According to the information coming from DigitalChatStation, Huawei has successfully obtained a supply license for Snapdragon SM8325 and SM7315 processors. On the other hand, the company is working to get the SM8450 processor next year.

Huawei Snapdragon Use:

One of the major steps taken by Huawei on this matter includes HarmonyOS’ adaptation of the Snapdragon chipset.

The company has successfully adopted Qualcomm processor for its HM OS operating system environment, which is a good sign and further enhances the quality of Huawei smartphones.
