As one of the hard-promoting vendors of 5G networks, Huawei's mobile phones are also secretly preparing various packages, supporting the 5G network's Kirin processor and the world's first true 5G mobile phone, which will be presented in June 2019.
Of course, in addition to preparing these contents, Huawei is still busy preparing for one thing, that is, how to charge for the patents of 5G networks, and they have already stated that they have set a patent fee in the 5G era.
As the first manufacturer to announce 5G patent fees, the details announced by Qualcomm are such that the single-mode 5G mobile phone patent charge is 4%, and the multi-mode 5G mobile phone (including 3G/4G/5G network) patent charge is 5%. The 4,000-yuan 5G mobile phone, after adopting the two different schemes of Qualcomm, all the combined patent fees for the delivery are 160 yuan and 200 yuan.
Huawei has already decided to open patent fees in the 5G era. This is not a good thing for mobile phone manufacturers, because they have 5G patents that are not less than Qualcomm. In some core patents, manufacturers are also unable to get around. Huawei's 5G patent charging standard is quite concerned by the industry. Of course, Huawei also said that it is studying specific charging standards.
According to the latest exposure news, Huawei's 5G patent charging standard will mainly refer to Qualcomm's model, but they will reduce the selling price, and the use process will be simpler. As long as the manufacturer uses Huawei's patent, it is unified. The patent use fee standard, the fee standard is set at 4%, that is, 1000 yuan to pay Huawei patent fee of 4%. So a 5000 yuan 5G mobile phone, Huawei patent charge is 200 yuan.
Of course, at present, this standard has not yet been finalized. However, for Huawei, encouraging manufacturers to use their patents and lowering the charging standards is a dominant core strategy. Therefore, for other mobile phone manufacturers, the cost of mobile phones in the 5G era is intensifying. Inevitable facts.
