Huawei shipped 100m smartphones as of end-May
    2019-06-24  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

HUAWEI Technologies said Friday it has shipped 100 million smartphones this year as of May 30.

Huawei consumer business group’s smartphone product line president He Gang revealed the numbers at a launch event in Wuhan, Hubei Province, for its new Nova 5 phone. The phone is powered by Huawei’s new 7-nanometer chipset Kirin 810.

Founder and chief executive Ren Zhengfei said last week that the U.S. ban that bars U.S. firms from doing business with the Chinese company could cost the company US$30 billion in revenue this year, and that smartphone sales outside China already dropped 40 percent in the past month.

Huawei smartphone sales in Western Europe, however, have risen “in the past few days” as customers grow more confident the Chinese company will weather U.S. sanctions imposed last month, according to Walter Ji, Western Europe consumer business group president for Huawei.

Ji also said it was still unclear how new Huawei phones would be affected by the ban.

Ji told a news conference in Zurich on Friday that sales had risen “in the past few days” in Western Europe but he did not give figures or more details.

“People are starting to understand the reality,” Ji said. “In existing phones, which have been pre-loaded, it won’t be affected. In coming phones, we are not able to know the plan yet. We cannot predict what is going to happen tomorrow.”

The reported sales boost follows Huawei’s offer of guarantees to that current phones and apps would be supported.

Ji repeated that Huawei was committed to Google’s Android OS but said it was preparing alternatives just in case.

The company said this month it was in the process of potentially launching its “Hongmeng” OS.

Ji declined to say when Huawei’s foldable 5G Mate X smartphone would be released. The Shenzhen-based company earlier said it would delay the launch by three months to September.(SD-Agencies)
