Huawei suspends patent

Xiaomi doesn't have baseband technology, even if it has chips, it should use Qualcomm baseband and pay patent fees. Qualcomm bought a baseband song chip, so whether Xiaomi develops a chip is actually useless. No less than 1 cent will be paid to Qualcomm. (1) Both Apple and Samsung use Qualcomm baseband and pay baseband chips. Apple was the first to stand up against Qualcomm, and took the notice to court, thinking it was a patent hooligan. (2) On the one hand, in order to support its own chip foundry to produce chips for Qualcomm, on the other hand, Samsung also uses Qualcomm's chips to make up for the problem that its chips have no baseband technology. (3) Individual products of Huawei, such as Qualcomm chips used by Maimang, have to pay patent fees. However, most of Huawei's other products use its own Kirin chip, and Qualcomm does not need to pay the fee.

(4) Xiaomi bought Lian Xin and set up a Pinecone Team to design the surging chip. To put it bluntly, he hopes to reduce his dependence on Qualcomm, so that his output will not depend on Qualcomm's face. However, the overseas financing framework agreement of Xiaomi VIE includes Qualcomm's equity participation, and it can also be said that Qualcomm is one of the bosses behind Xiaomi Overseas. In order to get more chips from Qualcomm and increase production, Xiaomi will certainly try to maintain the reputation of Qualcomm chips, and at the same time work for the boss behind it. At present, only a few companies, such as Qualcomm, Huawei, MediaTek and Intel, have baseband technology, and even Apple has difficulty in customer service. Baseband is a standardized code set of network access specification, and the technology behind it is very complicated. If there is no baseband technology, even if there are chips, companies with baseband technology will have to pay.
