MediaTek said smartphone-related revenue is expected to fall sharply in the first quarter of 2026. The company’s smartphone segment recorded a quarterly revenue high in the fourth quarter of 2025, with full-year revenue exceeding US$10 billion, up 8% year-on-year and setting a new record. Flagship chips accounted for US$3 billion of that total. Based on end-market demand, MediaTek’s smartphone chip shipments are estimated to be split roughly 30% for high-end models and 70% for mid- and low-tier devices.
