By the end of 2021, the number of 5G mobile terminal connections in China will reach 518 million. This is equivalent to an average of 540,000 new mobile phones added to the network every day since the issuance of the 5G license.

In terms of network deployment, as of December 2021, China has built and opened 1.425 million 5G base stations, and it is expected to exceed 2 million by the end of 2022. 5G has become the fastest generation of cellular network technology ever deployed.

With solid network deployment and a strong and complete ecosystem, China has shown the world the enormous power and potential of 5G, which provides an important support capability for digital transformation. At the same time, Chinese mobile phone brands have also shown great strength in the 5G era, and have become the first camp of 5G commercial terminals in the world, becoming a shining "new business card" in China.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. The change of each generation of wireless communication technology means new development opportunities and changes in the industrial structure. As early as a year and a half before the official issuance of 5G licenses in China, many Chinese manufacturers and Qualcomm jointly launched the "5G Pilot Program" to jointly promote the global commercialization of 5G. Statistics show that since the launch of the plan, the global shipments of China's top five smartphone manufacturers have increased by more than 30%, and the popularity and reputation of Chinese mobile phone brands have been further improved.

In 2022, Qualcomm will continue to help Chinese mobile phone manufacturers seize new opportunities in the global market through truly globalized 5G solutions and a comprehensive and rich product portfolio. In early December 2021, Qualcomm released a new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, once again setting a new benchmark for the next generation of flagship mobile terminals, and bringing unprecedented connectivity, imaging, AI, gaming, audio and security experiences to smartphones.

About a month after the platform was released, Xiaomi, realme, iQOO, Honor, OnePlus and other brands have successively launched several new flagship phones, ranging from lightning-fast 5G connections, stunning professional mobile images, to unparalleled end-game level Game experience, the flagship mobile phone equipped with the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform will bring the top mobile experience to global users.

Taking imaging as an example, Snapdragon 8 supports Snapdragon Sight Snapdragon imaging technology, including the first commercial 18-bit triple ISP for mobile devices, which can capture more than 4,000 times the motion of the previous generation platform at an amazing speed of 3.2 billion pixels per second. A wide range of image data, and the first to introduce 8K HDR video shooting in mobile terminals. In addition, through the improvement of the hardware architecture and the optimization of the software, the performance of the 7th generation Qualcomm AI engine supported by the Snapdragon 8 is increased to 4 times that of the previous generation platform. Whether it is AI-enhanced security features or better image features realized with ISP, the Qualcomm AI engine can provide users with a more perfect, smooth and intuitive experience.

According to the "14th Five-Year Plan for National Informatization", the penetration rate of 5G users is expected to reach 56% in 2025; in the new year, the development of China's mobile phone industry is more worth looking forward to, and 5G-related applications will also be in depth and breadth. Further development. It is foreseeable that, relying on the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, smartphones will enter a new era of top mobile technology in 2022; with the joint efforts of the entire industry, the entire wireless communication and intelligent terminal industry will also usher in the greatest development opportunity in history. .
