Huawei‘s Mate 30 Pro may not be the most desirable phone on the planet, but in China it’s apparently doing extremely well. A new report claims Huawei has already sold 1 million units of the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro since the phones went on sale in China on September 26. This is pretty impressive considering they achieved it in less than a week, and that’s not even the end of it.
Apparently, Huawei managed to reach this goal in the span of a three hours, as Richard Yu made the announcement during the opening of a Huawei flagship store in Shenzhen a couple of days ago. Including the online orders, Huawei was bringing in CNY 500 million a minute, implying a rate of 100,000 sales per minute. Those are some pretty big numbers.

One of the biggest reasons for the Mate 30 Pro’s immense popularity in China so far is surely because the phone’s lack of Google support isn’t a big deal. Most Android phones sold in the region don’t come pre-installed with Google Play Services, so this is essentially non-detrimental to the average Chinese user.
Huawei has already declared it wants to ship 20 million Mate 30 devices this year, and though it remains to be seen if they can achieve that goal. The release of the Mate 30 in Europe has been delayed due to the recent US ban of Huawei’s products, though we’re definitely more than eager to see how it’ll perform once it eventually launches.
