Is it even true for the Asian designed phones that the majority of the hardware is designed in Asia?

LOTS of Qualcomm ICs as well as Skyworks, Qorvo and Maxim which are all US companies.

If you consider display/battery/cameras/mechanicals, then by weight/volume/cost, most of the phone is designed in Asia.
