According to some recent reports, Huawei will launch a new series of Mate 50 flagship phones early next year. Some of the Mate 50 will use the Kirin 990 chip, but some will be equipped with the Qualcomm 898, albeit only the 4G version.
Huawei Mate 50 smartphones will be released earlier than expected
According to earlier reports, the Huawei Mate 50 series is expected to be launched in the first quarter of next year, most likely in March.
Not surprisingly, the Mate 50 series will see improved screen and camera. It is worth noting that the smartphone will initially have Hongmeng OS 2.0 installed. As for the first actual sale, it can only be after the first quarter.
In addition, Huawei's mobile phone business will continue to grow. According to reports, Yu Chengdong recently said at an internal presentation on the consumer business that Huawei mobile phones will continue to be made and that the king will return in 2023.
In September this year, Huawei Chairman Xu Zhijun said in an interview that after the sanctions, Huawei relied on stocks to survive and solve the chip problem. It will rely on the joint efforts of China's semiconductor industry chain, which will require a lot of effort and time.
Huawei will entrust the production of smartphones to contractors under its brands
The first step to save the smartphone business for the Chinese company Huawei Technologies, which is subject to US sanctions, was to separate the Honor brand into an independent business. Now the Chinese giant is thinking about developing smartphones for third-party manufacturers who will sell them under their own brands.
Huawei's new plan was shared by Bloomberg with reference to its own sources. According to Huawei Technologies, it wants to allow third-party companies to produce smartphone models developed by it under other brands, while maintaining access to those components that the Chinese giant cannot purchase due to sanctions. Possible partners are the Chinese companies PTAC and TD Tech. The first one offers corporate clients smartphones under the Nova brand manufactured by Huawei on its website. In the future, the range of offers may expand due to private brand models developed by the senior partner.
According to reports, Huawei specialists have already begun to revise the design of key smartphone models in order to move away from using their own HiSilicon processors in favor of replacing them with Qualcomm and MediaTek products. Together with the continued production of Huawei-branded smartphones, this will allow the company to sell more than 30 million smartphones by the end of next year.
Restrictions imposed by US sanctions have already caused Huawei's sales in the consumer device segment, which includes smartphones, to fall for four consecutive quarters. The management of the Chinese giant has repeatedly spoken out in favor of preserving this type of business even under conditions of severe sanctions.
