They have mostly full control on customising what they want on their phones with the options that are available on the market. They spent more a lot of money in R&D as well.

No custom cores, no custom GPU. There is only the NPU for the AI buzzword. You can't take seriously a company that claims their processors are unique and miles better than Apple's while they try to justify faking the scores of its processors.

                Please keep your chips to yourselves. Thanks.

                  "they are not treating the HiSilicon Kirin chips as a product but instead as an intellectual property that gives the firm an edge over the competitors"

                  Intellectual property? But they use the same ARM stock cores as Qualcomm, Samsung (without high end M), Mediatek and all those little chinese manufactures.
