Huawei unveiled its new Mate 90 smartphone series on October 1, leveraging its self-developed advanced chips based on the Tau Scaling Law to challenge US export curbs. The company aims for the Mate XT 2 model to achieve sales of over 1 million units, despite ongoing restrictions on accessing cutting-edge semiconductor technology from abroad. Huawei's consumer business chief Richard Yu noted that while the supply of advanced chips remains constrained, they are making significant progress in developing homegrown solutions. The Mate 90 series is set for release across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and possibly Europe, testing Huawei’s ability to sustain its smartphone lineup under continued US restrictions.
