The news may not be news to anyone who follows the world of mobile phones, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 has been leading the way, but recently the 875 version was announced, which is more beautiful, more colourful, smellier than its predecessor. But a few days ago it was reborn as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. Why? Now we have the answer.
After yesterday's unveiling, Qualcomm today answered many questions about why the SD875, its next processor in line, has been renamed SD888. The reason is somewhat simple, but still has lofty content behind it. The translation of the above statement is as follows (as far as it can be expressed in English):
[The new Qualcomm 888 5G flagship is called: Glory to China to the end] In recent days, Qualcomm has released its new Snapdragon 888 5G processor. Qualcomm China President Meng Pu said that the 888 name is a recognition within Qualcomm of Qualcomm China's achievements and glory to the end.
Analysts have pointed out that 888 is seen as a symbol of the Chinese economy and prosperity, which is certainly in line with expectations of Qualcomm's success. In the context of the United States' ongoing efforts to rein in Huawei, Qualcomm fears that Chinese mobile phone manufacturers will turn to other chip design firms in the face of growing anti-American sentiment.
Meng Pu revealed that Qualcomm has secured export licences for some products, including 4G WiFi, PC, mobile 5G and others. Qualcomm and Huawei will continue to collaborate on products for sale and we hope Huawei will continue to choose Qualcomm as a supplier.
