Russian experts are amazed: Chinese smartphones are no longer "Made in the USA"!
Chip competition: China is fighting against the whole world!
On August 29, a Russian media outlet published an expert article.
China is not just an assembly factory; it has long been an independent technological power.
What is a smartphone? It's more than just a shell and a screen.
It is a complex integration, whose foundation is the chip.
For many years, China was called the "World Factory," where products developed by other countries were assembled.
Unfortunately, this situation has become entrenched in the consciousness of many Russians, but reality has already changed.
Chinese companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi are no longer just purchasing components.
They are actively investing in their own research and development.
For example, Huawei has been developing its own processors, Kirin, for many years.
In the chip competition, China is fighting against the entire world.
The most important thing is not only to know the chips, but also to know their production equipment.
In this area, until recently, Dutch companies have dominated.
But China has not stood by idly.
It is investing billions of dollars to develop its semiconductor industry.
Although there is still a gap in the most advanced technology (such as 3nm), Chinese companies such as SMIC are confidently mastering technologies such as 7nm and 14nm that are still applicable.
This is just the beginning.
So, the next time someone claims that Chinese smartphones only have Chinese names, bravely refute them.
Chinese electronics are no longer just labels.
It is a vast and rapidly developing ecosystem that challenges traditional market leaders and builds its own technological future.
By the way, China is on par with the rest of the world, but not including Russia, which currently only dreams of its own smartphones.
