Huawei Mate 30: Does not use US components

H Huawei replaced all American accessories, using its own alternatives or components made by companies based outside the USA.

Η  Huawei's announcement of the Mate 30 smartphone was overshadowed by its political implications, as the Trump administration banned US companies, including Qualcomm and Intel, from working with the Chinese giant. Following this move, there was a lot of gossip about whether Huawei would be able to build new devices.

The answer is now given, as according to her report Wall Street Journal The Mate 30 was built without the use of US components. This is according to an analysis by UBS and the Japanese technology lab Fomalhaut Techno Solutions, which stripped the phone and examined its components one by one.

Although Huawei has not completely stopped supplying components from US companies, both its Y9 Prime and Mate smartphones have a limited number of US components. And all the devices that were released from May onwards do not use any chips that have been made in the USA. Similar conclusions have been reached by iFixit and Tech Insights, which carefully examined the interiors of the company's new smartphones.

The truth is that the origin of the accessories used by Huawei in the Mate 30 is the last thing that concerns consumers, as the device does not have access to Google Play, so consumers are automatically deprived of popular services and applications such as YouTube and Google Maps.

Huawei has its own app store called AppGallery, which provides some alternatives, but most applications are poor imitations of popular Google applications and therefore have not been able to gain the trust of users. The company is also developing its own open-source operating system HarmonyOS, which is based on Android, but for the time being keeps its cards closed.
