Samsung is trying to become a 5G chipset supplier for Chinese OEMs
Samsung has reportedly supplied two of China’s biggest smartphone OEMs with 5G chipsets for testing purposes. Both OPPO and Vivo are said to have received sample units from Samsung, anticipating that Qualcomm and MediaTek alone won’t be able to meet their 5G demands in 2020.
Interestingly, Huawei wasn’t mentioned alongside Qualcomm and MediaTek. This could mean that even Chinese OEMs might be starting to shy away from using the company’s 5G solutions, out of fear of not being able to sell their smartphones overseas. Huawei has been banned by the United States and its reputation took a hit as a result. Meanwhile, Samsung has pounced on the opportunity and continues to win more ground in the 5G race.
In light of this recent report, it’s possible that the Exynos Modem 5100, Exynos RF 5500, and Exynos SM 5800 chips will become more prevalent next year. These solutions could be employed by an increasing number of smartphone manufacturers from China, where Samsung doesn’t have a lot of market influence. Of course, it all depends on what Samsung’s potential clients will determine after testing the company’s 5G solution for themselves.

So sad there’s Nothing about Samsung’s 5G offer in China, which was announced this Week and is so interesting in my opinion
Didn’t Samsung tell apple a few months ago they couldn’t sell them their 5g modem due to lack of production capacity
Those Chinese accompanies mentioned above do not have Apple’s volume.
The should have still made a bid for the iPhone as it’s bigger business even if they are only selling a small percentage
But Apple failed to buy displays panel from Samsung.
It’s the race of who will be the champion of 5g modems right now as they will be the market leader who can control the price. Similar to Samsung and the oled
