Chip shortage moving to phones

Qualcomm is struggling to keep up with the demand for its processor chips used in smartphones and gadgets, as a chip shortage that first hit the auto industry spreads across the electronics business.

According to Reuters, Samsung is experiencing a shortage of Qualcomm’s application processors, the heart of smartphones, and it is not the only Android maker suffering.

The problem has come from the US sanctions against Huawei which meant that its users had been rushing to buy other brands. Qualcomm has found it hard to meet this higher than expected demand, in part due to a shortage of some subcomponents used in its chips.
