Huawei launches Mate 90 with homegrown chips amid market slowdown

Huawei introduced its Mate 90 series smartphones featuring its own LogicFolding chip on October 1, 2026, aiming to regain overseas market share. The company’s CEO Richard Yu emphasized plans to expand HarmonyOS internationally and develop self-sufficient chip manufacturing to support future device sales outside China. This marks Huawei’s first engagement with foreign media since 2019, when U.S. sanctions severely restricted its access to key technologies.
