Recently Google dumped Qualcomm Inc QCOM to build its smartphone processor Google Tensor, to power its new Pixel 6 phones. Interestingly, Samsung just announced a $151 billion spending on advanced chipmaking.
Only Samsung, Qualcomm, and MediaTek Inc MDTKF can manufacture 5G modems connected to wireless data networks.
Samsung's new modem technology was also capable of millimeter-wave networking.
