Huawei had tried to cooperate with AT&T and the U.S. mobile payment company to sell mobile phones. However, the United States stated that it was very worried about the 'security issues of Huawei mobile phones' and that it was ultimately unsuccessful. In February of this year, U.S. electronics retailer Best Buy also announced the termination of sales of Huawei products, including mobile phones, laptops, watches, etc.
According to the US CNBC website, Yu Chengdong believes that competitors are using some 'political measures' to allow Huawei to withdraw from the US market. He said: 'They can't compete with us in terms of products, technology, and innovation. Then they can only use politics. Means to pin down us. '
On the day of the release of the new mobile phone, a reporter asked whether Huawei’s competitors such as Apple and Samsung are very strong, and the United States continues to implement trade protectionism and fears that its market share will decline. The answer of Huawei’s consumer business group’s CEO is : 'Even without the U.S. market, we can become the world's top mobile phone manufacturer.'
On March 27, after Huawei released a new mobile phone, Yu Chengdong, the CEO of the company, was interviewed by the media about the challenges faced by Huawei mobile phones in the U.S. market. It was more cautious. According to him, for now, it is still difficult to make a conclusion. Said that although in the next two years, Huawei will become the second largest manufacturer in the smart phone market, but this is not his primary goal. He believes that Huawei will strive to become a top mobile phone manufacturer and lead the most advanced smart phone technology. .
At the same time, Yu Chengdong pointed out that for example, the Leica three camera lens adopted by the newly released P20 Pro has excellent performance and fine shooting. This is a technical innovation and it is also achieved by overcoming all difficulties. According to him, “This is a technology. The huge leap in innovation, this is no longer an ordinary replacement, but a revolution in mobile phones. The development of these two new phones took us nearly two and a half years, and for this we have invested millions. Research and development funding. '
In addition, he mentioned that Huawei's Kirin 970 chip is also an important breakthrough and can provide artificial intelligence services for smartphones. In October last year, Huawei released Mate 10, said that its chip's NPU enables mobile phones to remember Some of the user's behavioral features, such as handwriting recognition, web browsing habits, etc., can better comply with user habits. This time, the function was extended to the newly released Huawei P20 and P20 Pro cameras, which can be used when taking pictures. Focusing, recommending the best camera angle. According to Yu Chengdong, Huawei has invested a lot of research and development funds for the further innovation of Kirin chips, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, but he would not reveal more details about the next generation of new models.
Huawei owns Hass Semiconductor Co., Ltd., an independent proprietary chip manufacturing company. Its chips are all independently developed and produced. This has always been a major competitive advantage for Huawei. The chip subsidiary was established in 1994 and was officially named Hass in 2004. Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
When media reporters suggested that Huawei sell its self-manufactured chips to other mobile phone manufacturers and sell the processors like Samsung did, Yu Chengdong rejected the proposal. He pointed out: 'The current mobile phone manufacturing industry is still in a consolidation phase. The ultimate top producer may be Apple, Samsung, or possibly Huawei. Why should we sell our core products to competitors? 'He told AsiaNews that they are not trying to control other things through the lens or mobile screen. Competitors, what their competitors are doing, need to be considered. For example, in February of this year, there were reports that Apple had developed microscopic LED screens at a secret California factory. To that end, he explained: 'Our core Technology, such as chips, is completely self-developed, but we also need to cooperate with our peers. It is destined to be difficult to achieve.
