Huawei is number two in the smartphone development and vending world. Samsung still holds the number one position. Huawei can’t sell its new P40 series in the United States, so it’s doubtful the Chinese tech giant will knock Samsung out of first place.

Despite President Trump blacklisting, and his effort to convince other countries to stay away from Huawei’s products, the company continues to thrive thanks to a strong presence in the Asian and European markets. Huawei 5G infrastructure is the 5G platform most countries want to use. The Swiss checked out Trump’s claim that the company spies for the Chinese government. But Swiss researchers found no evidence Huawei puts a backdoor in its apps for spying purposes.


Smartphone tipster Ishan Agarwal spilled the smartphone beans before the March 26th launch of the P40 series. According to Mr. Agarwal, the P40 Pro has an incredible quad rear camera setup that includes a 50-megapixel main sensor. Plus, there’s a 40-megapixel secondary sensor, a 12-megapixel tertiary sensor, and a 3D ToF sensor.

Mr. Agarwal also said the P40 Pro is not the only smartphone in Huawei’s stable of phones to have those upgrades. The P40 Pro Plus 5G is another new phone that whets the appetite of phone aficionados. The P40 Pro Plus 5G comes with a ceramic back instead of glass. Plus, the front and back sides have that curved feature. Ishan said the 5G model will also have a 6.7-inch display.

Huawei seems to in good shape, even though the coronavirus did an economic number on China. China’s economy is still in the toilet. According to Chinese economists, economic growth will stay there for at least another quarter. Strong Gross Domestic Product growth in China depends on an efficient and productive manufacturing sector, as well as smooth running import-export business. Supply chains and the transportation industry still haven’t recovered from the tariff war. The coronavirus pandemic exacerbated an already weakened economy. China’s economy will continue to suffer until the world recovers from the pandemic, according to the New York Times.

The President’s nerves are on edge thanks to the pandemic. Trump sent a tweet that said he might cancel social distancing at the end of the month in order to kick start the U.S. economy. But health officials around the world think that’s a bad idea. Hong Kong tried to do the same thing. But the coronavirus came back and hurt the country’s economic recovery.
