18、expanding the low-tieropportunityWe provide an update on the low-cost smartphone market following our visit to the P/T CommExpo in Beijing and recent developments from the carrier and supply chain.Keydevelopments include:(1)China Mobiles more aggressive push on TD-SCDMA,(2)innovation on multi-core p

19、latforms to have an effect on performance rather than cost,and(3)fast expansion in the low-cost tablet space,though dominated by unlisted Chinese vendors.,We remain positive on the emerging markets smartphones growth opportunity and believe2013 can remain a solid growth year with enough market expan

20、sion and productinnovation from the chipset players to maintain growth with at least stable margins.Abroader range of price points from low-end EDGE up to multi-core HSPA+can allow thebranded Chinese vendors to gain share and squeeze the mid-tier vendors further.We notethat emerging markets have ove

21、rtaken developed markets this year in volume terms andlow-cost vendors in China have seen a rapid inflection in the past few quarters to takemarket share.Once growth slows and the market becomes saturated,the space will needto consolidate or find continued ways to innovate(rather than race to the bo

22、ttom on costs)to avoid excess profits crowded out by new entrants as happened in feature phones.In themeantime,we still see significant expansion both in China and the export channel,whichis still at a nascent stage.,Chinese brands have anenlarging ecosystem todrive share gains,Figure 8:Tier 2 brand

25、e TD pushMarvell/Spreadtrum to benefitChina Mobiles TD-SCDMA push growing more aggressive,China Mobile(CM)held a TD-SCDMA summit last week for its supply chain and projectedan optimistic stance for market growth.The company maintained its expectations to sell60 mn TD-SCDMA mobile terminal devices in

26、 2012,up from 9.4 mn in 2010.Spreadtrumbelieves that volume will also be supplemented by 2030 mn retail channel units.Morenotably,CM now expects to sell over 100 mn TD-SCDMA mobile terminals in 2013,80%of which will be smartphones.Further,CM is looking to split the 100 mn units,with 50 mninto the ca

27、rrier channel and 50 mn in the retail open channel to allow faster time to marketand customisationtraits that could enable Spreadtrums low-cost supply chain.China Mobile also plans to expand its distribution channels to allow customers to buy TD-SCDMA devices from both CM outlets and its partners sa

39、early as 1Q13.ZTE and Huawei have each secured 30%marketshare in the 4Q12 deployments and we expect a very similar share allocation for 2013.Last week,China Mobile announced that it will,in 4Q12,start the procurement of 200,000TD-LTE mobile terminals(including data cards and handsets).In mid-Septemb
