In China, the phone that’s been set to take on Apple’s iPhone 16 is the Mate 70. Its predecessors from the Mate 60 (pictured above) did extremely well and reportedly sold over 30 million units in its first months.
It’s not just that it sold well. Huawei literally rose from the ashes with this 5G-ready phone that almost wasn’t supposed to exist! With the US putting the squeeze on Huawei and keeping some US officials tossing and turning, this surprise launch has definitely stirred the pot.
As a result, the company reported a dramatic increase in first-quarter earnings. Despite being hobbled by US sanctions, the struggling manufacturer had the last laugh, with its profits skyrocketing by an astounding 564% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2024.
That’s why all eyes are on the Mate 70 line. The expectations are high, especially given that Huawei Mate 70 line could surprise with energy efficient 5nm Kirin chipset.
