Huawei is in a difficult situation! There is a serious shortage of offline stores, and one mobile phone is sold less.

Due to well-known reasons, the relevant ban will become stricter in 2020. After the ban came into effect, Huawei's global chip supply chain was immediately cut off, and Huawei once lost all chip sources.

For Huawei, which has no chip manufacturing capability, this is undoubtedly a dead end. Fortunately, Huawei reserved a certain number of chips before the ban came into effect, which can be supported by inventory for a period of time.

However, after all, the inventory is limited. Although Huawei has sold mobile phones as reasonably as possible, with the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer Huawei chips left, and the situation of Huawei's smart phone business is getting more and more difficult.

In my opinion, this is mainly because Huawei's inventory chips are only used for high-end flagships. Before the chip supply chain was cut off, Huawei's low-end models were not as popular as high-end machines.

Moreover, Huawei Mate series and P series high-end machines are the signboards of Huawei mobile phones. In terms of value, it is undoubtedly the best choice to keep high-end machines, so most of the chips that Huawei kept before the ban came into effect were high-end chips.

Nowadays, Huawei's high-end machines are seriously out of stock, and the long-awaited launch time of Huawei P50 series new machines has been delayed. Obviously, Huawei's chip inventory has reached the end of its tether.

So what will be the result of Huawei's mobile phone business before? The author believes that Huawei's mobile phone business faces two results: one is to focus on 4G models; The other is to give up temporarily.

As far as I know, Qualcomm has obtained the supply license issued by relevant parties, but the export of 5G chips is still prohibited.

This means that Huawei can already buy 4G chips from Qualcomm, and Qualcomm can also design new high-performance 4G processors for Huawei, a big customer.

In this way, Huawei's smart phone business can continue to rely on 4G mobile phones before the whole people enter the 5G era.

After all, 4G will be eliminated by consumers. At that time, if the supply of Huawei's 5G chips recovers well, if it still does not recover, the consequences can be imagined.

As for the option of "temporarily giving up", it is too negative, unlike Huawei's choice.

Although it is still possible for domestic chips to break overseas monopoly and help Huawei restore chip supply, it may take a long time as far as the current situation is concerned.

In your opinion, will Huawei's smartphone business fail completely?
