TOKYO -- Honor, Huawei Technologies' low-end smartphone unit, plans to increase production by 40%, to about 100 million units, in 2021 and has sounded out U.S. parts makers about supplies, Nikkei has learned.
Huawei spun off the brand last month in an attempt to get around a U.S. export ban. Now as the unit plans to boost production, uncertainties linger as to whether it will be able to procure parts -- a matter that can only be settled by a decision from the U.S. government.
