We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Handset market", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
Start with the news release RF modules to cash in on ultra-low-cost handsets from TriQuint Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Highly integrated modules offer a reduced bill of materials, smaller size, longer battery life and proven interoperability with leading single-chip silicon radios". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Backlight power savings are all in the maths from MagnaChip Semiconductor: "Algorithm can reduce the luminance of LCD backlights by up to 50% through the analysis of the image data in LCD driver chips and the related adjustment of power consumption rates in the LED drivers".
In September 2007, we covered the news from NXP Semiconductors concerning its Nexperia PNX4903 - take a look at Multimedia system suits low-cost handsets which says: "NXP's solution allows handset OEMs/ODMs to deliver rich, multimedia content to entry-level mobile phone users".
Take a look also at the news release from OmniVision, Sensor slots in to upgrade handset imaging, as well as Handset makers drive growth for RFMD from RF Micro Devices, and EDGE mobile phones built around Nexperia platform from NXP Semiconductors.
