Huawei is going through rough days due to the ongoing trade war. Google recently suspended Huawei Technologies license to use Android operating system services. Although, the search giant later extended support for 90 days. Huawei is working to fade away the impact of the US government’s trade embargo. Various companies like Intel, Google, Microsoft, Fedex have ceased ties with Huawei. The Chinese company is struggling to cope up with the sudden developments. However, Samsung has launched a promotional activity in Singapore to lure Huawei smartphone users.
Samsung introduced a new offer for Huawei customers to trade-in their smartphones for Galaxy S10 device. The interested users can get a discount of upto SG$755 (US$550 or 3,800 yuan) for Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Whereas, the Huawei P20 Pro can be exchanged for SG$560 (US$410 or 2,833 yuan) and P20 for SD$445 (US$325 or 2,245 yuan). Huawei Mate 20 is going for SG$545 (US$400 or 2,764 yuan) and Nova 3i for SG$300 (US$220 or 1520 yuan). The users can benefit from the promotional activity until May 31.
It is a welcome offer for the Huawei users, as the company’s future without Android looks quite dark.
Huawei smartphone sales have impacted a lot due to the ongoing trade war. Many carriers across the globe have postponed the launches of upcoming Huawei devices. Japan’s SoftBank Corp. and KDDI, Britain’s EE and Vodafone are among the carriers which are frisking away from the launch of new Huawei smartphones.
At present, the world’s second largest smartphone manufacturer’s operations have seized to 50% of the actual market. The recent developments have ruined Huawei’s plan to dethrone Samsung in the coming time.
To recover from the impact of the US ban, Huawei is now looking to raise $1 billion funds.
