Huawei CEO Denies Qualcomm 5G Chip Supply Rumors, Focuses on Smartphone Business Growth

Insiders from the industry chain have revealed that Huawei has raised its 2023 smartphone shipment target to 40 million units, a significant increase from the initial target of 30 million units set earlier this year. This positive adjustment can be attributed to the promising prospects of Huawei’s P60 series and Mate X3 smartphones. Additionally, Huawei’s supply chain has experienced a corresponding recovery, further supporting the company’s positive outlook.

Amidst these developments, the release of Huawei’s Mate 60 series remains a possibility. Huawei has demonstrated an intensive schedule of new device releases over the past year, giving hope to enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the unveiling of the Mate 60 series in the near future.

Recently, a digital blogger shared a conceptual image of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, which exhibits similarities to its predecessor, the Mate 40 Pro. However, it is important to note that this image is not the final design of the Mate 60 Pro and should be regarded only as a reference.

In related news, The Wall Street Journal reports that the United States plans to extend the deadline for exemptions from export controls on semiconductors to China. This development is positive for chip companies from South Korea and Taiwan, as it allows them to maintain and expand their business operations in China, benefiting the domestic chip manufacturing industry.
