Mediatek Dethrones Qualcomm To Become World’s Biggest Smartphone Chipset Vendor by joshmannert: 10:54pm On Mar 31, 2021 |
Qualcomm seems to have been dethroned as the number one smartphone chip supplier in the world, now that last year's numbers have come out. According to an Omdia report (noted by DigiTimes), MediaTek—a Taiwanese fabless semiconductor company—managed to ship out 351.8 million units during the whole of 2020, overtaking the king of Snapdragon for the first time ever. Qualcomm, on the other hand, had a bit of a rougher year. Following Huawei's ban from the U.S. in 2019 (which forced Qualcomm to stop selling to them), MediaTek stepped in to help the disgraced company. Huawei's own HiSilicon chip initially helped it get a huge headstart in China, and after that in-house chip suffered due to tightening restrictions from the Trump administration, MediaTek picked up the loose ends. After Huawei beat both Apple and Samsung by selling more smartphones than any other manufacturer in Q2 2020, Qualcomm was largely edged out of China. The latter's stocks suffered somewhat in December following a report that Apple could begin manufacturing its own modem chips for its iPhones, ending reliance on Qualcomm (Apple is already building the chip design center). We already knew MediaTek was on the path to success when it launched its new 5G modem—the M80—this February, with blazing peak speeds of 7.67Gbps downlink and 3.76Gbps uplink, keeping Qualcomm on its toes. MediaTek's chips have been seriously increasing in popularity with low- and mid-tier phones over the years, and have grown to include the Samsung A-series (as of 2019), Nokia, Oppo, Xiaomi, ZTE, Realme, and Motorola models. Xiaomi was MediaTek's biggest customer last year, ordering 63.7 million units, with Oppo coming in second with 55.3 million. Samsung, however, has the biggest year-over-year growth in MediaTek, increasing its purchases 254.5% year-over-year for a total of 43.3 million shipments last year. https://sites.google.com/view/love-academy-mod-apk-2021 https://sites.google.com/view/lustfulshoresmodapk2021 https://sites.google.com/view/pocketwaifumodapk2021 https://sites.google.com/view/k-pop-idol-producer-mod-apk https://sites.google.com/view/leagueofstickmanmodapk2021 https://sites.google.com/view/zooba-mod-apk-2021 https://sites.google.com/view/idlearksmodapkunlimited2021 https://sites.google.com/view/citytakeovermodapkunlimited https://sites.google.com/view/heroesstrikemodapkunlimited https://sites.google.com/view/tanksalotmodapkunlimited2021 1 Like |

If not for Mediatek, some phones would have been out of the reach of most Nigerians. Qualcomm chipsets are very expensive and that is what account for the high cost of Samsung, Nokia, LG and others. Tecno, infinix, itel, Xiaomi and so many others are big customers of Mediatek and Africa provides a big market for these phones. 6 Likes |

There is a huge difference between cheap and affordable. TECNO phones are affordable because the price is moderate and also the quality is intact too. |
