Huawei Technologies is nearing one billion active consumer devices and about 900 million Huawei gadgets have its HarmonyOS operating software installed, reports Bloomberg. Sales of premium Huawei smartphones climbed 72% in the first five months of 2024, Chairman Richard Yu said at an annual developer forum Friday.
Those numbers illustrate the phenomenal growth Huawei’s phones have enjoyed since it unveiled the Mate 60 Pro, which contained a 7-nanometer processor that Washington officials did not think Chinese firms were capable of developing. Business has boomed since, helping Huawei more than quintuple profit during the March quarter and take market share from Apple and Chinese rivals.
“No one can extinguish the starlight in the sky. Today, the future of HarmonyOS is set,” Yu told his audience. “Let’s enjoy the brilliant galaxy that belongs to us.”
