Samsung extends cross license with Qualcomm
 

Enemy of my enemy

Samsung is about to launch the Galaxy S9 and the US and Chinese version will use the Snapdragon 845. Samsung has been fighting Qualcomm with its own Exynos but the global patent cross-license agreement as well as a multi-year strategic relationship agreement sends a strong no-buy message to Broadcom.

Settling one big legal fight with Samsung is also an important step towards the final closure with Apple. Fudzilla did tell you that these legal battles are usually settled behind closed doors without announcing the big winner or big loser. Once again, we were right as Qualcomm and Samsung have found common ground that resulted in the extended cross licensing. The news comes just in time before the company announced its FY2018 Q1 financial results.
