Huawei’s newest flagship smartphone series, the Mate 70, managed to exceed expectations by attracting great attention in the Chinese market. According to information provided by reliable technology analyst “Digital Chat Station”, Huawei Mate 70 series showed a significant increase in sales within the first two weeks of its launch, surpassing its predecessor Mate 60.
Industry analysts predict that the Mate 70 series can easily exceed the 10 million sales threshold. This is described as an indicator of the interest and high demand that the series receives in the market. Unlike the Mate 60 series, the Mate 70 can better respond to consumers’ demands thanks to its advanced production capacity.
Despite increased production, demand for certain models of the Mate 70 series is still quite high. This causes some models to be resold in the second-hand market with significant price increases. In response to this extraordinary demand, Huawei decided to increase production by 30 percent. Such a large production increase further reinforces the performance of the series.
Although the standard model of the series is currently on sale, the Pro, Pro + and Ultimate Design versions continue to attract great attention. These models are only available by reservation and sell out quickly.
On the other hand, the Mate 60 series, which was surprisingly introduced last year, was also a great success. The series attracted attention by reaching 14 million sales between its launch and mid-November. However, supply problems experienced in the early periods may have prevented the series from revealing its full potential.
Huawei Mate 70 series pulls other models up
The Mate 70 series draws attention not only with its own success, but also with increasing sales of Huawei’s older models. The supply shortage for the Mate 70 series led many consumers to Huawei’s Pura 70 series, contributing to the total sales of this series exceeding 10 million units.
Huawei became Apple’s biggest rival in the Chinese market in the third quarter of 2024. Although other local manufacturers also managed to enter the top 10, their market shares remained lower than Apple. This makes Huawei Apple’s strongest rival.
