Here's why Huawei's Snapdragon-powered phones don't support 5G - SoyaCincau

? Huawei had launched it in China back in July, and featured the standard top tier specs one might find in a high-end smartphone, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 system-on-chip. But oddly enough, it was limited to just 4G connectivity, with no support for 5G. As it turns out, it’s because that’s the only way to bypass the sanctions placed on them by the US govt.

For some context, back in 2020 the US govt extended their sanctions against Huawei to include barring them from manufacturing silicon that uses any US-based technology. Other companies meanwhile are also barred from exporting silicon with US-based tech back to Huawei. This includes contracting out manufacturing of chips that they’ve designed their own such as the Kirin SoCs. The trouble for Huawei of course stems from the US’ distrust of their 5G network equipment.

With no end of the restrictions against them in sight, Huawei is set to continue this strategy of buying high-end silicon from Qualcomm with their 5G modems removed for now. According to Chinese leakster Digital Chat Station, Huawei will be looking to get more 4G-only chips once Qualcomm launches the upcomingin the coming months.

It’s also likely not the only other processor that Huawei is planning to get from Qualcomm. Digital Chat Station claims that Huawei are also buying the Snapdragon 778G chips with their X53 5G modems removed too. These will likely end up in their more midrange offerings, such as the upcoming Huawei Nova 9. However, with their devices not offering 5G it will make them a tough sell.
