At the moment, Huawei is holding a new product launch conference at Wuhan Optics Valley International Tennis Center. At the event, we are waiting for a few new products to be announced. Of course, the most anticipated is the Nova 5 series devices. Before that though, Huawei’s consumer product line president He Gang took to the stage to announce that the company had successfully achieved 100 million sales on the 30th of May.

This is absolutely mind blowing from a numbers standpoint. To put this into perspective, this would mean that every 1 second, Huawei sells more than 7 smartphones worldwide. This is also 49 days faster than last year, which shows Huawei is still growing at a pretty speedy rate.

We’re eager to see how much more the company can grow later in 2019. Huawei’s strong first quarter performance is clearly not affected by the ban. Whether the company can continue this momentum remains to be seen, though it’s quite likely we’ll see these numbers go lower. After all, even Huawei have been less optimistic lately, which is quite a shame.

We’re still eager to see how the company continues from this point onwards. Later today we’ll be seeing the official Huawei Nova 5 launch, as well as their new tablets. How they’ll effect Huawei’s future sales, we’ve no clue, but we hope for the best that nothing too bad happens to the company. It’s quite sad to see, but things aren’t all bad at the very least.
