> Uh? There are Samsung Exynos devices not using a Samsung baseband?
The S23 for example runs a Qualcomm X70 baseband on either a Samsung Exynos or Qualcomm Snapdragon depending on region. Why that's the case (both using a Qualcomm modem and different CPU vendors for the same device), no idea.
> Sadly, the only way I can see to improve this situation, is to increase government's public funding into standardization.
IMHO, the thing that should be funded is the fundamental research. As it is, most research in the RF and codec sector is in private hands, so no wonder that things like patent trolls eventually arose.
But eh, that's not gonna happen, not in the US (for Trumpian anti-intellectualism reasons), not in Europe (we lack the money, the brains and the willpower to cut through the red tape) and not in China either.
