TrickyAfter the introduction of US sanctions, Chinese Huawei did not give up and continues to do business. To circumvent the restrictions, the company came up with a trick with the Hi Nova trademark. Discuss
The Hi Nova brand was launched in 2021 and is owned by the state-owned China Post. Now under this brand, smartphones have come out that are surprisingly similar to Huawei's Nova series devices.
The fact is that in 2019, China Post and Huawei signed a partnership agreement. It is easy to guess that Huawei itself was engaged in the development, manufacture and production of mobile devices, and the purchase of components was required from China Post. In this simple way, the company received the components it needed, in particular, 5G chips. In addition, Hi Nova smartphones are equipped with the latest version of Android with Google services.
An example of such a circumvention of sanctions was the Hi nova 9 Pro smartphone, a rebranding of Huawei Nova 9 Pro. It is equipped with a 6.72-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2676×1236 pixels with a refresh rate of 120Hz, Snapdragon 778G chipset and 100W fast charging.
