It was reported that the Huawei Mate 40 might be delayed due to the Pandemic situation. But recently, it was said (by Cailian News Agency) that the phone will be launched according to every year’s schedule.
Today, at the 2020 China Informatization Conference, Huawei Consumer BG CEO Richard Yu said that Huawei’s consumer business sales revenue in the first half of the year amounted to CNY 255.8 billion, and the global cell phone shipments amounted to 105 million units. According to his predictions, sales may be lower than in 2019 (i.e., 240 million units) due to difficulties in chip supply.
In addition, there is news that Huawei plans to launch a new version of the Huawei P40 in the same month. The upcoming new version of the Huawei P40 will use the Kirin chipset. It is still not confirmed whether the new Huawei P40 will be in a new color scheme or a new version of the Huawei P40.
At today’s event, Richard Yu revealed that Huawei’s laptop sales increased 120% year-on-year in Q2, and its true wireless headphones sales increased 50% year-on-year.
