Qualcomm CPU is the first in the industry, why not make your own phone?

Qualcomm has first-class chip technology, why not make your own mobile phone?

That's because their business is already strong enough in this area and they don't need to expand into other areas.

Because there is no technology to make mobile phones, there is no system support.

The CPU is good enough, and there is no need to squeeze into other markets.

Probably because he didn't have the technology to make a mobile phone.

That's because this technology alone is enough to support his business development

It's okay to do what you're good at, there's no need to do everything.

His CPU is relatively strong, but the mobile phone technology is not enough.

Because their main industry is CPU.

Because people don't do much research on this aspect.

Because there is no technology for mobile phone production.

Qualcomm Snapdragon series processors must be familiar to everyone, and we can often see Snapdragon processors at the launch of some mobile phones. The Snapdragon series processors have a high market share and good performance, and they have always been the object of catch-up by major processor manufacturers. So why doesn't such a powerful mobile phone processor manufacturer build a mobile phone itself?

First of all, although Qualcomm has done a good job in processors, it does not mean that it can be equally good in the field of mobile phone manufacturing. You must know that the structure of a mobile phone is not only a processor, but also a screen assembly, camera module, battery module, communication module, system software and so on. Although Qualcomm is no worse than Huawei and Ericsson in the field of communications, he still lacks experience in making mobile phones.

Take a system software as an example, domestic mobile phone manufacturers have done a very good job, such as the feature-rich, highly playable MIUI system, such as the HarmonyOS system that supports super terminals and the Internet of Everything, as well as the stable and smooth Color OS and so on. If Qualcomm wants to build a mobile phone dipole, it must first solve the problem of system ecology, although he can use the native Android system, but everyone knows that the native Android system does not meet the usage habits of domestic consumers. One system software level alone is enough to give Qualcomm programmers a headache.

In addition, in addition to his lack of experience in making mobile phones, another reason is that if he makes his own mobile phones, he will come up with a new brand. Then it will inevitably affect his corporate strategy. If he makes a mobile phone, he will think that the chips supplied to them are not the latest by friends, and if he makes a mobile phone very dismal, he will be questioned that the processor is so good, and how the mobile phone is very bad.

So Qualcomm won't take this risk to smash its own signboard.

In fact, with Qualcomm's technology accumulation and resource integration capabilities, it is not impossible for him to save up one or even many mobile phones, but from a comprehensive and multi-point perspective, the risk of building a mobile phone by himself is too great, and the possibility of failure is higher.

Qualcomm can earn high profits by selling chips and patent fees every year, so why should it spend money on developing mobile phones? Originally, today's smartphone industry is gradually saturated, and it is getting worse and worse. If Qualcomm wants to make mobile phones at this time, it will really be asking for hardship.

Qualcomm doesn't want to compete with its partners.

Qualcomm currently works with many manufacturers, such as handset manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo. If Qualcomm chooses to produce phones at this time, it will compete with phones from other brands and the problems will gradually become more and more numerous. Even if Qualcomm makes a mobile phone, sales will not be very good.

So if Qualcomm does that, it really needs to take a big risk. Therefore, Qualcomm may think that it is better to produce chips. <>

The profits from chips far outweigh the risks associated with making mobile phones.

Today, there are only a few high-end manufacturers in the mobile phone market, and the mid-range and low-end markets are gradually saturated. If Qualcomm enters the mobile phone market at this time, then it is not suitable for him to position himself in the high, medium and low end. Instead of taking risks to make mobile phones, why not sell chips in a down-to-earth manner?

Now Qualcomm makes much more profits every year by selling chips and collecting patent fees than those mobile phone manufacturers. Therefore, Qualcomm will choose to give up manufacturing mobile phones and focus on developing chips. So the chip is everything about smartphones.

To summarize why Qualcomm doesn't make mobile phones.

All in all, Qualcomm is smart in this matter, and it is still able to see the current state of the mobile phone market. Based on the premise of being able to accept the loss of many partners, Qualcomm will not be able to do anything. Qualcomm relies on its own chip patents, making it harder to enter its own world.

After all, today's mobile market can be said to be unavoidable. Domestic brand mobile phone manufacturers already have a set of relatively mature systems and functions, and many domestic first-line manufacturers have gone abroad. How does Qualcomm compete with it when it comes to mobile phones?

In fact, many mobile phone brands have accumulated popularity after years of good reputation, but Qualcomm still knows very little about mobile marketing. <>

Because the quality of the chip is not particularly high, there is a lack of innovation consciousness, and if you want to build a mobile phone, in addition to the chip, you should also have a host, a display, etc., so there is no particularly sufficient labor.

This is because this manufacturer does not have the strength to build its own mobile phones, so it can only produce some chips and obtain corresponding profits in this way.
