Engadget - Dutch company NXP -- best known for it's NFC solutions -- introduced a new audio chip today that's set to significantly improve the sound quality of the micro-speakers commonly built into mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
China is still hopeful it can approve Qualcomm’s acquisition of NXP majority shares despite vetoing the earlier $44 billion deal between the two companies.
US-China Trade battle is bringing up some serious tensions for top tech giants. US microchip manufacturer Qualcomm is one of those, as the company's US$44 billion deal to take over NXP Semiconductors is yet to get the approval from the Chinese government at the verge of the deadline on this Wednesday.
EU antitrust authorities opened on Friday an investigation into U.S. smartphone chipmaker Qualcomm's (QCOM.O) $38-billion bid for NXP Semiconductors (NXP.N), concerned that the merged company may squeeze out rivals and jack up prices.
