Qualcomm's modems are hard to beat on one critical factor - power. Over multiple generations, with millions of devices on the field, they've had the advantage of tweaking their designs (both silicon and firmware) to work very optimally. Anyone can build a modem that "works," but to make it power efficient is a whole different ball-game.
