A bunch of patent from Huawei suggests that they could be working on a smartphone, which is equipped with an under-display selfie camera very soon. This is due to the fact that the patent shows that there is no notch for the front-facing selfie camera visible towards the top of the display.

Chipsets used by smartphones are getting smaller and smaller nowadays, with the current smallest being only 7nm and it's from Apple and Huawei. The reasons for making them so tiny are because the tinier the better for power efficiency and silicon area size. Earlier, the largest chipmaker TSMC has taken on the challenge by making a 3nm process and planned to release it by the end of 2020. However, it will now be delayed until early 2021 because of the pandemic.

Looking for a new job is pretty tough during these current circumstances, and you'd be crazy enough if you want to resign right now. But hey, if you happen to be a fresh IT graduate (or something similar), you could give Huawei HiSilicon a chance as the company have just recently announced a global recruitment program.

Is your meeting room still using a plain and boring whiteboard for presentation? If it is, you should get an upgrade now with the new Huawei IdeaHub smart screens that were launched today. The product series includes the IdeaHub S, IdeaHub Pro and IdeaHub Enterprise, which all of them will bring your meeting to a whole new level with different useful features.

At the beginning of the year, we saw the news that OPPO will be manufacturing chipsets to be used on their own devices. The process of making a chipset takes a long time and great effort, so it might have to be a while before OPPO's chipset gets to meet the world. However, it is said that the company is now speeding up the process because of the US sanctions that happened between the US and Huawei.

Earlier, we have heard the news that HONOR might turn to MediaTek for the supply of chipsets as the aftermath of the US sanctions. As the parent brand, Huawei is also in a hardship that the tech giant has been cut from most of its chipset suppliers. Huawei has been using MediaTek's chipsets on some of its smartphones, and the order made to the Taiwanese chip manufacturer has even increased to 300 percent this year. However, it is said that MediaTek might not able to continue to supply chipsets to Huawei for some reason.

The US sanctions on Huawei has been happening for quite a while and the situation is definitely not getting better anytime soon. Earlier, we have also seen the news that the President of United States Donald Trump has extended the ban until May 2021. Not only the company has lost access to Google services, there are also some other problems surfacing as well such as chip supply. It is said that HONOR (sub-brand from Huawei) is planning to turn to MediaTek for the supply of 5G SoCs in the future.

We all know Huawei mostly for its phones, but the company also has a hand in a lot of different fields. One of it is the semiconductor industry, with HiSilicon being its chip manufacturing arm. The manufacturer has now unveiled its first XR chip that's capable of decoding 8K and could open the way for improved AR/VR products.

At this challenging time, all of us are practising social distancing and most of the work is being carried out and done at home. Without the support of technology and the internet, we really can’t imagine how things are going to work out and how we can stay connected to the outside world. With that being said, Huawei has realized the importance of educating people to get prepared for technology-centric challenges in the real world, and launched the ASEAN Academy as a dedicated training module to empower digital talent.

The HUAWEI Ban was signed in May 2019 declaring a national security risk emergency that banned U.S. companies from using telecommunications equipment made by Chinese firms has not come to an end yet. President Donald Trump has just announced another year of extension on the ban until May 2021.
