Qualcomm puts up a patent umbrella for millet and millet continues to sweep the Indian market

On the day of Lei Jun’s birthday, Xiaomi stepped out of the patent quagmire in India. Qualcomm sent a best birthday gift.

According to PingWest, Xiaomi's Qualcomm SoC equipment can continue to be sold without being affected by the previous sales ban in Delhi's Delhi High Court. Earlier, Delhi High Court announced that Xiaomi violated Ericsson’s patent rights and that all products will be banned from sales in India. It is understood that Xiaomi's equipment sold in India includes low-end models such as the Red Rice 1S. Xiaomi is planning to start selling Red Rice Note and Red Rice Note 4G in India. It plans to start selling Xiaomi Mobile Phone 4 next year and it will be the only one in India. High-end models launched.

According to the information already disclosed, Xiaomi can now pre-pay 100 Indian rupees per device (according to today's Indian rupee against the RMB exchange rate, less than 10 yuan) to sell red rice 1S using Qualcomm SoC. The chip is quad-core 1.6GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400MSM8628, using 4xCortex-A7 core, Adreno 305 GPU.

At the same time, Xiaomi confirmed to PingWest that Red Rice 1S will restart the appointment soon and will be open for purchase next week. At the same time, Redmi Note 4G will be open for purchase before the new calendar year.

In addition, the next hearing date for Ericsson v. Xiaomi’s case was February 5, which was not the same as the previous January 8 media broadcast. This means that Xiaomi can confidently sell equipment using Qualcomm chips within the next two months.

According to reports, several Samsung manufacturers in the Android camp, Samsung and LG, have previously signed a 10-year patent cross-license agreement with Google; Chinese manufacturers Huawei and ZTE hold a large number of communications technology patents in the 3rd and 4G era; Lenovo has already Motorola was acquired, and more than 2,000 patents were inherited based on the information already disclosed. At the same time, it was able to enjoy another 16,000 patents held by Google. At the same time, major companies using Qualcomm chips accepted Qualcomm's patent protection.

In the past, Xiaomi was a rare company in the international market that had no patented arsenal and had not been covered by a patented arsenal. The news of the lifting of the millet's Qualcomm equipment and the Weibo's Weibo last night proved from the side that Qualcomm had already shot. The background is that Xiaomi has grown rapidly and its shipments have increased. This was before surpassing Samsung and becoming an important player in the international smartphone market.

Prior to the ban, Xiaomi’s shipments in the Indian market have climbed to 150,000 a week. It is inferred from the public information that Xiaomi will become the top five smart phone manufacturers in the Indian market in the fourth quarter of this year. In order to delay sales for a week, Xiaomi continued his journey to the Indian market.
