Broadcom into the smart phone market aimed at entry-level product processor

The recent mobile phone market is the processor, the CPU chip has been used in a number of samsung (the Po) in smart phones. Broadcom CEO Scott mike Greg (Scott McGregor) said, intelligent mobile phone has become a broadcom of an important business.
Dabbling in smart phones processor
When mainstream mobile phone manufacturer rolls out high-end phones, they usually that used the mobile phone, Nvidia or qualcomm Texas instruments (the Po) chip. However, these are not the only chip in cell phones. Samsung and huawei have their own chip products, Intel is also in development related technology. And broadcom also focus on the development of this field.
Earlier, broadcom main production bluetooth, WiFi and other communications chip. In the past few months, the company has started to market in the processor, and broadcom chip integrated application processor and baseband processor.
Mike Greg last week, in an interview, said: "smart phones has become one of the most important broadcom business." He declined to give any more details. But jpmorgan chase recently in a report estimates that the baseband and broadcom application processor has been used in the third of the smart phone samsung.
Jpmorgan chase said, use broadcom chip smartphone including Galaxy Y, Galaxy Mini and Galaxy Ace, etc. These cell phones quarterly sales of about 12 million to 13 million units, which is equivalent to $500 million a year revenue.
In addition, in the smartphone and tablet computers use the WiFi, bluetooth and GPS chip market, broadcom has about 70% of the share. According to the information taken apart IHS iSuppli, new iPad also use broadcom chip. Jpmorgan chase analyst in the report says: "the next few years, broadcom will become mobile phone market of semiconductor/one of the main manufacturers."
Aimed at entry-level products
Wedge Partners analyst Brian Blair (Brian Blair), says that in the last month by mobile world congress in Barcelona (MWC) of observation, he think broadcom has a good prospect. He said: "we had thought, the next 10 years, the most important is the low end of the trend will smartphone. Surprisingly, entry-level products has become very good, and the reason is the one of the YuBo."
Blair said, some without subsidies for $150 smart phone has the low end of two years ago to realize the function of high-end smartphones. These cell phones usually by 1 GHz processor, in addition, it also includes baseband and other communication, and power management chips, and these functions are integrated in the price of $20 to 22 bo TongXin slices.
Before, broadcom aim at end of the market. But mike Greg says, broadcom this year will enter the high-end equipment market. He said: "we will cover the entire market." He admitted that, in the application processor and high-end modem areas, such as application of equipment in 4 G chips, broadcom to chase other manufacturers.
Mike Greg also said, Android system is rapid development, but other operating system there is still a certain development space, especially when you consider that Microsoft (the Po) has forced several mobile phone manufacturer for Android mobile payment is a patent license fee.
He said: "one of the challenges facing the Android is Microsoft is targeting all mobile phone manufacturer, request the dinner party 'KaiPingFei'. I think that this is the mobile phone industry facing an interesting challenge."

For 2009 years of hard experience, in 2010, the company ushered in the integration of rapid growth. Then he believe, if 2010 years of growth can be sustained, 2011 years of growth will be very natural thing to do.
Stmicroelectronics in 2011 whole year the results showed that the stmicroelectronics 2011 net income of $9.73 billion, with $2010 in 10.35 billion reduced by 5.9%. From the industry distribution to see, stmicroelectronics five big businesses, the telecom 27%, car 17%, consumer electronics accounted for 10%, the computer is occupied 14%, industry accounted for 9%, and another 23% from distribution channels.
To this, JiHengHua explained, "although the market downturn in 2011, but our own business or appeared growth. Stmicroelectronics wholly owned business net income growth of about 1%."
And from regional contribution to see, JiHengHua are responsible for greater China and South Asia area contributed to a 62% income, and another 14% of revenue from America, 24% of the revenue from the European market.
However, JiHengHua think 62% share of not limit, "the 62% does not mean that in the market we have in saturated state. Although said China, India and other countries the GDP growth rate will have lower, but remains generally continues to grow."
ST-Ericsson will publish profit plan
Careful research stmicroelectronics 2011 years of earnings and revenue decline is one of the reasons by ST-Ericsson company of the losses incurred. A source says since February 2009 was founded, ST-Ericsson has losses of $2 billion.
As Ericsson (the Po) and stmicroelectronics, the joint venture company of ST-Ericsson, also appeared last week by other company takeover rumours.
"ST-Ericsson's new CEO di del • pull moche (Didier Lamouche) last December 1, took office just, at the end of the month, he will be released before the profit plan. ST Ericsson strategic things should be to ST-EricssonCEO speaking, I cannot make evaluation". JiHengHua said.
For China's three nets fusion progress not surprised also not disappointed
The CCBN exhibition, stmicroelectronics brought Newman TV system first products, so as to layout intelligent TV market.
JiHengHua revealed that code for Newman Ultra products in the first quarter of this year FLI7680 will provide test samples, the fourth quarter volume production can be realized.
In STB field, stmicroelectronics will also launched the latest in China the set-top box SoC series products.
JiHengHua said, "is currently in the set-top box field, stmicroelectronics products in the world, China ranked second first. According to the state administration of radio, predicted that the satellite live TV (DTH) set-top box installed number will reach 200 million units, the next two years the market and television market, set-top boxes of our business in China, Taiwan can continue to expand."
How to see China's three nets fusion progress?
JiHengHua think, "three nets fusion progress depends on the speed of the deployment, while deployed to consider a country speed or society to deploy solutions how fast the absorption of how high."
"Fifteen years ago have many engineers speak digital TV, but now just saw the development of digital TV. For China's three nets fusion progress, we should say is not surprised also don't disappointed. I believe, three to five years three nets fusion progress will be very significant." JiHengHua said.
At present stmicroelectronics in about 50000 employees worldwide, there are 12 manufacturing base, in 10 countries have research and development center, about 12000 people to do research and development, research and development in 2011 accounted for about 24%.

Nokia CEO: don't worry about $one thousand smartphone

2012 for nokia (the Po) certainly is extremely important for a year, after fiscal year 2011 for three quarters of huge losses, after his last year with Microsoft (the Po) alliance builds of "help weapon"-Lumia series intelligent cellphone finally will be launched in the market overall counterattack. But as the world's most important in nokia regional market, China market more is the strategic counter-offensive essential part of. Therefore, last week, nokia CEO Stephen YiLuoPu fought Shanghai, chengdu, guangzhou, domestic more important cities, for employees in China morale, but also provide a sides, March 28, Windows Phone platform based on the nokia smart phones will be formal debut in China.
"Acceleration" deal with one thousand yuan smartphone challenge
"From last year we announced strategic transformation and a collaboration with Microsoft, the company has changed a lot, especially the schedule is continually fsater." In accepting the southern daily reporter interview, YiLuoPu the truth for nokia current transformation is very satisfied with the speed. According to this, decided to use Windows Phone in the system platform, the company has released last year not only advocate hit the middle and high-end of the Lumia 800, 900, the flagship product, also releasing the 710, 610, the low price of products, "product layout is perfect." And this is in the Chinese market for its comprehensive send force ready in advance.
In talking about why related products in mainland China market time to market than other countries and areas to evening many, YiLuoPu said the main is waiting to work in the field of application localization, "for the first time is released, so the preparatory work more, but subsequent product can do and international synchronized......." And for the current domestic market one thousand yuan Android smartphone has blossom everywhere situation, YiLuoPu said the not too worried about: "on the one hand, we Lumia series of will accelerate the whole price range, and constantly introduce low-cost products, on the other hand we against the cell phone also enhance Symbian system of intelligent function, to cope with the demand of the market."
Keep attention but are not involved in tablet computer
The YiLuoPu said that the future constantly strengthen and Microsoft's strategic cooperation will be the direction of nokia insist, "not only for Microsoft Windows platform is of great significance for nokia, so, too, in the future, so we will be based on the Windows platform based on continuously introducing their own technology." According to its revealed that in the future Windows Phone products, nokia will be introduced gradually in MWC after release on taking pictures PureView intelligence technology, in order to bring better consumer smart Phone video experience.
For the present in the Android smartphone increasingly fierce competition of multi-core processors, YiLuoPu but cautious support attitude. In his view, the dual-core even four nuclear although will give smart phones bring more powerful performance, but greatly reduce the cell phone of standby time, "this, to a certain extent influence the user experience, and pursue the best user experience is what we should do." For the same reasons, for the prosperity of bright red tablet computer market, YiLuoPu also said nokia will temporarily keep attention attitude, but its also said that, if partners in flat computers Microsoft big screen terminal equipment operating system have significant breakthrough of words, nokia may also can have the action.

The New iPhone released in September this year

According to Japanese technology blog Macotakara revealed that the new iPhone in iPhone 4 S will release a year later release that this year in September or October release. And according to domestic analysts say, iPhone 4 S will be shipped in the April half reduction, for the new iPhone that way. The web site CNET March 10, KanWen says, new iPad also suggested that the new iPhone technical index.
The September sixth generation iPhone release
"The new iPhone in June, the fastest out slow also on August out." A few days ago, domestic electronics industry analysts say so. But from another industry analysts news, iPhone 4 S supplier April shipments will decline in half, and apparently the new iPhone will out. Previously, according to people familiar with the Japanese media Macotakara quoted, saying that the next generation iPhone is expected to apple in September or October appeared for the first time, the release of the iPhone 4 S distance probably time for 1 year. In the autumn released new products are not apple iPhone the traditional approach, it before a few years mostly in June or July release new iPhone products. But in last year's global developers conference have not been issued on the new iPhone.
New iPhone borrow new iPad technology
CNET reporter donoghue DE Bell (Donald Bell) argues that, only by the New iPad upgrade, apple can increase in tablet computer chips in the market competition. Through the apple iPad to new improvement, the outside world can guess to the next generation iPhone possible change.
First is the screen, and the new iPad QXGA screen resolution 2048 x1536 support. This is an important improvement and the resolution of the new iPad than the current market condition all tablet computer and a notebook. If the size of the next generation iPhone apple increased to 4 inches, also will be ascension screen resolution. And the new iPad, new iPhone may also keep appearance design unchanged. Despite rumours suggest, the size of the next generation iPhone will be more thin, or the appearance of tears, but not probable.
IPad to 4 G technology support show that future iPhone would support a technology. LTE technology can provide faster data transmission speed. Apple technical support of LTE late is not surprising, because apple want to ensure that new technology can bring the expected user experience.

Four nuclear mobile phone manufacturer adventure: the high cost of market demand not urgent

In PC field, there is a famous Moore's law, common explanation is computer chip performance every 18 months will double, evidence of Moore's prospective. Moore's law in the PC industry to gallop after forty years, seems to be on the cellphone again punches. In this year's global mobile communications conference (MWC), each big brand mobile phone manufacturer haste to release the new products, new products and the first key words is one of the four nuclear.
And some analysts view, the "nuclear arms race" come some early, the cell phone battery technology has not yet breakthrough, power consumption is a big problem fatal weakness, in the mobile phone applications, and there are no four nuclear to support.
News background
Magging issues.it four nuclear mobile phones
Four nuclear cell phone camp including huawei, zte, HTC, LG, etc. Huawei launched Ascend D quad mobile phone, launch Android 4.0 operating system, USES is independent design haisi huawei four processors. LG Optimus by 4 X HD, zte Era, HTC's One X are using the company's Tegra3 NVIDIA four processors.
Four nuclear mobile phone no doubt have become the MWC conference window, but also become the focus of dispute. Although belong to four nuclear camp, but this several manufacturers but not harmonious, huawei and LG have said their new product is the world's first four nuclear andros mobile phones. MWC during the exhibition, huawei terminals chairman YuChengDong (the Po) is still in the Po to another enterprise "not naming names criticism", says "the enterprise four smart phone and no nuclear development mature."
And the other not push four nuclear product manufacturers is to LG, HTC and manufacturers launched four nuclear smartphone show his disdain and calm, Microsoft (the Po) Windows Phone departments of the truth: "four nuclear mobile Phone competition is ridiculous, not was necessary completely. Like digital camera pixel war that, mobile Phone manufacturer is only playing with Numbers game." Microsoft's the personage says, nokia (the Po) Lumia 800 etc Windows Phone mobile phones don't need four nuclear processor can quickly running applications. In addition to Microsoft, SONY mobile departments also say four processors is not suitable for smart phones.
The battery into the biggest obstacles
Smart phone replace function machine is an inevitable trend, people use contentedly smartphone, but found a little regret can't make up for, and that is the power consumption smartphone is too big, mobile phone standby time is short, to meet the needs of sustainable use.
Smart phones have great power consumption, and four processors running on the basis of complex applications will speed up power consumption. "The battery is still no breakthrough, most mononuclear cell phone is usually restricted to 1 ~ 2 day, if is four nuclear, if the battery problem is solved, so only half a day. Even if the processor mature, but the battery is still a global problem." The horizon research consultancy group senior telecom analyst CengTao said. And, now users buy mobile phone not only pay attention to performance, also pay more attention to appearance, frivolous become main melody. This creates conflict, manufacturers how to put greater capacity of the battery and more low energy consumption system into the fine thin body, this is a huge challenge.
SONY mobile department at MWC Stephen Sneeden during congress said it is not suitable for push four main factor lies in nuclear cell phone battery, "SONY in the next year in the cellphone won't before four processors. When we feel performance and efficiency of the cells, we will match to join the ranks of the four nuclear mobile phone. Because now we don't think this is the match."
A cool person told reporters that they may be in the second half of this year launched four nuclear mobile phone, "but before that, must will solve the problem of power."
Four nuclear too luxury?
PC processors have stepped into the nuclear age 16, but the overwhelming majority of users are still dual-core, because they feel dual-core computers have satisfied the demand of himself, of course, if 16 nuclear computer and dual-core computer as cheap that nature is another story. His computer is still dual-core, cell phone that four nuclear, what is it? Isn't it too luxury?
Luxury is on one hand on the selling price, CengTao estimates, four nuclear mobile phone price will not less than 3000 yuan, "for high-end brand of four nuclear mobile phone, price can be as much as four or." In addition to the class user, won't have too many customers to choose four nuclear mobile phone, especially in the smartphone has greatly reduced the threshold of today, even though these entry-level smartphone, now of the configuration has also upgraded substantially.
More extravagant point is that at present most intelligent mobile phone applications are still not make full use of the processor core bring function. Dual-core, and even mobile phones to meet people demand in single-core still and ease, four nuclear mobile phone and not so necessary to appear. "I don't know now what mobile phone applications need four nuclear to deal with, can't come up with it. Just like PC, now of people mainstream application does not need so high processor", CengTao said.
More than foreign industry comes to put forward, four nuclear cellular phone now seem to be some redundant. And Tegra3 launched four processors NVIDIA company responded that the Tegra 3 four processors only in application to call to start the four processor core. The rest of the time is a low power consumption of the kernel in operation. But this and bring another problem, if in the most time need only a kernel, why not stick mononuclear or dual-core processor?
"Nuclear war" another attempt to?
The processor, operating system, display screen, the program, battery... Mobile phone industry chain in all aspects, as long as one place there short board, will not give customers with better user experience, oneself also is to have a as.
CengTao said, now manufacturers in treating the four nuclear cell phone into two groups: the conservative and extremism. Conservatives such as Microsoft, SONY, they hope to relevant industrial chain can coordinated development, especially the battery this short board can get "extended", such as basic mature industry chain again after using four nuclear technology. Radical hope that through the four nuclear this quite can attract the attention of the public new technology as a killer, in global market competition to get the upper hand, and even take a risk for this. "But if mass to the market, because the battery standby problems by the consumers, this to the manufacturer for collective as is a risk."
These manufacturers launched four nuclear cell phone in addition factors, may be to counter strong apple. Apple iPhone success was not relying on top of the hardware configuration, but the hardware, the system, the software 3 person perfect together. But iPhone 4 S is already dual-core, so some cell phone manufacturers hope rob in the next generation of apple products before release, in hardware configuration and the gap between the open apple, and on the market in a larger slice of the cake.

Huawei expansion to expand the design team in high-end smartphone market

Huawei is expand the size of the design team, and hope in the fierce competition and growth in the rest of the global smart cellphone market to raise their status.
Huawei chief cell phone designer Hagen · Finn DE le (Hagen Fendler) said the company plans to release later this year in a series of high-end smartphone, in order to the field a bigger share of race. "We hope in the future five years as the three big intelligent mobile phone manufacturer. In order to achieve this, we must expand product line." He recently interviewed.
According to the market research firm Strategy Analytics data, huawei last year in the fourth quarter, global smartphone market share for 4%, make it become the global sixth largest intelligence cell phone manufacturers. Strategy Analytics executive director Neil's premier (Neil Mawston) said: "with the expansion of the channel and product line, its rankings are creeping up."
But want to challenge the first global ranking of apples, and samsung (the Po) and nokia (the Po) of old giant, huawei will still face great challenges. After three companies market share in the fourth quarter of last year were 23.9%, 23.5% and 12.6%.
Huawei's design team at present in China, the us, Japan and Europe has about 300 employees. Finn DE le says, huawei will increase employee, but did not give specific recruitment plan. "This is a very open, very international team, many foreign designers and local designers." Finn DE le said. He also added, huawei's in Sweden, Britain and Finland recruitment designers.
Focus on high-end smartphone market will become an important strategic huawei transformation. The company was originally a low-cost telecommunications equipment suppliers, later expanded to the terminal business areas, at first supply data card, and then to ODM (original design manufacturer) identity for mobile phone operators. Since last year, huawei began to promote their own brands mobile terminal, including smart cellphones and tablet computer. Huawei revenue in the first half of 2011 to 15.2 billion dollars.
Huawei mobile world congress in Barcelona last month (MWC) introduced a Ascend D Quad high-end smartphone, the Google Android operating system, equipped with 4.5 inch hd touch screen, with high speed processors, and has all the hd video shooting function. Finn DE le says, this phone is expected to be listed in the second half of this year.
But he declined to disclose this product pricing and specific time of issue. Generally speaking, in the pricing of high-end phones between $300 to $500, the low end of the mobile phone is about 100 to 200 dollars.
In August of 2010, before joining huawei, Finn DE le had been an international Design company VanBerlo Strategy + Design CEO, and led the Siemens (the Po) product concept department. "Attract me to join China so that we want to make change, directly to consumers, and make their own brand." He said, "the important change is for our company to realize high quality growth, which means that we must serve the different consumers, launched in high-end products."
For in China, in high-end smartphone into market is not easy. Samsung, LG and HTC and strong Asian rivals have established years of brand advantage, especially in the U.S. market, huawei would apple competition. Strategy Analytics data show that the apple last year global mobile phone shipments for 93 million department, a 2010 years to achieve double.
Apple is still trying to develop the Chinese market. "Now just foray into cellphone market five years, apple in 2012 is expected to more than 100 million, according to the ministry, China will be the apple of the key market this year." Strategy Analytics director Tom Kang (Tom Kang) said.
Finn DE le also admitted that want to challenge apple is not easy, but he says, huawei will devote oneself to to make the independent brand. He also revealed, huawei will continue and Google cooperation, the production Android mobile phones. "Design and brand is the most important to the consumer, all things to learn to apple." He said.

Mobile phone no longer fortress scenery
Mobile phone market in the stronghold and blindly price war, constantly malignant competition, to sacrifice the quality for the price. Now, with the popular smart phone, the low end of the fortress mobile phone has lost market, many people have turned to apple mobile phone accessories market.
In the qiang north 1.45 square km range, with electronic professional market and home, market operation area of 460000 square meters, electronic product operation businessman nearly 3, the annual turnover of more than 370 yuan. Traffic here every day about 500000 passengers, is our country and even the Asian largest electronic information products distribution center.
In October 2008, China electronic chamber of commerce has been investigated review, agree to grant qiang north "China electronic first street" title. However, mention qiang north, I'm afraid they originally thought is all kinds of cheap, style emerge in endlessly fortress electronic products. And the most brilliant and out of the country, "made in shenzhen" fortress mobile phones.
Shenzhen the rise of mobile phone fortress, its most important impetus is Taiwan LianFa division (micro Po) company came out with mobile chip solutions. By the end of 2003, LianFa secco mobile phone chips output of goods, this kind of been the industry called "Turn Key" (turnkey) of low-cost chip solutions, will chip, software platform and third party applications software bound together, will camera, MP3, video, touch screen a variety of functions such as integrated in all mobile phone chips on top. Use the scheme manufacturers, as long as add a battery and the shell to produce mobile phones. Since then, the mobile phone to sell like hot cakes for copy objects fortress mobile phone, have mushroomed.
Mobile phone because of low cost fortress, neither need access detection, also do not need to pay tax, the price is only about 30% of mobile phone card-carrying. Fortress mobile phone in design and also extremely rich imagination, can be made into a car model, also can make it a toy, by the young love of consumers.
Qiang electronics industry research institute director, China semiconductor use union deputy secretary-general pan nine hall told reporters, shenzhen's mobile phone manufacturing market from around 2004 began to grow, and development is very fast, it also promote the domestic handset consumer the rapid development of the market, in the 2007 to 2008 years to a climax.
"The general market will follow such a rule, when a product market coverage reached about 5%, that this is a geek market; when covering 5% to 20%, the high-end market; and the crowd 20% to 50%, and that is that ordinary people can consumer market." Pan nine hall said.
He pointed out that, but when the rate is above 50%, is a very mature stable market, the stage of new users will be little market, most people are beginning to change planes. The domestic mobile market from 2003 in 2007 to in will belong to 20% and 50% of stage, very prosperous fortress mobile phone, just like a frenzy swept across China, the earth.
Latin America and the foreign market, is from 2007 in 2011 to in, from 20% to 50% of the rapid transition market coverage, especially in India, the market for represent, so a few years this mobile phone market very fortress export boom. Although there is a financial crisis, but export still hot, is to catch up with the increase in mobile phone penetration rate and Latin American market such a good chance.
In 2011, many emerging market mobile phone coverage has reached about 50%, such as India market. This time, their market also is increasing, but new users have cut deep into the market to give priority to change planes, the quality of the attention of more than the focus on prices, and three or four years ago China similar.
So, media outlets reported last year, fortress cellphone market in shenzhen as a one year, is the collective evacuated qiang north. Shenzhen mobile phone is at an end to the stronghold.
