    I’m curious where did they get those numbers. Producing a limited number of chips is one thing, scaling production to tens of millions is another. Especially regarding the lithography machines which China bought before the sanctions from ASML, but can’t buy anymore.

      Not much is known about chinas new 7nm process as thereisnt much documentation on it. Given that mobile chips are smaller. Even if yields are bad, youd still be able to get some chips made due to its small size.

      Last i recall, china was on 14/12nm but the 7nm breakthrough is fairly recent.

      Huawei was definitely the best android manufacturer. Way ahead of Samsung, Google and other Chinese manufacturers.

          Better Hardware and software( Samsung software was very bad before OneUI), great partnerships with Google lead to creation of some of the best android phones with the nexus series. And great Cameras systems at that time.
