Chinese mobile giant Huawei has reportedly developed strategies to bypass the impact of US sanctions that limit its access to US technology and launch 5G-enabled smartphones as early as next year.
The company, which briefly overtook Samsung as the world’s biggest manufacturer in 2020, is blacklisted by the US government – affecting its supply of everything from software to processors.
Although Huawei stockpiled components and has sought to bring as much development as possible in-house, the restrictions have limited its ability to develop and manufacture smartphones, especially those with 5G.
