Huawei’s in a tight spot right now as many vendors and businesses severe ties with the Chinese manufacturer. It seems like Huawei had anticipated this move for awhile and has been working on their very own OS. Reports have surfaced that the OS may be named “Ark OS” instead of the initially thought HongMeng.

Things are seemingly grim for Huawei. Ever since Google announced that it will stop its services for Huawei, Qualcomm and Intel will also cut ties with them. But all is not lost, as of recent news, not everyone is on the same page with the US Government. This includes TSMC, Panasonic, Aptoide, and an official statement by Huawei CEO, Ren Zhengfei on the future of Huawei.

According to the BBC, ARM Holdings, designers of nearly all the smartphone chipsets and processors in the world recently sent out a memo to stop "all active contracts, support entitlements, and any pending engagements” with Huawei due to the US blacklisting. While ARM is a UK-based company owned by Japan-based SoftBank, it purportedly uses “US origin technology” in their designs which are also used in Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin chipsets. While this means that we could see less Huawei Kirin chipsets in the future, it isn’t all as grim or “insurmountable” as some may believe.

Apparently, realizing that there’s just too many loose ends to shore up, the US Government has just provided Huawei with a temporary license for 3 months that invalidates the previous blacklist. The license in particular states that Huawei suppliers in the US may sell Huawei equipment "necessary to maintain and support existing and currently fully operational networks and equipment, including software updates and patches."

If you thought Google cutting business ties with Huawei wasn’t brutal enough, Qualcomm and Intel have now hopped on the bandwagon as well. The two companies will be cutting chip supplies to the Chinese manufacturer under orders by the Trump administration.

Trade wars have always been brutal and the current trade war between the United States and China is potentially about to leave many Huawei users disappointed. Huawei’s business with Google has been suspended and among the services affected include the transfer of hardware, software and technical services. TL;DR: Huawei users would potentially lose access to popular Google services such as Google Play Store, Gmail and Youtube.

So we mentioned this before, but Huawei did introduce its digital service, AppTouch platform at MWC 2019 a few days ago. This time around, they have officially released the platform at the Digital Game Conference 2019 that was held in Dubai, along with features that will enhance the digital entertainment services such as games, videos and music.

In Huawei's latest financial report in 2019, they have managed to climb up to the 12th spot on the Brand Finance Global 500 2019 chart. It was released by Brand Finance, a British-based brand value consulting company and previously, Huawei was sitting on the 25h spot which a pretty big jump.

Huawei conducted a pre-MWC 2019 briefing, introducing everyone to their latest 5G supported modem, the Balong 5000. To make things more interesting, the Balong 5000 5G modem will not only be the company’s first 5G device but it will also be implemented into the company’s first foldable smartphone.

Today, Huawei is proud to announce two new products that will usher in the new age of Internet connectivity. The first one is the 5G multi-mode chipset Balong 5000 and the other, the Huawei 5G CPE Pro as the first commercial 5G device. With this in hand, wireless connections between our smartphones, home appliances, office, vehicles and others at one-go will be made possible in the future.
