For Japanese operators, Huawei is also a good partner in ensuring that Huawei phones can be used safely.
The three major operations in Japan have resumed the sales of Huawei mobile phones.
According to Japanese authoritative media “Daily News”, Japan’s largest telecommunications company NTT (Japan’s Como Communications) announced on its website that it will resume ordering Huawei P30 Pro smartphones from August 21, and will The phone will continue to be sold in September.
The NTT spokesperson said: “We have been studying the impact of US sanctions on Huawei, but we have confirmed that our customers can use Huawei products safely at this stage.”
Before this, two other Japanese operator giants KDDI and Softbank have launched Huawei’s P30 lite smartphone on August 8.
In May of this year, Huawei launched the new smart phone P30 series in Tokyo. However, it was soon subjected to US sanctions, and subsequently Japan’s three major operators have issued a statement suspending the launch of Huawei’s new machine in Japan, saying that the US ban on Huawei will result in its mobile phone not being able to update Google’s system. Now, the US Department of Commerce has extended Huawei’s “temporary permit” for 90 days, allowing Huawei to continue to purchase parts in the United States. This license was originally scheduled to expire on Monday.
Earlier, South Korean retail giant Lotte also began selling Huawei P30 lite phones on August 5. The company also delayed the launch of the phone in May.
Visible, Huawei’s mobile phone sales in overseas markets are gradually recovering lost ground. At the Huawei China Press Conference at the end of July, Huawei Chairman Liang Hua said that the overseas market of mobile phones has returned to the level of 80% before the ban.
For Japanese operators, Huawei is also a good partner in ensuring that Huawei phones can be used safely.
Huawei mobile phones are very popular in Japan. According to the “Daily News” report, as of the end of March this year (Huawei suffered US sanctions in the second quarter of this year), Huawei ranked fifth in smartphone shipments in Japan, accounting for 6.2% of total shipments, second only to Apple, Sharp, Sony and Samsung.
The P30 series is also the current explosion model of Huawei. Although the sanctions have been blocked in overseas markets, the sales of the P30 series have still achieved high results. Huawei announced that the P30 series has exceeded 10 million units in 85 days (as of June 20), 62 days ahead of the P20 series.
In addition, It is worth mentioning that NTT resumes ordering this Huawei mobile phone P30 Pro, Japan parts accounted for more than half, US company components onlyA small percentage.
Fomalhaut Techno Solutions, a Japanese research institute, dismantled the phone and found that only 15 of the total 1631 components were provided by US companies, accounting for 0.9%, while Japanese companies had the largest number of components, 869. More than half of the total. It can be seen that the sales of Huawei mobile phones also have a strong driving effect on the Japanese related industry chain.
However, the cost of these 15 US components is $59.36, which is as high as 16.3%. In comparison, the total cost of more than 800 Japanese companies is $83.71, accounting for only 23%. It can be seen that some of the core components of the P30 Pro are still from US companies. The biggest bargaining chip in the US for launching a trade war with China is the advantage of its semiconductor industry.
However, Huawei is looking for alternatives. On the one hand, Huawei has procured more products in Asia and Europe to fill the gaps in US companies. On the other hand, strengthen self-study, In addition to existing Kylin processors and modems, according to Taiwan’s “Electronic Times” report, Huawei Hai Thinking is still developing notebook CPUs, GPUs, mobile device application chips, and multimedia display chips. For the GMS Android system with the strongest deterrent to Huawei mobile phones, Huawei has also released the Hongmeng system for the alternative. Yu Chengdong said that Hongmeng has reached the commercial level and can replace Android at any time, but in the optional case, Android is still the first choice.
