Qualcomm-Samsung axis brings 5G to the masses as Huawei struggles

QUALCOMM Inc promised on Friday to bring 5G mobile phones to the masses with a high-end modem and said its chips would also power midprice devices hitting the market next year.
Fifth-generation chipsets from Qualcomm, the world's biggest supplier of mobile phone chips, now run on five devices from Samsung Electronics, including the $1,299 Galaxy S10 5G model and the new $2,000 Galaxy Fold.
Samsung, the world's top smartphone seller, has also put Qualcomm chips in its lower-priced A90 5G model, which had used Samsung chips in an earlier version.
Qualcomm President Cristiano Amon predicted such devices would achieve volume and scale.
"The transition to 5G is going to be faster than earlier transitions," Amon told Reuters on the sidelines of the 1FA consumer electronics fair in Berlin. "Now we have to bring it to everyone."
More than 20 network operators and a similar number of smartphone makers -from the United States to Europe to China - are launching 5G services and handsets. Amon estimated there were 2.2 billion mobile users that could upgrade.
Such bullishness contrasts with the challenges faced by China's Huawei
Technologies, the No.2 smartphone seller behind Samsung that also unveiled its 5G chipset at IFA.
Huawei's consumer business chief Richard Yu touted the Kirin 990 chipset at IFA as the "most powerful" and superior to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 series.
Due to US trade sanctions, Huawei's 5G-ready Mate 30 smartphone range to be launched on Sept. 19 could be hobbled because it won't be able to run the official version of Google's Android operating system and app services.
Until now, Qualcomm typically supplied 5G chips from its most expensive line, Snapdragon 8, which on Friday was showcased with a more powerful X55 5G modem delivering speeds of up to 7 gigabits per second.
It now plans to add 5G capabilities to lower-cost Snapdragon 6 and 7 series devices, which could make 5G phones available more cheaply than the current mostly premium models.
Qualcomm's 6 and 7 series Snapdragon chips are found in devices from Lenovo Group Ltd's Motorola, Xiaomi Corp, Oppo and Vivo that retail in the $300 range.
Analysts say faster 5G networks will spur many consumers to upgrade their phones after years of market stagnation, although 5G devices are coming to some markets before networks are completed.
