Huawei, the known consumer electronics maker, is apparently planning on expanding its sales operations in Russia. The company will do so by opening over 50 new stores across the country in 2021.
A report from SputnikNews stated that the company made the announcement earlier this week. Huawei said that “In 2021, Huawei will continue to develop its retail network and will additionally open 50 branded stores in major Russian cities: St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk, Vladivostok and others.” Furthermore, the smartphone maker will also be growing its customer service capabilities in the region.

These new stores will showcase and sell all the latest products launched by the company, which includes smartphones, laptops, wearables, and other IoT (Internet of Things) products as well. At the moment, there are currently only 18 physical Huawei stores present in the country. So, this move will greatly increase the scale of its operating by a notable degree.
Interestingly, these new stores will also follow the company’s ‘1+8+N‘ device ecosystem strategy that it had previously announced earlier this year. The ‘1’ stands for its smartphones, while the ‘8’ stands for PC, tablet, TV, audio, glasses, watches, locomotives, and headphones. Lastly, the ‘N’ represents the mobile offices, smart homes, sports and health, audio-visual entertainment, and smart travel products.
