Huawei has been trying to make smartphones with one hand tied behind its back
Huawei was placed on the Entity List which prevented it from accessing its U.S. supply chain without obtaining special licenses. Without the ability to work with Google, the company scrambled to complete work on its HarmonyOS which replaced the Google Mobile Services (GMS) version of Android. And the following year, Huawei was banned from receiving cutting-edge chips made by any foundry that uses U.S. gear to produce the components.

The configuration of the Kirin 9000s includes:
- Two Cortex-A34 low-power efficiency CPU cores.
- Six customized Cortex-A78AE CPU cores.
- Four Cortex-A510 efficiency CPU cores.

It would be interesting to see what the reason is for all of this secrecy because this should be a moment for Huawei to proudly explain how it outsmarted all of those countries that wanted to permanently bury its smartphone operations.
