The U.S. media admitted that Huawei's ** Kirin 5G mobile phones are all domestically produced, and the dust has settled.
Some time ago, Huawei Mate60 was officially launched without any press conference and without any warm-up, but this Huawei's latest flagship mobile phone still attracted widespread attention at home and abroad, not only many domestic consumers began to rush to buy Mate60, but even many foreign consumers would rather increase the price to buy a Mate60.
It is precisely because of the emergence of the Mate60 that Apple sold the iPhone 15 mobile phone in advance in the case of an emergency reduction of 10 million units of the iPhone 15 mobile phone. Apples"Avoid edges"The decision once again proves the strength and market influence of the mate60.
The Mate60 not only has excellent camera capabilities and Kunlun glass that is ten times more resistant to falls, but it is also the world's first smartphone to realize satellite calling. You know, a few years ago, Apple broke the news that it wanted to implement satellite calling on mobile phones, but it was not favored by the public.
The United States eventually admitted this as well.
Since Huawei did not hold a press conference, nor did it release the Mate60 equipped with Kirin 9000 chips, the Mate60 also does not have a standard for communication signals. Therefore, the outside world has not been able to judge what the Kirin 9000S chip process is, and whether the Mate60 is a 5G mobile phone or a 4G mobile phone.
However, after a series of disassembly tests on Huawei Mate60 in the United States and Western countries and tests by some domestic enthusiasts, there is still no information to guess. First of all, the United States believes that the Kirin 9000S chip is an advanced chip with performance close to or up to the 7nm process produced by Chinese manufacturers. Second, domestic industry insiders found that after testing the speed of Mate60, the network speed of Mate60 exceeded that of most 5G mobile phones on the market.
From these two points, it is not difficult to see that Mate60 is likely to be a 5G mobile phone that uses advanced chips from domestic chip manufacturers. This speculation has also made many consumers excited about another breakthrough for Huawei. However, the United States has been trying to find possible content in the Mate60"American technology"parts.
The U.S. measures are not only aimed at cracking down on domestic consumers' perception of Huawei's information and Mate60, but also to be able to take advantage of these possible ones"Contains U.S. technology"A new round of export controls will be imposed on Huawei.
But after two months of investigation, the United States finally reluctantly admitted: all Kirin 5G mobile phones using Huawei chips are made in China. In fact, before Huawei's internal information broke, the Mate60 had a domestic production rate of more than 90%, which did not contain any components produced using American technology.
It's just that the United States has always been reluctant to believe this fact, and now the United States has finally seen the reality and has no choice but to admit that Mate60 is a domestic 5G mobile phone.
Qualcomm began to struggle.
Huawei's Kirin chips showed strong performance and excellent performance as early as 2019, and once became the top chip on a par with Qualcomm Snapdragon chips and Apple's A-series chips, among which the Kirin 9000 chip is the world's first 5G chip using 5nm process technology.
It's just that in order to curb the core development of China and Huawei, the United States has not only revised the chip rules many times, introduced a chip ban, but also included Huawei in it, and included 1,200 Chinese entities in the entity list. Huawei's Kirin chips have also been cut off from TSMC's foundry services, which means that Kirin chips have been unable to produce for a long time, and Qualcomm has taken the opportunity to ship tens of millions of 4G chips to Huawei every year, making a lot of money.
Now, with the strong return of Huawei's Kirin chips, Qualcomm, which once made Huawei a lot of money, is about to start to have a hard time. Some time ago, Huawei officially announced the end of the acquisition of Qualcomm chips, judging from the news released by Huawei, Huawei's mobile phone shipments are expected to increase from as low as 40 million units to more than 50 million units next year.
This also means that Qualcomm will not only completely lose Huawei's revenue, but also reduce chip shipments by about 60 million next year, which is undoubtedly bad news for Qualcomm's original life. In this regard, many foreign media have said: Qualcomm's life has begun to be difficult.
Now, with the strong return of Kirin chips, not only Qualcomm's chip shipments will be seriously affected, but the influence of its Snapdragon chips in the market will also be further weakened.
Huawei Mate60 has been identified as a domestic 5G mobile phone, which means that Huawei has basically opened up the domestic ** chain.
