Huawei's voluntary abandonment of Leica is not a bad thing, but a good thing, and it has taken another step towards full localization.

The news of Xiaomi's cooperation with Leica shocked the technology circle. Before this, Leica had always cooperated with Huawei. Leica is the best camera brand in the world. In the past, it was generally unknown to non-senior enthusiasts. However, with the success of Huawei, Leica has actually become a household name in China.

Many people who have used Huawei phones know that Huawei is very good at taking photos, and Leica cameras are one of the keys. So why did Huawei destroy its own Great Wall and give up cooperation with Leica? Is it because Huawei is under financial pressure after being sanctioned, which led to Xiaomi snatching Leica away as a partner?

Although Huawei's operating profit declined last year, it still maintained profitability. In fact, from a broader perspective, Huawei's abandonment of cooperation with Leica is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing. This means that Huawei has taken another step towards full localization.

After the chip sanctions, Chinese companies are increasingly aware of the core of core parts. Many auto companies have been affected by the Shanghai epidemic, but BYD has not been affected much, because BYD has developed many of its own products. Many people also say that if foreign countries impose sanctions on Chinese cars now, only BYD can withstand it.

If the US gave Huawei another five years, the result would be completely different. However, the US blocked Huawei's chips at a critical time of its rise, putting Huawei in a difficult situation. However, under the leadership of Ren Zhengfei, Huawei was very tenacious. They thought of many ways. On the one hand, they did not stop chip research. Although the Kirin chip could not find a foundry for the time being, they were still researching 3NM technology. This is the most advanced chip in the world.

In fact, in terms of design capabilities, Huawei is already the world's top, but China does not have a complete industrial chain, and Huawei alone cannot solve so many problems. Now Huawei is still working hard, and they have to make all preparations. If one day foreign industrial chains can manufacture for Huawei, then their chips will still be the world's top. Secondly, if domestic lithography machines can make breakthroughs, then Huawei can continue to maintain its lead.

Some time ago, Yu Chengdong revealed a piece of news. He said that Huawei mobile phones are back and the supply problem of Huawei mobile phones will be greatly improved this year. Everyone can buy their favorite Huawei mobile phones.

Yu Chengdong did not say it explicitly, but this should prove that the chip supply problem for Huawei mobile phones has been solved. Although Kirin chips still cannot be outsourced, at least Huawei can now buy chips from companies such as Qualcomm.

Since there is no breakthrough in chips for the time being, Huawei has made many breakthroughs in other places. For example, another key is the camera. On August 19, 2021, Huawei submitted a patent document called "Aperture, Camera Module and Electronic Device" to the World Intellectual Property Organization. The news said that Huawei has been working hard to develop its own camera for a long time. Now that Huawei has given up cooperation with Leica, it also shows that Huawei's self-developed camera has made a huge breakthrough.

Huawei has previously used self-developed cameras on some of its models. With the advancement of technology, it is estimated that Huawei will soon use self-developed cameras on high-end models as well.
