Huawei 's Mate 60 Pro has a chip that appears to support 5G.
This despite U.S. sanctions that have sought to cut the Chinese tech giant off from the technology.
The chip, made by China 's biggest semiconductor manufacturer SMIC , has sparked concern in Washington and raised questions about how it was possible.
But there is also scrutiny on whether the process being used to make these new chips is efficient enough to sustain a Huawei comeback.
SMIC is able to create 7 nm chips, but it's unclear how efficient, profitable and sustainable that is on a bigger scale.
SMIC's 7 nm manufacturing process has exposed some of the weaknesses in the U.S. 's export restrictions.
Washington may look at other areas of the chip design and manufacturing process to enact further restrictions.
Huawei 's sales fell off a cliff when it couldn't equip its smartphones with 5 G technology and latest chips.
