Huawei stopped paying patent fees. If Qualcomm doesn't get permission, the patent fee will become a joke.

The most exciting news in the mobile phone market in the first half of the year is that Huawei Hisilicon Kirin is about to sing. Due to various restrictions in the United States, Hayes Kirin cannot find a suitable processing plant in the world. Even if Huawei has mastered the advanced ability to design chips, it doesn't make much sense not to produce them. At that time, many people thought that Huawei's share in the domestic mobile phone market would be hit hard after losing HiSilicon Kirin.

After the news came out, professionals in the industry believed that the cooperation between Huawei and Qualcomm was very good. If Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip can be used, Huawei's share in the domestic mobile phone market will not change much. Recently, however, it was reported that Huawei has suspended the payment of patent compensation to Qualcomm because Qualcomm has not resumed its supply to Huawei.

In fact, when Huawei was ready to pay compensation, Qualcomm had already applied to the US authorities. In addition, many technology giants, such as Intel, have also proposed permission to resume supply to Huawei. But so far, the government has not made any statement on the applications of these enterprises. In the case that Qualcomm can't supply Huawei, the so-called patent fee is probably meaningless, and Huawei will naturally not continue to pay this fee to Qualcomm.

For Huawei now, since Hisilicon Kirin has no other choice, only by cooperating with Qualcomm can Huawei's mobile phone share in the domestic market be maintained. The biggest difference between Huawei and Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo is that Huawei mobile phones are very popular in the high-end machine market. In the high-end machine market, domestic consumers not only recognize HiSilicon Kirin, but also Apple A series and Qualcomm Snapdragon. Although MediaTek has worked hard this year, it still can't change consumers' impression of low-end chips. To some extent, Qualcomm is the best choice for Huawei now, unless Huawei chooses to withdraw from the mobile phone market completely. Under the pressure of many parties, it is still very possible for Qualcomm to get permission from the authorities.
