The first "non-medal" rank was occupied by Unisoc, whose share in the period in question was 11% and which thus improved by seven percentage points year-on-year. Fifth was Samsung with a share of 4%, which lost three percentage points year-on-year (according to Counterpoint Research due to the fact that it launched more phones and tablets with chips from MediaTek during this period), and the top six players in this field are closed by HiSilicon, a subsidiary Huawei, whose share fell from 7% to just one percent due to US sanctions.
