Nikkei Asia reported on July 14, 2026, that Huawei plans to produce up to 60 million smartphones this year, a more than 20 percent increase from under 50 million units shipped in the prior year, while recovering from U.S. export controls during an ongoing memory chip crunch. IDC data cited by Bloomberg indicates both Huawei and Apple are gaining share in China due to the same component constraints. The plans rely on anonymous sources briefed on the matter.
