There is another panic in the mobile community, provoked by a media report that Google
What is the fate of Huawei?
Google, according to Reuters, is preparingdeal a crushing blow to Huawei. Namely, all ties with the Chinese manufacturer will be suspended.

However, it is also noted that Huawei does not want to use its own operating system.

Before the ban, ZTE was the fourth largest smartphone maker in the US, but dropped out of the list after the ban was introduced and never returned.
US moves against Huawei come amid...big trade war between the US and China. Last week, the president raised tariffs on hundreds of billions of Chinese imports from 10% to 25%.
