Some smartphone Components (Modem)

Smartphones have communication components to receive and send text messages and calls. That’s where modems(modulator demodulator) come in, and every SoC manufacturer has their own brand of modems, and this includes Qualcomm, Samsung, Huawei and several others.

These manufacturers are also battling it out to release the fastest and efficient category of LTE chips, so if you have come across the term Cat. 9 LTE modem, that is the fastest one out there. However, if your own cellular network does not support those level of speeds, then there’s absolutely no point of having such powerful chips present in smartphones.

Still, companies are going to do their best to make sure they produce the latest and greatest chips of their desired category.
