While it was almost the world number one in the smartphones market, Huawei saw its market shares collapse after the entry into force of the sanctions imposed by Washington.As a reminder, these sanctions oblige American companies to request a permit before trade with Huawei.

This had the main consequence the impossibility for Huawei to preset the apps and services of Google on its smartphones.Then, the United States has strengthened these sanctions by applying the same restrictions to non-American companies, but which use American equipment and technologies.

Result: today, in addition to not having access to the Google license for Android smartphones, Huawei also finds it to obtain components for its smartphones.Currently, Huawei no longer has the possibility of ordering Kirin chips with its former supplier.

Huawei's latest premium model uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip on which 5G has been withdrawn, since the company is not allowed to provide 5G chips to the manufacturer.

The solution would be to sell licenses

Although it goes through very difficult moments, Huawei has not yet abandoned the smartphones market.And according to a recent Bloomberg article, the Chinese manufacturer is thinking of a new solution in order to bypass the sanctions of the United States.

Citing sources close to the file, the American media explains that to get around these sanctions, Huawei could continue to design smartphones, then sell licenses for these conceptions to third -party companies which, not the subject of any sanction, could'Supply with suppliers.

Huawei would plan to sell licenses to a subsidiary of China Postal and Telecommunications Appliances CO, a company owned by the Chinese State.This subsidiary, called XNOVA, would already sell smartphones from the NOVA de Huawei brand on its e-commerce site.But if it buys Huawei's licenses, it would sell devices of its own brand, using the conceptions of the Chinese manufacturer.

Another company, TD Tech, specializing in telecommunications equipment, could also sell smartphones designed by Huawei, but under its own brand.Nevertheless, Bloomberg indicates that these partnerships are still under negotiation and that changes are still possible.It remains to be seen whether this maneuver will effectively allow the devices designed by Huawei to be manufactured without undergoing constraints at the level of the supply chain.

Recall that the manufacturer has already separated from its brand Honor, specializing in mid-range smartphones, so that it can free itself from American sanctions.And that has borne fruit since after having seen his shares plunge, Honor is growing again in China, and gradually returns to Europe.
