Qualcomm opens new factory in Vietnam to expand 5G chipset production


The strained relationship between the US and China has led some of the major tech giants like Qualcomm to look for new contingency plans.


The deployment of 5G technology worldwide has made chip makers intensify production further to ensure that smartphone manufacturers will have enough hardware to meet the continually growing demand. Focusing on being able to cope with this constant demand. Qualcomm has announced that it is opening a factory in Vietnam to maintain the production of the Snapdragon processors.

California-based silicon giant Qualcomm, like many American companies, was also caught in the middle of a trade war between the US and China. Some companies that have their production activities in China started to look for alternative ways. Qualcomm has decided to build its new 5G factory in Vietnam. The new factory will be used primarily for R&D and production purposes.

The new Qualcomm 5G production plant will be located in Hanoi, Vietnam. The factory, which will have 3 different sub-facilities, will help develop Qualcomm’s new cellular technologies. The new Qualcomm Vietnam factory will work on front radio chips and new image detection technologies specifically designed for smartphones. The first of the 3 sub-facilities is the radio frequency laboratory. The second is to test power consumption and performance metrics. The third facility will work to adjust image sensors and measure their quality.

VinSmart, one of the company’s partners in Vietnam, has partnered with Qualcomm and Fujitsu to produce 5G technology smartphones in Vietnam. Qualcomm, especially hopeful about 5G modems, aims to use its own modems in smartphones of many brands such as Apple. TSMC is also planning to start 5 nm production in the near future. One of the customers of the 5 nm chips will likely be Qualcomm.

The company said, “As a leading company in wireless technology, Qualcomm has worked closely with Vietnam’s mobile ecosystem for many years, as evidenced by the establishment of the first office in Hanoi in 2003 and later in Ho Chi Minh City in 2014. For a long time, Qualcomm’s cooperation with mobile network operators in Vietnam and original equipment manufacturers has supported the development of products and 2G, 3G, 4G services, and soon it is 5G.”

Qualcomm is going bankrupt soon. This is a parasitic companies that earns more from licensing patent than making SOC.

In the time of 5G, Huawei holds the most patent.

Qualcomm is going chapter 11 soon when everyone goes for 5G.

Unlike Qualcomm, Huawei is not that greedy to skim on patent.

Nice. We could be the new tech center of Asia

Yes Qualcomm has a bright future with us. Viettel, Bkav, Vmart, VNPT, Mobifone, Gtel Mobile. More promising telecom companies are coming. A big market for Qualcomm.

Qualcomm should suggest US Govt to ban chips, Android to all CN phones Xiaomi, Vivo etc not only Huawei.

Lets erase all CN spyware phones in the market

Nonsense
Qualcomm share runs good.

I would buy Huawei share but can’t
Huawei still has the big market share in China. Outside China, Huawei has no future.

Superpower China does not need Qualcomm. China only needs China.

You go Qualcomm Singapore and see for yourself -- almost 90% from India, despite Singaporeans are more qualified.

And you go Qualcomm San Diego, around 50% Indians.

This is a hopeless company that will die soon. The company value/mission/vision are evangelizing racism and casteism.

(FYI I work in signal processing and RF microwave)

Why’s bad?
Apple, Cisco, HP, Microsoft, you name it.
Those companies are not doomed yet.
You must work harder.
If lazy you are overtaken.
Blame yourself.

True, Cnese dont nid jobs from Qualcomm, they can go back to their hometowns and work hard in pig farms like Xi working so hard in Mao's pig farm and still can become CN leader
