"At IFA this year, all eyes are on Huawei. The pending trade war is escalating and they're launching their new phone at the end of the month in Munich. And the question is there: is this going to be the first casualty of the trade war? And we're going to be looking at Huawei at their press event to see signs of what's coming."

"So, I guess the big question is, what kind of operating system will the Mate 30 run if they can't run Android? A few months ago, we saw Harmony OS, which is the OS they've been working on, but running on a TV. They say they're ready to be able to just implement that on a smartphone, but of course there are other questions that need to be answered. Will there be apps in time? Right now, if they can't get Google, they might not be able to launch that phone."

"Huawei has a lot of other businesses. So, I'm sure they will be fine without their smartphone business, for now. But, of course, it's a big blow to their entire business. And it's also a big blow to users. Let's not forget about who really is at the losing end of this US-China trade war."

"2019 is definitely the year of uncertainty. And there's no doubt that the tech industry is facing that full force. We're unsure how everyone will weather the trade war, but there will be winners and there will be losers. If we look at Samsung, they've already pulled their manufacturing out of China, to Vietnam, years ago. So, they may be a winner. Whereas Huawei and Apple may potentially become losers."
