Huawei has found itself in the midst of a global trade war, with the US President Donald Trump's administration fiercely campaigning against the participation of the Chinese telecommunication giant in the 5G rollouts of its allies on suspicion of China using Huawei equipment for spying on other nations.
The Huawei Nova 5i is priced at 1999 yuan (Rs 20,230) for 6GB RAM+128GB storage and will go on sale in China from 28th June.
The Huawei Nova 5 comes powered by the latest Kirin 810 SoC, while the Nova 5 Pro comes powered by Kirin 980 processor.
Huawei and its sub-brand HONOR are slated to get the Android Q operating system (OS) update despite the US ban on Huawei.
China urged India to make an "independent judgement" about Huawei's operations in the country without being guided by the US ban.
China's Foreign Ministry told IANS that Beijing expects India to take an "independent" view on Huawei's participation and asked it to be "fair" to the telecom equipment firm.
In a dialogue at Huawei's headquarters in Shenzhen with US futurist George Gilder and Nicholas Negroponte, Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei compared the firm to a "badly damaged" plane, estimating that the company's revenues could miss targets by around $30 billion this year and the next but he expects a revival in 2021.
Considering the US trade ban, Huawei looks at a massive $30 billion loss in revenue over the next two years, but this could hurt Google as well.
The Huawei Mate 30 Pro is likely to come with a refresh rate of 90Hz display and might feature a 5x optical zoom camera along with 50x digital zoom lens.
Huawei has developed its own OS called HongMeng OS that could be called the Ark OS for global markets and is 60 per cent faster than Android.
Google asks to be exempted from any Huawei ban, warning Donald Trump administration on the risk of compromising US national security.
Google also fears that the export ban would create a competitor to the US-made Operating Systems (OS), which would hurt the search engine giant's Android monopoly, Ars Technica reported on Friday.
The United States placed Huawei on an "entity list" on grounds of national security on May 16, a move that curbs its access to US-made components it needs for its equipment.
In reply to US President Donald Trump blacklisting Chinese tech giant Huawei, China has decided to blacklist 'unreliable' foreign firms, Sputnik International reported.

TSMC the world's largest contract chipset maker would continue to deliver critical semiconductors to Huawei Technologies even ARM has cut ties with the tech giant.
"I don't know how China can do this because I'll be honest, we are getting hundreds of millions of dollars brought into our country. We've never gotten USD 0.10. We are getting hundreds of billions of dollars coming into our country," said Donald Trump.
