In the face of various difficulties and sanctions, Huawei still insists on high investment in research and development, and strives to achieve its own rebirth. At the beginning of 2023, Huawei has launched three important initiatives that have attracted global attention. This series of actions not only made competitors nervous, but also made Western countries more afraid of Huawei. Huawei has gradually gained market recognition for its excellent technical and product strength, and has demonstrated strong competitiveness on a global scale.
The Huawei M9 claims to be the best SUV within 10 million, with a starting price of more than 46980,000 yuan, but still achieved a large order of 10,000 units within two hours of the press conference, which shows the enthusiasm of consumers. Subsequently, the number of reservations for the M9 gradually exceeded 20,000 units, and as of the end of New Year's Day, Dading had exceeded 3,000 units. On New Year's Day, in order to meet market demand, Huawei even extended the business hours of AITO user centers across the country to 24 o'clock in the evening. The success of the M9 lies not only in arousing the patriotic feelings of consumers, but also in its excellent configuration and performance. The M9 is equipped with Huawei's ADAS20 intelligent driving system, with high-speed and urban automatic assisted driving functions, to meet the needs of first-tier cities. Huawei excels in external environment perception, equipped with 12 ultrasonic radars, 7 millimeter-wave radars, and 192-line lidars. All M9 models are equipped with L2 level intelligent driving level.
The HarmonyOS has been successful on mobile phones, and Huawei is actively expanding it to more devices. As the influence of the HarmonyOS system increases, more manufacturers and developers have begun to pay attention to and support the system. Huawei's senior management delivered a series of speeches, focusing on the construction of the HarmonyOS ecosystem and providing a lot of information. According to the plan, the new HarmonyOSNev developer preview will be available to all developers in the first quarter of this year. In addition, Huawei also plans to hold an important HarmonyOS event on January 18 to detail the latest developments in the HarmonyOS ecosystem and HarmonyOSNEXT. In recent months, well-known domestic application developers have announced the start of the development of HarmonyOS native applications, and the HarmonyOS ecosystem is being initially established.
Huawei's Mate60 series phones are equipped with the new Kirin 9000S series chips, marking the return of Huawei's high-end mobile phones. Subsequently, Huawei launched the MatePad equipped with the Kirin 9000S chip. At the end of last year, the nova12 series mobile phones were equipped with Kirin 9000SL and Kirin 8000 chips, which verified the rapid iteration speed of the Kirin chip with the new architecture. Huawei has re-established the perfect combination of "Hongmeng Kirin" software and hardware, marking the full return of Huawei's mobile phones and the maturity of the domestic terminal chip industry chain. This series of measures has undoubtedly put enormous pressure on US Secretary of Defense Raimondo, who has repeatedly publicly expressed hostility to Huawei, but in the face of Huawei's technological breakthroughs, she may be unable to sleep at night.
At the beginning of 2023, Huawei has continuously launched three axe initiatives, demonstrating its strength and competitiveness. With more than 30,000 units, the M9 has won market recognition with its excellent configuration and intelligent driving system. The smooth progress of Huawei's HarmonyOS PC version has brought new opportunities for the development of the software ecosystem. The formation of the new architecture Kirin chip demonstrates the technical strength of Huawei's mobile phones. This series of victories not only allowed Huawei to gain a firm foothold in the domestic market, but also laid the foundation for future competition in the global market. Huawei's success is inseparable from years of continuous investment and accumulation of technology research and development, and its strength and innovation capabilities are impressive.
In this era full of opportunities and challenges, Huawei, as a representative of Chinese technology companies, has not only made great breakthroughs in technological innovation, but also played a driving role in global competition. Whether it's the excellent quality of hardware or the optimized experience of software, Huawei is constantly striving for excellence and innovation. Its success shows us the strength and potential of Chinese enterprises, and also sets an example for us.
In short, Huawei's continuous initiatives at the beginning of the year have demonstrated its technical strength and core competitiveness, and 2023 is destined to be a year full of challenges and opportunities for Huawei. Huawei will continue to uphold the concept of "Survival", adhere to R&D and innovation, and continue to promote scientific and technological progress to provide better products and services for users around the world. I believe that in the near future, we will see Huawei continue to shine on the global technology stage.
