The arrival of the Mate 70 series is both a joyful and challenging moment for Huawei. According to Huawei CBG CEO He Gang, the series received 6.7 million reservations, suggesting the lineup’s early success. However, due to the high number, the executive also revealed that the brand is facing some challenges in meeting the demand.
The Huawei Mate 70 was launched last month and hit the shelves on Thursday. The lineup price starts at CN¥5499 for the 12GB/256GB configuration of the vanilla Mate 70 model. Meanwhile, the 16GB/1TB version of the Huawei Mate 70 RS model tops the line at CN¥12999.
In a recent interview, He Gang shared that the series was warmly welcomed by fans in China, resulting in over 6.7 million reservations. The executive admitted that the current supply is insufficient but promised that the group is working to address the situation.
“Due to the excessive demand, the initial supply is still slightly insufficient,” He Gang shared. “The supply chain team is working overtime and going all out to produce what can be produced at the earliest and bring it to consumers.”
He also underscored the company’s actions to prevent scalpers from raising the prices of the products by requiring a Huawei account or ID card from buyers. This prevents such illegitimate sellers from purchasing multiple units from various stores.
