Huawei's R&D investment is higher than that of Apple and Samsung, but its efficiency is lower than that of its rivals
For some time now, the agency has been announcing the R&D investments of the top 10 companies in the world in 2022.
As you can see in the chart below, they are Google, Target, Microsoft, Huawei, Apple, Samsung, Volkswagen, Intel, Roche, and Johnson & Johnson.
Among them, Huawei is the highest-ranked Chinese company, surpassing Apple, and can be called the flagship of Chinese technology companies.
This ranking has also caused heated discussions among netizens. Some people say that Huawei is the best, and it spends a lot of money on research and development every year, which is why Huawei has so many technological advances, from 5G to mobile phones, chips, systems, cars, etc.
Some people also complained about Xiaomi, saying that Xiaomi's R&D investment is too low, and it can't even enter the top ten, and it wants to become the top three in global mobile phone sales, maybe it's all fake.
At the same time, because of this ranking, it has triggered a discussion about R&D efficiency. Some people say that R&D investment is not the more the better, in the end it depends on the results, only by investing less money, and then achieving exciting results, is the real ability.
Xiaomi's R&D investment is very low, and the R&D investment is not even 10% of Huawei's, but Xiaomi has mobile phones, cars, chips, and various smart ecological products, which doesn't mean that Xiaomi's R&D efficiency is very high
Some people also say that Xiaomi may not like to discuss, so let's talk about Apple and Samsung.
As the world's largest technology company by market capitalization, Apple's industrial product matrix is very strong, with mobile phones, tablets, watches, Macs, AirPods, etc., and all systems are self-developed, and the chips are all self-developed.
Apple's R&D and innovation, Apple's achievements, will not be worse than Huawei, but Apple's R&D investment is lower than Huawei's, which does not mean that Apple's R&D efficiency is much higher
Samsung, the world's largest mobile phone company, has its own chips, mobile phones, 5G baseband and memory, wafer foundry, etc., the business scope is wider than Huawei, the income is higher than Huawei, and Samsung's R&D investment is also lower than Huawei, which doesn't mean that Samsung's R&D efficiency is much higher than Huawei's
Some people say that we don't have to worry about the level of R&D investment, the important thing is to look at the results, if the investment is low, the results are more, it is indeed very good, if the investment is high, the results are less, it is a waste of money.
What do you think?I think Huawei's high investment is worthy of respect, and at the same time, there are more achievements, which is worthy of admiration, but in fact, there is no need to say that the research and development is high, what do you think?
