Smartphones Huawei Mate 40 at risk of delay until next year due to sanctions

As a reminder, from tomorrow, suppliers such as TSMC and Samsung will stop cooperating with Huawei due to US sanctions. A fresh leak reports that the flagship smartphones of the Mate 40 series may only enter the market next year. This was announced by a reputable insider Evan Blass (Evan Blass). In addition, he claims that the P50 series smartphones, which are expected to launch next spring, may also be delayed.

Recall that last year, the European market for the Mate 30 series was delayed by about two months due to problems caused by the inability to use Google software. But in China, where Google services have been unavailable for a long time, the devices were released on time. Blass suggests that this year the situation could be repeated due to problems with the supply of components for smartphones.

Thus, the new flagships of Huawei may not hit the market until next year. The only detail that remained unclear is whether the delay is related to the launch of smartphones in general, or only to their entry into the global market. It is likely that in China they will start on schedule. According to renowned analyst Ross Young, the official presentation of the Huawei Mate 40 is scheduled for October.
