Huawei has faced huge challenges in the past three years, especially in the 5G mobile phone chip**, and had to temporarily withdraw from the 5G market and switch to 4G technology and chips from competitors. However, Huawei was not discouraged by this, but focused on independent research and development, launching Kirin chips and HarmonyOS operating systems, which have achieved remarkable results. The launch of Huawei's Mate60 series has helped Huawei regain market share in the high-end mobile phone market, and the data for the first two weeks of January 2024 shows that Huawei's mobile phone sales rank first in China.
Huawei's revival has benefited from the independent advantages of the HarmonyOS system and the application of innovative technologies, which have injected vitality into the market. According to data from research institutions, Huawei's global smartphone shipments increased by 44% year-on-year in Q3 2023, and more than 70% in Q4. Huawei has already achieved a leading position in the domestic market and is expected to return to the first place in the country in 2024.
Huawei announced that it will participate in MWC 2024 and release new technologies and products based on 5G-A. 5g-a, i.e. 55G, an enhanced version of 5G technology, provides faster and more stable network speeds. Huawei's dominance in the development of 5G technology has led to the global rollout of 55G technology is once again at the forefront of the industry.
5G-A is a transition technology between 5G and 6G, with a peak speed of 1Gbps to 10Gbps and a peak speed of 01Gbps has been increased to 1Gbps, and the connection density has also been greatly increased. China Mobile and Huawei completed 5G-A outdoor multi-chip networking and indoor 3CC pilot tests in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and China Mobile Shanghai also conducted 5G-A model tests on the road, demonstrating the application potential of 5G-A in high-precision surveillance, unmanned vehicle control, and high-precision map loading.
Huawei's leading position in 5G-A technology is expected to have a profound impact on the communications industry. 2024 is regarded as the first year of the freezing and commercialization of the first version of the 5G-A standard, and once Huawei applies this technology to mobile phones, it is expected to drive Huawei's mobile phone sales to a new high. The information about the Huawei P70 series has also attracted market attention, and its appearance design and release date have become the focus of consumers' expectations.
