                  This proves "chip shortage" is not the reason there's no new Note.

                      And let just see how much more Huawei can milk from their China patriots.

                          Kirin chips - no backdoors found despite intense international scrutiny

                          Snapdragon chips - backdoors found that enables a 3rd party to eavesdrop on conversations and obtain root access to phones

                          Check your facts.

                              Is samsung allowed to sell chips to huawei?

                                I hope 5g versions will come in the future in my country. 5G is already available it feels strange to buy a 4g phone now.

So yeah, Qualcomm will be forced to create a new model called 885 or 880 and be used on cheap phones and tablets.

                                  The 5G deployment slowed down a lot and seems that the tech which was starting to deploy, it got shafted HARD to the politics and the pandemics.

                                    Obviously Honor 50 series using different image algorithm, ISP, camera hardware than before. They lost Huawei's camera goodies touch after the separation.
