On March 9th, reports from domestic media indicate that as of March 1st, the combined sales of the Huawei Mate 60 series and Mate X5 (foldable screen) have surpassed 10 million units.
The Huawei Mate 60 series was quietly released on August 29, 2023, while the Mate X5 was launched on September 8, 2023.
Currently, the supply of the Mate 60 series has significantly improved, and prices have also become more flexible. Third-party distributors have begun to reduce prices for the Mate 60.
According to quotes from third-party distributors, the Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ is priced 500 CNY lower than the official price, and the Mate 60 RS Porsche Design 512GB version is discounted by 1000 CNY. The relatively newer model, the Mate 60 Pro Luxury Edition, is priced at 7799 CNY, which is 100 CNY lower than the official price, and the Mate 60 Luxury Edition is sold at 6799 CNY.
Furthermore, the "ten-thousand-yuan foldable screen" Mate X5 from Huawei is no longer priced exorbitantly, with individual configurations being sold at prices lower than the official ones.
As of the end of January, some configurations of the Huawei Mate X5 were priced lower than the official ones through third-party channels, with the Mate 60 RS Porsche Design being "available without markup."
Not only through third-party channels, but also through Huawei's official channels, most configurations of the Mate 60 RS Porsche Design are readily available. While models like the Mate 60 Pro+ may not be fully stocked with all configurations, some versions are also available for purchase on the official website.
With the rise of domestic smartphones like Huawei, Apple's market share in China is rapidly declining. Previous data showed a 24% drop in iPhone sales in China during the first three weeks of 2024, which is indeed concerning.
