Huawei’s chips cannot be found by TSMC, SMIC and other chip foundries, which is undoubtedly a big blow to the Chinese chip industry. However, it has been reported recently that Nokia, the former mobile phone overlord, has launched mobile phones with Chinese chips. It is undoubtedly a great encouragement for the industry.
Huawei is undoubtedly the most outstanding company among Chinese chip companies. It is technologically ahead of other domestic chip companies and is already on a par with Qualcomm, the global leader in mobile phone chips. As a result, Huawei has won countless praises, covering the light of other Chinese chip companies. , In fact, China’s chip industry is blooming, and there are many other excellent chip companies besides Huawei.
Unisplendour Zhanrui is one of the outstanding Chinese chip companies. Among the global independent chip companies, Unisplendour Zhanrui ranks among the top three in the world along with Qualcomm and MediaTek. It can be seen that Unisplendour Zhanrui actually has a certain position in the global market.
For a long time, Ziguang Zhanrui is mainly based on the low-end mobile phone chip market, emphasizing the provision of cost-effective products, facing the international market, and has an advantageous market share in India, Africa and other markets, while few mobile phone companies in the domestic market use its chips. , making it less well-known in the domestic market than Huawei HiSilicon.
According to recent data disclosed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Nokia has a mobile phone called C3 that uses UNISOC’s chip. This mobile phone is positioned in the low-end market and can only be said to be barely sufficient in terms of performance. Its biggest advantage is the price. The price is under 700 yuan.
Nokia and UNISOC have been cooperating for a long time. Many feature phones launched by Nokia in the Indian market all use UNISOC chips. The market occupies 40% of the market share.
Today, Ziguang Zhanrui’s parent company, Ziguang Group, is the most powerful comprehensive chip company in China. In addition to mobile phone chips, it has recently attracted widespread attention for NAND flash chips. Tsinghua Unigroup is the first company in China to put into production NAND flash chips. Currently, it has put into production 64-layer NAND flash chips. It is expected to put into production 128-layer NANA flash chips next year, which will catch up with the level of South Korean memory chip companies.
Since China established the Integrated Circuit Industry Fund in 2014 to support the development of domestic chips, China’s chip industry has entered a stage of rapid growth. Huawei HiSilicon and UNISOC are all outstanding representatives.
With the adoption of Chinese chips by international mobile phone companies such as Nokia, this proves that Chinese chips have strong technical strength before they can be recognized by international mobile phone brands. Chinese chip companies entering the international market and earning income will support the further development and growth of Chinese chips.
