Since the 5G generation is expected to truly realize intelligent life such as unmanned driving, virtual reality, and the Internet of Things, making efforts towards 5G has become the direction of major manufacturers' efforts. According to the latest reports from foreign media, Qualcomm has recently announced the licensing fee standard for 5G-related patented technologies, which has taken a big step towards the commercialization of 5G.

It is understood that Qualcomm's 5G patent licensing fee will be fixed in proportion to the equipment price. The patent licensing rate for single-mode 5G mobile phones is 2.275%, and the patent licensing rate for multi-mode 5G phones is 3.25%. In other words, according to Qualcomm's patent licensing fee standard, the future price of mid-range 5G smartphones with a price of 2,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan will be given to Qualcomm's patent license fee of 65 yuan to 97.5 yuan; and for 5G smart phones above 3,000 yuan , The patent license fee given to Qualcomm will exceed 100 yuan. However, Qualcomm's currently announced patent licensing fee standards are still subject to change, and may be adjusted in the future depending on changes in related standards, patent portfolios, and intellectual property policies. Some media pointed out that Qualcomm's announcement of 5G patent licensing fee standards will increase shareholders' confidence in Qualcomm's future development, and the difficulty of Broadcom's acquisition will also increase. In fact, Qualcomm has made great progress in 5G. Last month, its Snapdragon X50 baseband chip has successfully realized 5G data transmission, and 5G may begin large-scale commercial use in 2019. It is worth noting that Qualcomm is currently facing the acquisition of Broadcom. Broadcom hinted that it will adjust the patent licensing fee after acquiring Qualcomm, so once Broadcom successfully acquires Qualcomm, Qualcomm's 5G patent licensing fee standard may not be implemented smoothly. 5G is gradually becoming a reality. In addition to Qualcomm, many manufacturers such as Huawei and ZTE are developing in this field. In addition, Samsung and Xiaomi each develop their own 5G chips.
