At the Huawei Global Analyst Conference, the China-based giant has announced its 5G roadmap. As per the company’s plans, the Huawei Mate X — the company’s first foldable as well as first 5G smartphone, will be launched in June this year.
The report further states that the China-based company also has plans to launch another 5G smartphone in October this year. This could be Huawei’s third 5G smartphone after the Mate X and Mate 20 X 5G that was recently announced.
The news about Mate X launching in June this year, as it was previously confirmed, comes at a time when the launch of Samsung Galaxy Fold has been postponed because of issues related to the phone’s display.
Further, the company says that the first Huawei wireless CPE will be launched around June this year, and will be followed by the launch of a mobile Wi-Fi router later this year. There’s a possibility that the upcoming Mate 30 series and Nova series could also have 5G compatible smartphone models.
The development about the 5G roadmap comes just a day after Huawei announced its financials for the Q1 2019. It reported that the financials of the first quarter of this year stands at 179.7 billion yuan, which represents a 39 percent year-on-year growth.
Further, the company has revealed that it managed to ship 59 million units of its smartphones in the first quarter that ended in March 2019. This is a significant development given that Huawei has set the target of shipping over 250 million smartphones this year.
