Latest Prices Of HUAWEI P30 Pro Phones Across The World After Ban

Huawei faces an uncertain future after being blacklisted by the U.S. Department of Commerce on May 15. The full impact of the ban is yet to be felt but the expected aftershocks will “take a decade for China to replace these capabilities,” atleast according to principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy Patrick Moorhead. The electronics powerhouse partnership with Google and Microsoft is in disarray and will affect its global sales in a big way. Already, Microsoft has removed Huawei laptops from its online store.

Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei has tried to downplay the ripple effects that will come with the U.S. decision to blacklist the largest provider of networking gear in the world on accusations of aiding spying on behalf of Beijing. So, what are the sales like following the U.S. decision to blacklist the number two smartphone vendor?
