Amidst the well-known trade tensions between Huawei and the US, a new chapter seems to be unfolding. Huawei, which had faced limitations on selling its 5G smartphones due to market constraints, appears to be gearing up for a resurgence in the 5G smartphone realm by the year’s end.
Recent revelations brought to light by DigitalChatStation have shed light on a significant development. Several Huawei devices have garnered certification from Bluetooth SIG, indicating a potential shift in the company’s strategy. Among these devices, models from the revered Mate series, the acclaimed P series, and the beloved Nova series seem to be making a prominent return to the 5G landscape.
While the specifics from the Bluetooth SIG certification database remain undisclosed, speculation is rife regarding the characteristics of these devices. It’s strongly presumed that each of these certified devices will proudly tout 5G capabilities upon their unveiling.
This strategic move aligns seamlessly with the recent reports stemming from Reuters, which suggest that Huawei is meticulously preparing for a triumphant reentry into the market with its 5G offerings. A key aspect of this endeavor involves a pivotal collaboration with SMIC, aimed at creating 5G chipsets using SMIC’s N+1 manufacturing process and Huawei’s state-of-the-art electronic design automation (EDA) software tools.
Anticipation is mounting as Huawei’s timeline unfolds. The company’s maiden 5G smartphone, powered by the groundbreaking chipset forged through collaboration, is slated for a debut by the close of the year. All signs point to this eagerly awaited device joining the illustrious ranks of the Huawei Mate 60 Series, marking a significant stride forward for Huawei’s presence in the dynamic realm of 5G smartphones.
