U.S. Sanctions:
Since May 2019, Huawei has been serving U.S. sanctions on all imports of products including chipset and other required components to make new products. On the other hand, it cannot access Google Mobile Services (GMS) as well as other Google apps that won’t be found in Huawei phones nowadays.
Following the ban, Huawei cannot print new Kirin chipsets via chipmakers such as TSMC and Samsung foundry. Therefore, it is facing a shortage of important processors to build new devices.
