It is worth mentioning here that Huawei as a brand comprises an affordable sub-brand called Honor that helps boosts the sales of the brand notably, hence the results.

Over 60% of customers of the brand come from China. The high rate of shipment of the phones in the region is expected as they provide direct access to Google Play Services on new devices.

Chinese masterminds must be applauded for choosing far more global appeal as the world watches them expand much further beyond their traditional borders.

However, the newest deadly coronavirus will affect the sales of the brand greatly in the region.
