The Huawei Mate 40 series will be the company’s last flagship smartphone for now due to the U.S. ban. This means that there will be a significant decline in its smartphone shipment. However, the company is now accelerating its efforts in high-profit IoT categories such as PCs and smart screens. Earlier, there were reports that Huawei had launched the “Nanniwan” project to avoid products containing US technology. The project includes accelerating the promotion of notebook computers and smart screen business. These two categories will not include American technology.
