Should it be “has” instead of “have”?

Huawei’s range of smartphones have become an increasingly popular choice for tech lovers around the world, with the notable exception of the US – in fact, the company sells more smartphones than anyone other than Samsung.

Should it be “has” instead of “have”?

Thanks.

Though what actually becomes increasingly popular is the smartphones, the grammar demands that it be structured with the singular verb to agree with “Huawei’s range”.
