According to reports, the number of orders for MediaTek single-chip systems for Huawei smartphones has already increased by more than 300%.

MediaTek chips are expected to hit mid-range and high-end Huawei mobile phones. In the past, Huawei only used MediaTek chips in low- and mid-range smartphones.
