Institution: Huawei sold 1.6 million Mate 60 Pro phones within six weeks
A research institution stated that Huawei sold 1.6 million Mate 60 Pro phones within six weeks, withstanding the pressure of a slowdown in the smartphone market and enjoying strong demand from the revival of high-end smartphones.
The Counterpoint Research research institute stated that over 400000 of them were completed in the past two weeks, during the period when Apple launched the iPhone 15 series in China.
Counterpoint stated that the sales of the iPhone 15 series decreased by 4.5% compared to the iPhone 14 series in the first 17 days of its launch, but did not provide specific data.
Huawei unexpectedly launched a high-end Mate 60 Pro phone in late August, and many analysts said that the phone uses the Kirin 9000S chip, marking the company's breakthrough in facing years of technical sanctions from the United States.
Ivan Lam, a senior analyst at Counterpoint, said that the demand for this phone is high and it is quickly sold out upon arrival, "creating the illusion of perpetual shortage".
Due to weak demand from major brands, the global smartphone market as a whole shrank by 8% in the third quarter, reaching its lowest level in a decade. Huawei, Honor, and Chuanyin are the only brands that achieved year-on-year growth during the same period.
According to data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), China's smartphone shipments remained basically unchanged in August, with a year-on-year increase of 0.03% to 18.985 million units.
