Through an announcement from Qualcomm, we learned that the American giant has reached an important agreement with Xiaomi about the use of some patents and about some licenses inherent to the 3G and 4G technology. In particular, with this new agreement, Xiaomi is committed to paying royalties to use all new generation chips for network communications through 3G and 4G technology developed by Qualcomm.
The CEO of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, said he was very happy with the achievement of this agreement:
Xiaomi is proud of to hug and bring innovation with its ownsmartphone through the line Mi. With licenses di Qualcomm we will have an even more important role, bringing even more innovative products to our customers.
Likewise, even the president of Qualcomm, Derek Aberle, is considered satisfied with the agreement:
Qualcomm is currently engaged to get new partners in China, a country that is constantly growing. We are pleased to achieve this new agreement withXiaomi, with whom we will work in close contact, pushing even more towards new borders, driving the progress in the mobile phone sector.
Certainly, that kind of deal throws both sides, as Qualcomm is looking for new partners in China to steal from Mediatek's clutches, while Xiaomi is free to use all the latest technologies developed by Qualcomm in a free way .
