Yeah this view is pretty dated. Like it or not, China has caught up and started leading in several industries over the last 10 years. They have the capacity, skills, and domestic demand for competitive high quality products. Their domestic chip from SIMV is only a few years behind at "5nm" which was the 2021 standard. I'm still playing modern games on a 8 year old i7. Most consumers who use their phones for social media probably wouldn't notice much difference between a 2021 phone vs 2025 phone besides a better camera and software.
No, I mean if we're talking about comparing US and Chinese consumer chips on most phone activities in 2025, you aren't likely to notice a major difference.
If you want to compare mobile camera systems, that's a separate comparison. I like Google camera software/processing a lot, but Chinese companies have been innovating tremendously with their mobile camera stacks. I'm way more interested in the Huawei 14/15 ultra offerings for example.
