Huawei, which first became the largest smartphone maker in the second quarter of this year, is now struggling to keep the business alive. The company is now fighting for survival against the US sanctions.
Guo Ping, Huawei's current chairman, has said the company is now focused on developing its HMS ecosystem. After the company was banned from using Google services last year, it developed its own Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) and made them available to everyone as a replacement for Google.
The company will also continue to invest in connectivity, high-performance computing, cloud technology and artificial intelligence. Companies that want to remain Huawei's supply chain partners will be supported by the manufacturer.
However, Huawei is still looking for solutions for smartphone chipsets, hundreds of millions a year are needed for this. The company's own HiSilicon SoC may no longer be produced. But they are ready to use Qualcomm processors and hope for an exemption.
Zhang Ping An, president of Huawei's Consumer Cloud Services, said the company is in talks with Chinese providers to expand the use of HarmonyOS. If Huawei were to convince other smartphone manufacturers to use HarmonyOS, even if only for the Chinese market, it could be a big blow to Google's Android.
Recently, AMD and Intel confirmed that they were licensed by the United States to continue doing business with Huawei, but the scope is not yet known. Apart from them, MediaTek and SMIC have also applied for a license to supply chipsets to Huawei.
Currently, all of Huawei's major suppliers, including TSMC, Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Kioxia, Sharp, Micron and Sony , have ceased business with Huawei to comply with new US regulations.
