is very high, about 20% or even 30%, which leads to the very high chip price now. Besides Huawei, many enterprises in China use technology from Qualcomm or other countries, so they come to this monopoly industry.
Another problem is that many materials, especially the current high-end chips, are in serious shortage, the manufacturing cost of chips is also increasing, and the number of chips is also decreasing, so for so many manufacturers who need chips, the price will definitely increase.
Compared with the current price and quality, it is almost the same, because the cost is there, we can't make too many adjustments, but now many mobile phones, especially domestic mobile phones, have a very extreme idea. They often do well in one aspect, but there are not many core technologies, especially Xiaomi Company. Many of their technologies, including charging technology and other screen technologies, are suppliers. Therefore, their R&D cost is not too high. For some things on the chip, they have almost no R&D cost, and they all buy them themselves. Compared with other mobile phone manufacturers, including Apple, Samsung, Huawei, OPPO or vivo, they all have some patented technologies. I think this is a very good point. In terms of core technologies, especially OPPO, they also announced that they will enter the chip industry and will invest in their own regions to create their own new films. So I think this is a very good one.
In fact, every manufacturer has their so-called flagship machine and common machines. Ordinary machines are relatively cheap, which will certainly reduce the quality. Compared with the top materials in Xuan Ji, there is definitely a big difference, but there is almost no difference for many ordinary people, so except for flagship machine, the price and quality may not be proportional, but except for ordinary daily machines or other machines, it is almost normal.
And now the price of mobile phones is rising, and many people can't buy mobile phones, especially because of the epidemic. Many jobs may have been lost. In addition, wages in China have not risen for a long time, and prices have been rising. This has led many people to think that mobile phones are getting higher. In fact, this is normal inflation, which happens every year, but in fact, our wages have not increased. This is a very serious problem, so many enterprises are very concerned. This leads us to think that mobile phones are expensive now, and the quality and price don't match.
