MediaTek Might Have Overtaken Qualcomm In US Android Marketshare

MediaTek might have just beaten out Qualcomm to claim the biggest market share of any chipmaker for Android phones in the United States -- at least, according to one analyst group. The Verge reports: According to IDC's quarterly mobile phone sales tracker, as Q4 2021 MediaTek chips account for 48.1 percent of all Android phones in the United States, compared to 43.9 percent for Qualcomm, as spotted by PCMag. Those numbers are a stark inversion from the previous quarter, where MediaTek had a 41 percent market share to Qualcomm's 56 percent. IDC's report notes that MediaTek's surge was driven largely by sales of the Galaxy A12, Galaxy A32, and G Pure, which made up 51 percent of MediaTek devices sold in Q4 and 24 percent of the entire Android market in the US. There are conflicting reports, however. According to The Verge, "Counterpoint Research's own report puts the Q4 2021 split at 55 percent for Qualcomm, and 37 percent for MediaTek, so it's possible that Qualcomm is still holding on to its crown for now."
