Paul E Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm, said: “Looking forward, we expect our performance to reflect the continued strong global growth of smartphones, our chipset leadership position and our competitive strengths in 3G/4G technologies and products.”

Despite challenging conditions on account of the probe in China, Qualcomm maintained its revenue outlook for the current year at $26 billion to $27.5 billion.

For the second quarter, Qualcomm is expecting $6.1 billion to $6.7 billion revenue from the earlier expectation of $6.12 billion.
