              I think people nowadays have become wise and practical when it comes to cellphone stuff.
              They stick to whatever phone they have until it wears off due to the inflation rate that everyone in the world feels.

                with smartphone sales declining on a whole, it makes sense that chipmakers and parts makers are affected too..

                  cause yes, that will happen very soon, Kirin came late, if they launch it 1 or 2 months after Snapdragon i belive they have plenty of time to work on it and make it better, but...is not the case, Kirin is so out when it came to date to spec reated than my fear of buying a Huawei phone is really that: you buy today and tomorrow you have better options, but is more close than tomorrow so you feel like an idi*t spending, wasting money on a SoC that have been outperformed so soon.

                        shipments are decreasing because we feel nothing new that makes us waste more money on a new smartphone ... I have a lg g5 no perfect but it has all that I need on a phone .. if some one ask me no need of a change in following years

                          -"4.6% after the 13.9% gain in Q3 " This means Q4 still higher than Q2. So the market isn't shrinking. It is just normal high in Q3.

                            i did not feel the current ai is something essential, useful or practical. something hyped for some time. something more practical is to get the google search more efficient and capable.
