Huawei recently launched its flagship smartphones in the form of Huawei Mate 30 series, which has been very popular in its home market China. The phone went on sale last month, i.e. September and earlier this month, it was reported that the company managed to sell over a million units of the same.
Now, He Gang, President of Huawei’s Consumer Business and Mobile Product Line has said that the sale of flagship Huawei Mate 30 series is expected to reach 10 million units by the end of this year, before the Spring Festival.
Additionally, he has also revealed that the company’s total smartphone shipments are expected to be around 240-250 million for the current year. The 4G version of the Mate 30 series went on sale last month while the 5G variants are set to go on sale next month.
This seems like a major achievement for the company which has been hit by a ban by the United States, barring the company from using any technology from the US-based firms. That’s the reason Mate 30 series comes without support for Google apps and services.
While the lack of support isn’t a big deal for the Chinese market given that most Android phones in the region comes without support for Google Play services, access to Google apps and services is vital in other regions.
