Huawei was planning to become the
world’s first smartphone for a long time. The company has been confident
about achieving that status by 2020 but America’s ban changed all the
situations. Now the country is assessing its chances of becoming the
No.1 smartphone in the world.
America’s Ban Has a Larger Impact than Expected
Trump’s administration has imposed a ban
on all American companies to not supply products to Huawei. As almost
all the software and hardware supplying brands are based out of America,
it has become a lot tougher for Huawei. The company has prepared its
own Operating System as Google has stopped dealing with it. Likewise,
there are so many such situations that have become a hurdle for Huawei.
George Zhao, the
president of Huawei brand stated that they are closely observing the
situation and are reassessing their possibilities. He added that they
cannot say whether the company will achieve our goal or not after this
new situation.
The company has imposed some production
cuts but the one thing that is still unclear is whether these cuts will
be temporary or permanent. As the sales for Huawei phones have surged,
Foxconn has started a recruitment process to hire more people. But with
the latest news, they have stopped the procedure.
The first quarter of 2019 was very good
for Huawei and the company’s sales have risen by 5% since last year and
at this time the ban from America is nothing but a big blow. Although
the company is tying up with Africa for 5G, it won’t make a great impact
in making Huawei the No.1 smartphone brand.
Hence the company president stated that they are reassessing the situations about reaching the goal.
