Huawei will launch its next-generation flagship phone, the Mate40 series, with its Kirin chip in September, Huawei Consumer Business CEO Richard Yu said.
At an event today, he also said that Huawei's world-leading Kirin series of chips could not be manufactured after September 15 due to US sanctions.
Here are all the leaks about the upcoming Huawei Mate40 series
Yu calls for building a new ecosystem starting from root technology.
In semiconductors, Huawei will be rooted in all aspects, breaking through basic research and precision manufacturing in physics and materials science, he said.
In terminal devices, Huawei is investing heavily in materials and core technologies to achieve a close linkage between new materials and new processes, breaking through bottlenecks that constrain innovation.
Yu said there are few successful cases of Chinese applications overseas, and breakthroughs require software and hardware ecology.
He also said that Huawei's consumer business generated 255.8 billion yuan in sales in the first half of the year and shipped 105 million mobile phones worldwide.
He predicted that Huawei's full-year shipments of mobile phones could be less than the 240 million units in 2019, due to difficulties in chip supply.
Yu also said that Huawei's notebooks grew 120 percent in the second quarter and true wireless headsets grew 50 percent year-on-year.
