Counterpoint: shipments of MediaTek and Qualcomm chipsets decline

MediaTek's chipset market share fell from 38% in Q1 2025 to 32% in Q1 this year, while Qualcomm's share also declined year-over-year. Rising memory chip costs reduced entry-level and mid-range phone sales. Samsung's Exynos shipments increased as more Galaxy phones use in-house chips. Apple's A-series shipments grew on strong iPhone 17 demand.
