Huawei reportedly asks Samsung, SK Hynix for supply of chips
    2020-05-26  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

HUAWEI Technologies Co. has asked Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc. for a stable memory chip supply despite apparently mounting pressure from the United States to isolate the telecom company, the Korea Economic Daily reported.

The Shenzhen-based company called in senior officials at the two South Korean chipmakers’ Chinese units to request a stable supply of the chips regardless of the recent U.S. Government move, the report said, quoting unidentified industry sources.

Huawei is one of the five biggest clients for Samsung and SK Hynix, spending around 10 trillion won (US$8.1 billion) to buy DRAM and NAND flash memory chips from the Korean companies every year, the newspaper said.

The request came amid rising pressure against global suppliers after U.S. President Donald Trump barred any chipmaker using American equipment from supplying Huawei without U.S. government approval.

While memory chip makers aren’t subject to the U.S. Government restrictions, Huawei worries that the Trump administration could widen its restrictions later, according to the report.

As of the end of March, shipments of Huawei’s 5G smartphones amounted to 15 million units, topping the rankings with a 55.4 percent share in China, said Sheng Xing, vice president of Huawei’s consumer business mobile phone product line.

In the global market, Huawei ranked second after Samsung, accounting for 33.2 percent of the market with its shipment reaching 8 million units in the first three months, data from market intelligence firm Strategy Analytics showed.

So far, Huawei has released more than 19 models of 5G phones, Sheng said.
