TAIPEI -- Taiwan's MediaTek, the world's second largest mobile chip provider by revenue, on Monday said smartphone demand was likely to remain slow in the three months ending in September due to the lukewarm Chinese market and its own loss of market share to bigger rival Qualcomm.
MediaTek does not supply U.S. tech group Apple but mainly sells to major Chinese smartphone makers such as Huawei Technologies, Oppo, Vivo, Meizu and Gionee, and also provides chips for Samsung Electronics' mid-to-low end mobile phones.
