Amid the fallout from the ongoing trade war between the US and China, numerous countries including India, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Sweden, and the UK have bowed to Washington’s pressure and banned the Chinese telecom giant Huawei, citing national security concerns rooted in allegations its 5G kit could be used to spy for Beijing.

HiSilicon, Huawei Technologies Co’s integrated circuit (IC) design unit, is expected to be the biggest loser in the 5G smartphone chipset market in 2021 as US company Qualcomm and Taiwan’s MediaTek expand their presence, according to a new research note published by Counterpoint.
The Chinese chip firm had 23 per cent of the 5G phone chipset market in 2020, but it is expected to see that share shrink to less than 5 per cent this year. Its share of overall global smartphone chipsets, which includes 4G, is expected to shrink from 10 per cent in 2020 to about 3 per cent this year, dropping out from the top five players, according to Counterpoint.

Huawei’s Mate X2 features an 8-inch screen when opened out and a 6.45-inch one when closed. It’s powered by the company’s own 5G Kirin 9000 chip and came days after Huawei’s billionaire founder Ren Zhengfei vowed to keep its smartphone business, dismissing reports China’s largest tech company is considering selling the business because of US restrictions.
Once the world’s biggest smartphone maker, Shenzhen-based Huawei’s shipments plunged in past months after its inventory of chips dried up. It’s been forced to dig into its stores to power flagship devices for 2021, after Washington cut it off from American technology and key chip-making suppliers like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.
