A new teardown of Huawei devices has revealed that the company had to replace the US made parts with unknown Chinese ones. This replacement was caused after the US ban, where the Chinese tech giant was barred from using products made by America based companies.
According to a new report, a Tokyo teardown specialist by the name of Fomalhaut Techno Solutions opened up Huawei’s flagship Mate 30. The teardown was done to analyze the internals of the smartphone, which revealed various parts from different Chinese firms. For those unaware, the Mate 30 is a part of Huawei’s flagship series and boasts top notch specs but arrives with vanilla Android without Google services due to the ban.

After the ban, only 1 percent of the internal components value of the Huawei smartphone comprised of US made parts. This number is a sharp decline from the previously reported 11 percent. Thus, it seems that Huawei had to forcibly shift suppliers for various parts. Currently, Huawei handsets ship without Google services and feature its own proprietary HMS (Huawei mobile services) and AppGallery.
At the same time, the Chinese tech giant is also racing to ready its HarmonyOS (HongMengOS in China). Despite the loss of Google support, Huawei is doing quite well in China, even during the coronavirus pandemic. However, the same cannot be said for the overseas market, where Google services are almost synonymous with the Android operating system.
