Do not lose hope, or in any case not show it publicly.Despite the very complicated situation in which he has been since May 2019, Huawei wishes to show that he still has a lot of ambition on the smartphones market.The brand even states that it aims to take - or resume - the place of leader in industry.

As a reminder, since the decree signed by ex-president Donald Trump, Washington prevents Huawei from working with companies from the United States such as Google.The brand's smartphones can no longer enjoy the play store, among other things.That's not all: foreign suppliers using American technologies no longer have the right to supply Huawei with components.

Huawei wants to sit on the throne

Guo Ping, one of the turning presidents of the Chinese group measures the extent of the problem.During a question and answer session with brand employees-whose transcription was consulted by Reuters-, the manager confess: "Everyone knows that phone fleas need advanced technology in aSmall size with low energy consumption.Huawei can design them, but no one can help us make them: we are stuck ".

However, he says that this major concern is not impossible to solve.

At the time, everything was fine

During the few years preceding the embargo, Huawei indeed progressed at full speed in the classification of the largest world manufacturers.He had managed to settle regularly in second place constantly threatening the Samsung leader.In 2020, even after being struck by the American sanction, the Chinese group, carried by its momentum, was even briefly invited to first place in the podium.This was proof that if the United States had not gotten involved, the Shenzhen firm would have been a very serious pretender to the world's number one position.

However, Huawei's concerns are very different today.By its own admission, the brand seeks above all to survive in the mobile phones sector after having disappeared from the world top 5.

Huawei accused of espionage

As a reminder, the United States accuses Huawei of being in the pay of the Chinese government and of carrying out, in this context, espionage operations by taking advantage of its 5G infrastructure.

To go further Huawei accused of installing backdoors

Huawei has always defended it, but even the change of administration for the benefit of President Joe Biden at the White House does not change anything for the moment.Thus, to take more independence, the Chinese firm develops its own Harmonyos operating system - operating in particular on smartphone - which it tries to make it attractive in the eyes of a maximum of people.

In this regard, the founder of the company, Ren Zhengfei believed that Huawei had to "dare to dominate the world" with Harmonyos.

According to a patent application, Huawei would have found a solution to prevent the screen from a possible future wrapable smartphone to be deformed.Read more
