Based on a statement by gizchina, it seems that Huawei could be planning to release a curved screen gaming monitor in the future to take on Xiaomi. Other than that, there were also reports which hint that Huawei also wants to outsource non-curved gaming monitors to BOE’s subsidiary which is BOEVT.

Huawei just can't seem to catch a break these days. First, it was the US government disallowing their devices to feature Google Mobile Services, then banning their affiliated companies and partners to receive tech components. Now, it's Sony's turn to suspend their camera supplies to Huawei.

Based on a statement by a weibo user, it seems that Huawei could be releasing a PC that’s equipped with their very own Kunpeng processor sometime in the near future. While not much is known in regards to the exact release date, we can safely assume that the PC will most likely be unveiled in China first before other regions.

Based on a statement by letsgodigital, it seems that a patent from Huawei may have been leaked, hinting that they might be working on a smartphone equipped with a periscope zoom lens as well as an in-display camera sensor. While there is no official information in regards to the Malaysia release date, this does signify that Huawei doesn’t seem to be backing down from the smartphone business yet.

Following the official announcement of HarmonyOS 2.0 by Huawei last night (finally), the Chinese smartphone brand has also launched a HarmonyOS website for developers to download. Available in both Mandarin and English, the software is introduced as a customizable and open-source OS where developers can download for free to work on it.

Although the trade ban looks like it's the death of HUAWEI, the company is actually coming up with a lot of new plans to counter the challenges. To deal with not able to use Google Services anymore, the Chinese tech giant still have their HarmonyOS that continues to be big. Today, the president of HUAWEI's consumer business software department Wang Chenglu has announced the exciting future plan for the operating system at the 2020 Huawei Developer Conference.

Apart from not able to use Google Services and work with various chip suppliers from the U.S., HUAWEI is now facing another new challenge. Today, it is reported that Samsung and LG have both decided to stop supplying display to the Chinese manufacturer.

At the IFA 2020, HUAWEI was supposed to announce the world's first commercial 5nm mobile processor at their keynote that happened on 3 September. However, it looks like the plan has changed as the 5nm process (a.k.a Kirin 1000) was nowhere to be found. It is reported that HUAWEI is trying to stay low profile to avoid drawing unnecessary attention.
