Huawei Installs Overseas Memory in Various Smartphones and Tablet Products
Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Domestic Memory Included
Also Equipped with US Micron and Japan Kioxia Products
It has been claimed that Huawei not only equipped its new smartphone model released last month but also various devices introduced in recent years with overseas memory products.
On the 25th (local time), Taiwan's Digitimes reported that Huawei incorporated products from major global memory companies such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, US-based Micron, and Japan's Kioxia into smartphones and tablet PCs released over the past few years. It was also explained that Chinese memory companies YMTC and CXMT products were not included. Major memory companies, including domestic firms, have ceased transactions since 2020 when the US began imposing full-scale sanctions on Huawei.
According to various reports analyzed by Digitimes, Huawei's past smartphone models, the Mate40 Pro and Mate50 Pro, included Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix mobile DRAM (LPDDR5), respectively. Huawei's tablet PC products, the MatePad 11 and MatePad 11 Pro, adopted DRAM from Micron and Samsung Electronics.
