Although there are many smartphone manufacturers and OEMs, there are only a handful of application processor and baseband (AP/BB) vendors serving the entire market. AP/BB vendors include manufacturers such as MediaTek, Qualcomm, and Samsung, as well as Chinese companies Huawei, HiSilicon, and Unisoc, and these companies alone account for half of the global market share. However, Huawei and other Chinese companies have been caught up in the trade war between the United States and China, and are subject to strict export controls on the latest technology from the US government.

Companies like MediaTek, Qualcomm, and Samsung not only manufacture chipsets, but also design modems, RF (antennas), and offer complete platforms based on AP/BB chipsets. Huawei's Mate 60 Pro has succeeded in developing RF that rivals these companies, so it could create competition in the RF market dominated by companies such as Avago, Broadcom, Murata, Qorvo, Qualcomm, and Skyworks, TechInsights said. pointed out.



TechInsights said, ``Continued analysis of the Mate 60 Pro once again reveals that Chinese companies are successfully circumventing U.S. export controls and developing superior technology. This advancement is unique to SoCs. 'This also applies to 5G processors and mobile RF technologies.'

China is developing advanced (2D) system-in-package (SiP) modules and RF filters by making full use of improved acoustic wave filter technology and hybrid technology based on thin-film integrated passive devices (IPD) and low-temperature fired ceramics (LTCC). However, TechInsights points out that they are making significant progress.

Also, TechInsights says, ``The Mate 60 Pro shows that China is closing the technology gap with Western competitors, but it cannot be said that it will be completely closed even by 2023. 'Given the Chinese government's focus on reducing dependence on Western technology, we can expect this gap to continue to narrow.'

The Mate 60 Pro is packed with technology that TechInsights praises, but Yu Chendong, head of Huawei's consumer division, said, ``Huawei is launching a disruptive product that could rewrite industry history in 2024. 'We will release it,' he said. Chendong also said that there are plans to release native apps and products based on Huawei's HarmonyOS. In addition, Mr. Chendong seems to want to ask more app developers to develop apps for HarmonyOS, but Android apps will not be supported in the next version of the OS. The developer preview version of the next version of HarmonyOS will be released in the first quarter of 2024.
