Huawei Mate XT, which opened for pre-order on the same day Apple introduced the iPhone 16 series, was in great demand despite its high price of 2800 dollars. The company, which has become the market leader in the folding phone market, is facing a huge explosion of demand in China. However, Chinese users who form long queues are very angry with Huawei. So what is this decision and how much will Huawei Mate XT sales be affected by this decision?
Scandalous decision for Huawei Mate XT sales
Huawei, which has had a hard time with the US embargo in recent years, rose from the ashes with the 5G processor surprise this year. The brand, which first took back the top spot in smartphone sales in China, has almost returned to its old days with the Huawei Pura 70 series.
Huawei Mate XT is the brand’s most expensive phone. In addition, the model has the title of the world’s first triple-foldable phone. The model attracted attention especially with more than 6 million pre-orders. Like the iPhone 16, the model, which went on sale in China on September 20, caused long queues.
However, those waiting in the queue faced a big shock when they entered the stores. Accordingly, customers who pre-ordered for Huawei Mate XT sales have priority. It is thought that the pre-order exceeded expectations in this decision of the brand.
What will the Huawei Mate 70 series look like? The latest details from China show that there will be a few changes to the design.
Accordingly, even Huawei did not think that the Mate XT model would receive so many pre-orders. It is estimated that the brand only has enough devices to meet the pre-order. Thousands of Chinese who waited in line and received the same answer from the stores are very angry about this decision.
