Which manufacturer's processor chips dominate the smartphone market? If your answer is Qualcomm your answer is wrong. Instead according to Counterpoint Research report, the real answer is MediaTek which holds 32% in Q1 2023.
In second place are Qualcomm (28%), Apple (26%), Unisoc (8%), Samsung (4%) and HiSilicon (under 1%). The interesting thing here is that Apple managed to jump the market share from only 14% in Q1 2022 to 26% in Q1 2023. HiSilicon and Samsung continue to plummet due to the lack of devices that use their chips,
It is quite strange to see that HiSilicon and Samsung have smaller holdings than Unisoc. There is still demand for entry-level chips and this allows Unisoc to have a bigger stake.
