Set of micro-network news, Qualcomm's financial results for the third quarter of the 2018 fiscal year, Qualcomm Technology authorized Group (QTL) third-quarter revenue of 1.465 billion U.S. dollars, a 25% increase in the same period. According to foreign media reports, the third quarter of Qualcomm's QTL income included a smartphone manufacturer accidentally paid 500 million dollars royalties, and the smartphone maker and Qualcomm have a patent dispute.
