Huawei usually release the “P” series in the first quarter of every year. But with the US ban, a drop in global shipment and developing its own ecosystem, the Huawei P50 series has been delayed.

However, it’s not all over for Huawei as they’ve been developing their own Ecosystem know as Huawei Mobile Service (HMS).

Huawei is unable to acquire large numbers of its own 5nm Kirin chipset because of the new export rule announced last year. This 5nm Kirin chipset was designed by Huawei through its HiSilicon units, and manufactured by TSMC.

Honor has broken away from Huawei in other to be free of the US ban placed on the mother company. Breaking away from Huawei means the Honor brand can now have access to software and hardware made in US.
Later this year, Huawei is expected to release the Huawei Mate 50 series which is the company’s most technologically advance device. Since the incoming Huawei P50 series will ship with Huawei’s Harmony OS, it’s only reasonable that the Mate 50 series also ship with same operating system.
The US ban saw Huawei dropped from the number one contender to seventh among the world’s top smartphone providers. But it’s also good they’re making a comeback with lots of noise.
