Huawei launches new smartphones without 5G 

 Huawei on Thursday launched its new P50 and P50 Pro smartphones without support for super-fast 5G internet.

5G phones are “beyond our reach” due to U.S. trade restrictions, Huawei’s Richard Yu said.

It’s a sign of the toll that U.S. sanctions and a global chip shortage are taking on the Chinese tech firm.
  • Huawei on Thursday unveiled its new P50 smartphone line, which lacks support for super-fast 5G internet, as the Chinese tech giant grapples with both U.S. sanctions and a global chip shortage.

    Huawei mobile handsets have started dying | Weekly Blitz  The company is launching two models: the P50 and a more expensive P50 Pro. Huawei’s P series is mainly known for its cutting-edge camera tech, and the P50 lineup builds on that with two huge circular camera units.

    On the P50, the main camera module has three lenses: a 50-megapixel large sensor, a 40MP monochrome lens and a 13MP super-wide angle lens. The second one uses a 64MP telephoto lens capable of 3.5 times optical zoom. Huawei says this lets users zoom in 200 times.

    However, neither model supports 5G mobile networks, instead coming with a 4G chipset from Qualcomm. It’s a sign of how trade curbs imposed by the administration of former U.S. President Donald Trump continue to impact the firm.

    Last year, Washington introduced restrictions which meant foreign manufacturers using U.S. technology would need to get a license to sell semiconductors to Huawei. Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business group, had warned Huawei could run out of its own high-end Kirin chips, which are manufactured by Taiwanese firm TSMC.
