Huawei sub-brand Honor is working to strengthen its relationship with MediaTek and plans to use its 5G chipsets in future Smartphones. This comes after parent company Huawei`s ban to do business with US companies was extended for another year, and the US Commerce Department announced new rules which severely limits Huawei`s access to chipsets, reports GSMArena.

As part of new trade sanctions, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) will no longer be allowed to supply components to Huawei. Therefore, the company is looking to strengthen its relationship with MediaTek which is based in Taiwan.
