The US government is investigating the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, a Chinese smartphone featuring a new 5G Kirin 9000S processor developed specifically for Huawei. This custom-built chip marks a significant achievement for Huawei as it surpasses the US restrictions on its mobile business. Citing national security concerns, the US imposed punitive measures on the firm. The sanctions include a ban on US companies selling software and equipment to Huawei since 2019.
