"Smartphone SoC player MediaTek will face tough competition in 2019 amidst slowing smartphone sales and increasing pressure from Qualcomm. While the company saw its demand increasing with the launch of Helio 70 mobile SoC, it will be hard for it to continue growth with a slowing China smartphone market and a new SoC launched by Qualcomm specifically catering to the mid-high tier market. MediaTek will have to concentrate on key customer expansion in the mid-segment smartphone market, offering key features like AI at competitive prices."- Shobhit Srivastava
