It is nothing new for domestic mobile phones to go overseas in recent years. Not to mention the far-flung TCL, Transsion and others, the recent manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo and so on have already made their own world overseas.

In addition to impacting the high-end market that has been dominated by Apple for many years, domestic manufacturers have begun to use the “sea of ​​machines” tactics to erode a lot of Samsung’s low-end market share.

For example, Xiaomi has launched a thousand-yuan “Poco C40” mobile phone overseas in the past two days. It is equipped with a 6.71-inch HD+ resolution IPS LCD screen, uses a 13MP main camera, supports 18W fast charging and a 6000mAh large battery.

Poco is an independent sub-brand launched by Xiaomi for the Southeast Asian market. It released its first mobile phone in 2018. Although most of them are fine-tuned versions of domestic mobile phones, they seem to have developed well in recent years.

In fact, the key point is that it is equipped with a 4G smartphone chip called “JR510”.

What corner is this thing coming out of?

Tony understands that the source of this SoC is neither Qualcomm nor MediaTek, but another domestic chip manufacturer: JLQ Technology.

According to the official introduction, the JR510 chip has four 2.0GHz performance cores and four 1.5GHz performance cores, using the ARM architecture. It is said that in terms of performance on paper, it is about the same as the MediaTek Helio G35.

The overall use of Samsung’s 11nm FinFET process, it is between 14nm and 10nm, mainly through the latter to reduce the chip area. how to say? According to Samsung, this thing has a 15% increase in performance compared to 14nm with the same number of transistors, and a 10% reduction in power consumption.

JR510 also supports AI HDR, dual-microphone noise reduction, recording 1080P 60-frame video, and H.265 / H.264 codec at 1080P resolution, as well as 16-megapixel + 16-megapixel dual-camera and 50-megapixel single-camera shooting .

Tony probably glanced at it, this thing is a little better than the Redmi 10A chip (MediaTek Helio G25) that sells for 600 yuan online. . . The 1000 or so machines on Jingdong have already used the 6nm Snapdragon 680.

Sure enough, there is really no “roll” in the domestic mobile phone market overseas. Ha~

Don’t think that the chips made by others are of average level, and think that this is another “cottage” company.

In fact, Lingsheng Technology is really well-known in the entire chip industry. . . And simply talking about its background, to be honest, few domestic technology companies can compare with it.

Of course, a strong background doesn’t mean that you can’t open high and go low, right?

Back in the summer of 2017, four companies, Qualcomm, Datang Telecom (Leadchip Technology), Zhilu Capital, and Beijing Jianguang Assets with a state-owned background, jointly signed an agreement to establish a joint venture.

At that time, the company was also called “Lingsheng Technology (Guizhou) Co., Ltd.”, and its goal was to enter the smartphone chip industry, which caused an uproar in the domestic semiconductor industry at that time.

The super-powerful shareholder team has brought nearly 3 billion yuan of investment, of which Qualcomm holds about 24%, and the remaining domestic capital, including Datang Telecom, holds about 76%.

In fact, in the semiconductor industry, international cooperation has been very common, but it still caused a lot of controversy at that time.

Speaking of this, we can’t help but mention the current mobile phone chip “leading” MediaTek and another well-known domestic low-end SoC manufacturer, Ziguang Zhanrui (or Spreadtrum in 2017).

At that time, Fage did not have the momentum it has now. In the eyes of consumers, he was still the main player of “copycat” chips. Spreadtrum is also close to the low-end market, and it has not even merged with RDA. . . As for RDA, most of the PHS we used many years ago used their chips.

Therefore, people have been looking forward to a relatively big breakthrough and development in the domestic chip semiconductor industry.

Take MediaTek as an example, if it wants to embark on the road of high-end technology and release high-end smartphone chips, the first mountain it faces is Qualcomm.

Under the circumstances at that time, the domestic low-end mobile phone market, because of the sudden announcement of the establishment of Lingsheng Technology, directly caused a situation of “front and rear attack”.

Although it is said that this is controlled by domestic capital, Qualcomm is only a joint venture company of the second largest shareholder, but because of the presence of Qualcomm, some people believe that it is the opposite side of the sea.

At that time, some forums were full of questions about the company, and it was even said that even the big bosses of Ziguang Group came down in person to compete for the high ground of public opinion.

Even if you block out a lot of “incompatible” questions, this stuff will make Tony stare blankly. . .

Guys, “Semiconductor Trojan War”, right? For a while, I didn’t know how to evaluate whether these people had a pattern.

In short, Lingsheng Technology was identified as Qualcomm’s “encirclement and suppression” of the domestic mobile phone chip business at that time.

They spent a year in this kind of controversy and abuse, and it was not officially established until the state passed the joint venture in early May 2018.

Although Lingsheng Technology has gone through several financings later, no other foreign-funded companies except Qualcomm have participated in it.

In September 2021, Leadcore Technology publicly listed and transferred part of Lingsheng’s equity, and Xiaomi’s Yangtze River Industrial Fund successfully invested. . . Datang Telecom’s shareholding ratio has also been reduced to 17%.

Soon after, Gekewei, also a well-known domestic image sensor chip design company, established the “Jianguang Guanghui (Chengdu) Equity Investment Management Center” through cooperation with several companies such as Jianguang Assets.

And completed a new round of investment in Lingsheng Technology within 6 months, and obtained about 7% of the equity.

So far, the shareholders of Lingsheng Technology have officially appeared.

But over the years, they have not made a breakthrough in the domestic mobile phone chip market as people expected, and other manufacturers who have been pressured by technological advantages cannot breathe.

For example, in 2020, Lingsheng Technology will finally say “release” the chip, which once again attracted the attention of many people. It turned out that they just took out an AloT chip for smart security, smart home, and the visual field: JA310.

I have all the knives in my hand, will you show me this?

What about focusing on smart chips designed and sold in China for low-end mobile phones? Is it because Qualcomm does not allow it, or is Datang Telecom incapable?

After that, Lingsheng Technology gradually disappeared from the sight of ordinary consumers, and now the official website information introduction has long since become a composite technology enterprise including the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and mobile phone chips.

It was not until the second chip under the banner was finally used for mobile phones that it returned to the attention of manufacturers.

And MediaTek and Ziguang Zhanrui did not fail as those people imagined. The former should be known to everyone, and the Dimensity 9000 was directly thrown in the face of Qualcomm, while the latter has become the fifth largest chip supplier in the world.

It seems that each has a good momentum of development.

As for Lingsheng Technology, as for the big guys behind him, Tony really doesn’t believe it if you say that he has no technical strength. I would rather believe that they do not want to go head-to-head with Qualcomm and MediaTek, the leaders in the 5G mobile phone chip market.

As far as the JR510 chip is concerned, Xiaomi is mainly promoting it in Southeast Asia.

Compared with countries and regions such as Europe and China that have begun to fully cover the 5G network standard, such as Africa, Southeast Asia and other less developed places, 3/4G is still the mainstream.

There is no domestic market for this stuff, but not necessarily overseas!

Of course, Tony is not advocating this kind of behavior that seems to use low-end goods to “pit” overseas. After all, netizens in Southeast Asia are not stupid. . . They are also clear about the positioning of this phone and chip.

Just from the current situation, Lingsheng Technology currently does not have any very influential high-end chips, and in the low-end mobile phone chip market, they should not be the opponents of UNISOC in a short time.

Lingsheng seems to have a lot of momentum, but this is just the beginning. Avoiding its edge before a sufficient product matrix is ​​formed, it is indeed a way to look overseas to find another way.

The tree moves the dead and the living moves, just look at the sound transmission and you will know~

Of course, if we can do better and better, let domestic smartphone chips become another “MediaTek”, which is also something Tony likes to see!
