I didn't realize the effect would be so immediate. I thought it may affect next year's model but this current gen was fine.

If it affects current gen smartphones could it also affect current gen 5g equipment?

This would mean hauwei is essentially dead in the water.

I wonder if Huawei could sell their mobile business to BBK Electronics and avoid sanctions. BBK is already the second largest smartphone manufacturer after Samsung.

They don't want to sit on inventory, liquidity is important to them in this situation

I think they are doing this to not loose money. They will lose market share but I guess they can always get it back.

Interesting, I never heard of them. Could you back this up with some market data or more context?

This actually makes me wonder - what makes them unable to sell outside of Europe/USA? I heard of them being kicked out of SD/WiFi associations, but how does this affect them in China?

BBK Electronics owns OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo and Realme.

These brands are super popular in China, India, Vietnam and rest of South East Asia.
