Huawei Achieves Significant Sales Leap for Mate 80 Series Before Next-Gen Launch

Smartphones from Huawei's Mate 80 series are experiencing an unprecedented boom in the Chinese domestic market, as the company seeks to reaffirm its technological dominance through record-breaking sales figures approaching previously unexpected thresholds. This strong performance serves as a clear indicator of consumer confidence in the quality of local products and their ability to compete with global alternatives.
Sales Figures and Future Projections
Data released by market research firm RDObservation revealed that total units sold from this series reached approximately 8.94 million devices by the thirtieth week of 2026, signaling a strong indicator of rising demand. Analysts tracking commercial performance expect figures to surpass the 9 million handset barrier by the end of August, with significant potential to reach the 10 million unit milestone.
Acceleration Before the New Launch
This commercial momentum arrives as Huawei prepares to officially announce its next generation, the Mate 90, on September 23, creating a highly competitive environment among users choosing between purchasing the latest models or waiting. Recent adjustments to the pricing structure, which included an increase ranging from 800 to 1000 yuan for three main versions, contributed to rapid purchasing before the higher prices took effect.
Public interest and expert estimates are currently focused on the pricing strategy the company will follow with the new generation, as it may continue the policy of increases or adopt a different approach to ensure growth continuity.
