REUTERS/Sergio Perez(Reuters) - Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei Technologies has asked Japanese firms including Murata Manufacturing and Toshiba Memory to increase supplies of smartphone components, the Nikkei reported on Wednesday. The move is believed to be aimed partly at preventing supply disruptions as the United States steps up pressure on Chinese technology companies over security concerns, the report said. Huawei has requested supply increases by early summer, when production of its latest smartphone is scheduled to go into full swing, the Nikkei reported, citing unnamed sources. Huawei and Toshiba Memory did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.

Render shows Huawei smartphone design with a slide-out, dual selfie camera

Some devices, of course, have tried to solve that problem with the introduction of a notch to house the relevant components. Other device-makers like Huawei, meanwhile, are trying something different — a slide-out system that can reveal hidden elements like the selfie camera, so that they don't have to take up precious real estate on the front. A Huawei design patent published on Friday in the Global Design Database of the World Intellectual Property Office shows Huawei following along the lines of companies like Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi in adding a retractable element into some of its smartphone plans. A color render prepared by Dutch tech blog LetsGoDigital, which can be seen at the top of this post, shows what is envisioned — when you extend the slide-out, for example, a dual selfie camera is revealed, with a flash in the middle. As we said, though, Huawei is certainly not alone in thinking along these lines.
