Huawei Likely To Enter The Mid-Range 5G Market After Mate 60

(CTN News) – There is a possibility that the Chinese conglomerate Huawei may enter the mid-range 5G market with the release of a new smartphone soon, according to reports reported on Tuesday, as Huawei shrugs off US sanctions and moves forward.

According to the IT Times, Huawei has announced that it will launch a 5G version of its Nova mid-range smartphone by the end of the year.

The company did not respond to the report in any way. This smartphone is priced at 2,400 yuan (about $329) for the 4G Nova model.

The news about a 5G midranger coming from Huawei comes as the company is gearing up for an official launch event for the Mate 60 series on September 25. As a result, the high-end handset has been generating buzz among Chinese consumers for weeks following its unexpected debut on August 29.

Earlier this month, Huawei announced that the Mate 60 smartphone series was now available for preorder, giving consumers the chance to experience the “most powerful” high-end Mate series ever made, according to Global Times.

In the Mate 60 Pro smartphone, it has been reported that Huawei uses a homemade advanced 7nm chipset, identified as Kirin 9000s, that uses a 7nm manufacturing process.

As the company started selling the Mate 60 Pro smartphone, little information was available regarding the chipset inside the device.

According to leading analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Huawei will be the first smartphone brand in the world to fully adopt its new self-developed Kirin processors beginning in 2024, which, according to Qualcomm, will have the greatest impact on the company.

At the same time, Huawei’s rotating chairman Eric Xu Zhijun said at the World Computing Conference last week that China should unswervingly build a sustainable computing industry ecosystem “with no illusions about the future” and make this the priority.

Reports in Chinese media have cited Xu as calling on the country’s industrial development to be further boosted by the use of homegrown products and technologies in order to reduce the gap between the country and its foreign rivals.
