The reconciliation between Huawei and Qualcomm caused controversy;
Once the news of the reconciliation between Huawei and Qualcomm was released, it immediately caused controversy on the Internet. Some people accused Huawei of giving up the bottom line under US sanctions, and even compromised with Qualcomm in the United States and paid huge patent fees. For a long time, Huawei may never have a chance to turn over again.
However, some people explained to Huawei that the reason behind the patent settlement between Huawei and Qualcomm is actually very simple, that is, under the sanctions of the United States, Huawei had to find a transitional substitute product, which was actually a compromise made by Huawei to Qualcomm in exchange for the availability of Huawei's equipment and products and chips under the sanctions of the United States, so as to tide over the immediate difficulties and seek development. After all, survival comes first.
