You told us: Most of you think the HUAWEI ban should be dropped altogether
June 03, 2025
It’s been over two years since the US instituted atrade ban against HUAWEI, citing security concerns to sanction the Chinese manufacturer’s networking and consumer divisions. This has resulted in the brand losing access to key suppliers (including chipmaking partner TSMC) as well as Google support.
The US just implementedanother lawtargeting HUAWEI (and others) last week, but we wondered whatAndroid Authorityreaders thought of the ongoing situation. We subsequently conducted a poll, and here’s how you voted.
Should the HUAWEI ban be tightened or loosened?
Our poll garnered just over 1,200 votes as of writing, and ~57% of respondents say the HUAWEI ban should be dropped altogether. This is understandable for HUAWEI fans in particular, as we’ve seen some fantastic hardware like theMate X2,Mate 40 Pro, andP50 series. So dropping the US ban would open the door for more chipset supplies and all-important Google integration.
Meanwhile, ~25% of polled readers were in favor of the ban actually being tightened. Finally, ~17% of respondents said the ban should be loosened rather than tightened or dropped altogether.
When you look at it another way, roughly 74% of polled readers are in favor of the HUAWEI ban being dropped or loosened. It all suggests that the current sanctions are mostly unpopular amongAndroid Authority‘s readers.
