This is what happens when qualcomm overcharges everyone. They start looking elsewhere.

They will have the same fate as Huawei has if their chips will be very good and strong like the ones on Huawei. Basically that's why Huawei was banned in the first place.

But... if Samsung/Huawei/MediaTek/others want to be recognized and sell better, they are obligated to improve their offerings to be a good option against Qualcomm "monopoly". Because, a simple trademark or "naming" does not mean quality to the customer, in this case, OEMs and customers like you and me. What happen if, for example, One+ decides to use the Kirin 990 or an Exynos 990, or and Dimensity 1000 in a next flagship, it sell better for the SoC used in question? Or sell better that the One+ 8 with SD865? Of course not. Or at least, not this time...

Anonymous, 30 May 2020Explain your concept, Mr. CorrectMonopoly means only one is dominating and others even if they try to compete can not compete at that level in flagship category I agree SD865 is the best but in mid range there are many great options like Mediatek Dimensity series which on specs beat SD765G and there is Kirin 820 too which is better (but it's exclusive to Huawei though) so Mediatek can compete with Qualcomm at mid range level but is unable to

Guess who's going next on the Entity List for ""refusing to add NSA backdoors"" into their chips?

Chewbacca, 29 May 2020They are trying. Look up Google Whitechapel. Yes, but that's a Google custom Exynos SoC. They are supposedly creating that chip in collaboration with Samsung.

Instead making it's own chip, why don't these companies (except Qualcomm) improve the existing Kirin chip, and use that in all Chinese phones. Less money involved and perfecting the almost perfect chip.?

Even though i hate custom chip developments which hurts the custom rom development and gcam ports like in case of Exynos and kirin , i think bigger brands like bbk should definitely work on it (atleast for midrangers) to end the monopoly of Qualcomm
Look at sd865 5g issue

Iwanttobuyanewphone, 28 May 2020I wonder why Google never considered making their own SoCs.... moreHardware requires far more investment,r&d and manpower than software on long-term. Pixel sales numbers aren't that great and Google doesn't have that much intent in sales number too ,thats why they are planning to go with exynos in future instead of developing own one

it might be true that this can be their backup if anything happen in the future...
but my guess is because want to growth more and diverse their business .. if plan success and work... we might see, oneplus and vivo will use the same soc.
for us as customer ... it really good as long as it is on par with other soc.. benchmark does not tell the complete story ... for once, kirin might be slower than sd .. but huawei really optimized it with their own emui to give user a smooth experienced. .
exynos on the hand...hmmm... samsung just lazy.. downside of using 2 different soc for same model for different market.

Nice. Xiaomi should also re-start its own designs. And all them including Huawei do it with RISC-V no more ARM dependency and extra cost. Also never use USA tech related facilities like TSMC. No more trust in foreign tech that due to politic caprices/whims ban you at some point. With Trump as a good example to avoid...
More alternatives = better world.

Sharing and stealing are two different things and you're obfuscating the two. Chinese rules require foreign firms to partner with a local firm and share technology if they want to do business in China. The US have previously agreed to these rules. Now that China has become a technological rival, they suddenly think these rules are bad. So the US are hypocrites.

Iwanttobuyanewphone, 28 May 2020I wonder why Google never considered making their own SoCs.... moreThey are making their own SOC's.....they have to in order to both compete with Apple, and get out from underneath Qualcomms money grabbing monopoly. Their stuff is too good, so
Google needs to up their game in order to compete. I hope they start making their chips in either India, Malaysia, or Vietnam rather than Communist China.
