Oh well Mediatek can supply 5G so I fail to see why US govt handicap Qualcomm here.

Hopefully the BS the U.S has done to huawei will finally go away and huawei will be able to produce it's own kirin chips again.

Deplete your whole data allowance in a matter of seconds? Play with a VR headset while crossing the street? Upload a live feed of yourself 24/7?

LordAlzain, 14 Nov 2020This proves the point that the whole Huawei thing is nothin... moreWRONG, this shows that cellphones have never been the scooe of the whole affair, as all ccp-china-huawei fanboys keep crying about, in reality, this ban has been implemented to stop china from taking control via huawei of the 5g and beyond, and not exactly with puny cellphones, no, the really important thing is the INFRASTRUCTURE of the whole telecom systems, but all naive/blind/ignorant sheep do not, or can not grasp this

Could be a potential option as the company has very few options. They've already had to sell honor because of the chip situation

Hopefully Huawei declines and instead makes their own chips.

Huawei did have entry level phones with Snapdragon 400-series. Seeing that 5G has yet to filter down to entry level segment, I don't see why Huawei couldn't resume the practice if they wanted to. Also, Huawei does make different network versions of their tablets (Wifi only, 4G, 5G). The Snapdragons could end up there, too, if they wanted.

And using outdated 4G, NOW, really slows down innovation.
So, it makes zero sense for Huawei to revert back to 4G smartphones when 2019 and 2020 they used all 5G SoCs.
I see Huawei only using these chips perhaps in its AIoT or similar products. Not in their flagship phones.
But, hey, Huawei might be so desperate, they'll try any SoC just to stay relevant to see what happens in the future.
It has begun.
Huawei is pedaling backwards.

Ah-yes! Oh... Oh... Oh... But, where's that "Huawei will receive QC 5G SoCs?!"
Bahahaha!
Told you fanboys. As long as it's not 5G related, licenses will be considered.
But, not / NEVER 5G or future 6G related and it doesn't matter who's in the WH.
This is a congress controlled regulation now and all parties are bipartisan to the threat of China's security, IP theft, etc. practices.
