Huawei is reportedly planning to launch two flagship smartphones in 2023, according to a supply chain report. The Chinese tech giant is said to have two flagship launch events planned for the year, with the unveilings expected to take place around March and September. These events will reportedly feature the Huawei P60 and Mate 60 series, which will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets and are expected to support 4G networks, though it is unclear if they will also support 5G.
Until recently, Huawei had a tradition of
launching two flagship phones per year. In the past, the company would unveil a
P series device in the first half of the year and a Mate series device in the
second half. This allowed Huawei to consistently offer consumers a range of
high-end smartphones throughout the year. However, due to supply chain issues,
Huawei has only been able to launch one flagship per year in recent years. The
success of the Huawei Mate 50 series, which has been well-received by
consumers, appears to have spurred the company to return to its dual flagship
launch tradition in 2023.
While sales of Huawei‘s smartphones have
increased significantly in recent months, with 8.6 million units sold in the
third quarter of this year, a 48.3% increase from the same period in the
previous year, the company has not yet confirmed these plans through official
channels. It is worth noting that the success of the Huawei Mate 50 series has
likely contributed to this increase in sales, as the device offers a variety of
new features and a fresh design that has resonated with consumers.
As we are still some time away from the
2023 launch season, it is unclear what features the P60 and Mate 60 series will
offer or what they will be named. However, given Huawei‘s track record of
producing high-quality smartphones, it is likely that these devices will be well-received
by consumers when they are eventually unveiled. Until then, we will have to
wait for more information to become available.
