Either way, a big reason why Qualcomm dominates the 5G space is Apple's iPhone 12, but that will go away in 2023 when the Cupertino giant will transition to in-house 5G modems. Samsung's share of the mobile chipset market slipped this year to just seven percent, but the company recently started selling its Exynos chips to Chinese ODMs as well as Google, so it won't be long before its market share bounces back. Additionally, the Korean giant is preparing an Exynos 2200 chipset with "Voyager" Radeon graphics, increasing the pressure on Qualcomm even further. MediaTek's strength has traditionally been in the low-end and mid-range segments, but the company has big plans for the high-end arena and is slowly making its way into the lucrative US market. The rumor mill says MediaTek's upcoming Dimensity 2000 chipset will be built on TSMC's 4nm node and will be able to compete with Qualcomm and Samsung's greatest in terms of performance and energy efficiency. If true, we're definitely looking at exciting times ahead.
