Since U.S President D. Trump blacklisted Huawei Technologies, the number of components that Huawei can buy from the U.S companies has significantly declined. So how will the Huawei P30 Pro, the flagship had been launched before this saga began, be affected?
Recently, Nikkei has carried out a teardown of the Huawei P30 Pro, which reveals that 0.9% of the P30 Pro’s components are made in the U.S. In other words, 15 out of the total of 1,631 parts are from the U.S.
However, these parts took up 16.3% of the overall production cost or US$59.36 (roughly Rs. 4,000) out of US$363.83 (roughly Rs. 25,000). Some of the more typical parts from the U.S listed in the P30 Pro teardown are Micron’s DRAM, communication semiconductors of Qorvo and Skyworks, and Corning’s Gorilla Glass.
It remains unknown whether the Chinese tech giant has changed all the P30 Pro’s components due to the U.S trade ban. However, it was said to have already stockpiled components before being blacklisted to the U.S Entity List. Also, some U.S firms are reported to be taking advantage of a legal loophole to continue to sell parts to Huawei.
In any way, the U.S parts obviously account for a small percentage of the total Huawei P30 Pro’s components. However, these part are quite valuable, therefore, the Chinese tech giant will need to develop its own parts or seek alternative suppliers in case the trade ban is still valid and the legal loopholes are sealed.
For further information, as per the Huawei P30 Pro teardown, the phone is powered by a Chinese chipset built by HiSilicon, a Huawei’s subsidiary. While the NAND flash memory is from Samsung, the sensors are made by Sony. In addition, the handset’s lithium-ion battery is from Hong Kong and the antenna duplexer are developed by Kyocera and other Japanese firms like TDK.
