Discover the technological strides of Huawei with TechInsights in our deep dive. From the Mate 60 Pro to the Huawei Qingyun L540 laptop, explore groundbreaking devices and pivotal events shaping China's tech landscape.

Global annual handset shipments showed positive growth, the first in ten quarters, in Q4 2023. Global 5G smartphone shipments showed positive growth, while 4G LTE, 3G and 2G shrank. Apple captured the top spot in 5G while Samsung leads in overall global handset shipments.

Start-up funding and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity slowed during the quarter with higher interest rates and regulatory hurdles. A higher than usual proportion of announcements centered on new fab construction and new process technologies including very high frequency acoustic filters, 2 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS), and silicon carbide power. Wi-Fi 7, gallium nitride, and non-terrestrial networks were hot topics.

The user experience (UX) of digital assistants was a focus at CES 2024, where various OEMs and suppliers including Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen, Cerence, TomTom, and Qualcomm presented generative artificial intelligence (AI) digital assistants.

TechInsights analysts Gina Luk, Director of Telecom Strategies, and Waseem Haider, Principal Analyst in IoT & Enterprise Research, are set to unravel the compelling topics poised to take center stage at MWC 2024.
