Not long ago, Chinese mobile phone manufacturer OPPO announced the cessation of its chip research and development workSuddenly, the industry was shocked. After all, Chinese chips have been subject to US sanctions for a long time, and after Huawei, OPPO is a strong research chip company.

The departure of OPPO raises the question of whether Chinese chips can be developed. OPPO has already given up, so will vivo and Xiaomi continue?
But a recent piece of news has prompted people to reconsider this issue. Perhaps there are other reasons why OPPO has abandoned chip development.
This news is that a German security company tested a phone that uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and then found that the chip directly sent personal location information to Qualcomm's server without the user's consent. That is to say, Qualcomm servers can directly obtain customer location information without customer permission.

And even more terrifying is that this information processing priority takes precedence over any operating system, meaning it cannot be banned, whether you are using an Apple phone or another brand of phone.
According to this news, some people also associate OPPO with stopping chip research and development. Why did OPPO stop chip research and development.
As an OPPO phone with consistently stable sales in the industry, it has been popular for many years and has accumulated a large amount of wealth. OPPO's choice to develop chips cannot be a momentary impulse, but rather a carefully considered one,And OPPO has invested tens of billions of dollars in research and development funds to develop chips. If we stop now, none of this money will have any effect.

Since OPPO is not short of money and can attract talent, and even the chips designed are very advanced, the sudden dissolution of the entire team is not due to its own reasons, but due to excessive external pressure, there is a risk of being sanctioned.
And OPPO's senior management once spoke on social media that the big problem is what money cannot solve, and what can be solved is not a big problem.
But no one is clear about why they were sanctioned. Is it just because OPPO has access to chips that it will reduce the purchase of Qualcomm chips. This should also be secondary, after all, OPPO is difficult to be more powerful than Huawei.
If Huawei produces top-notch chips, then OPPO also produces them, which is not a big deal, because Huawei is definitely the more threatening to Qualcomm.

At present, Huawei has the design capability of top-level chips, but the pressure it has faced in recent years is also very obvious. Almost many people at that time thought that Huawei would not be able to persist, and in order to survive, Huawei also sold its own Honor series phones.
So is OPPO afraid of becoming the second Huawei? After all, not every company can survive like Huawei. OPPO's business is currently relatively single compared to Huawei. If it is sanctioned and loses its mobile phone business, OPPO may find it difficult to survive.

So many people absolutely abandon OPPO's research on chips because of the pressure exerted by the power on OPPO. In this situation, OPPO's abandonment of chip research is purely unavoidable. Because OPPO feels that it cannot resist US sanctions like Huawei.
In addition, in this era of big data, almost all users are concerned about personal privacy and information security issues, especially when there is a large amount of personal information in mobile phones. Therefore, data security on mobile phones is crucial.
Or it is precisely this issue with Qualcomm that made OPPO realize that there are significant security vulnerabilities in chips. Mobile phone manufacturers need to improve users' security experience and strengthen their own product security measures.

In the information age today, only by strengthening the security of mobile phones can customers feel at ease. The phones previously produced by OPPO used a large number of Qualcomm chips. In this situation, if Qualcomm maliciously leaked OPPO user information, OPPO cannot prevent it.
This harms the safety of OPPO users and will be a fatal blow to OPPO. Because using an OPPO phone means it is unsafe, who would still use an OPPO phone.
As the first large enterprise in China to announce the abandonment of chip research and development, OPPO is also currently ranked first in China's mobile phone market share. Its failure in the chip field also indicates that chip research and development in China is not easy.

There are not many places in the United States where the neck of China can be stuck, and chips are very important places where the neck of China can be stuck. The application range of chips is wide, and China has long been in a state of poor technology, while the United States is a country with excellent chip technology. By controlling chips, many Chinese companies can be hit.
In order to better crack down on Chinese companies, the United States has made every effort to attract TSMC to build factories in the United States, keeping TSMC under the control of the United States. In this situation, China can only rely on its own efforts to achieve successful chip research and development, with almost no external force to help.
At present, China has made some significant breakthroughs in the field of chip research. Many companies, including Huawei, are continuing to research chips, and I believe that one day in the future, China's chip research will no longer be threatened by foreign countries.
