Quando lo scorso aprile vennero ufficializzati da Huawei P9 e P9 Plus, la compagnia si aspettava un ottimo impatto sul mercato. Materiali premium, come pure il design, e la collaborazione fotografica con Leica erano gli ingredienti del successo sperato. Ed effettivamente Huawei sembra aver trovato la ricetta giusta; arriva oggi l’annuncio delle 10 milioni di unità spedite nel mondo.

Huawei P9 trascina il colosso Cinese nelle vendite

In una conferenza stampa odierna è giunto proprio l’annuncio, epocale per questa azienda. Sono infatti i primi smartphone a raggiungere le 10 milioni di unità per Huawei, confermando il trend post lancio. Solo durante le prime 6 settimane dal lancio sono stati spediti ben 2,6 milioni di P9 e P9 Plus.

In aggiunta, le vendite di Mate 8 e Mate 9 sono risultate estremamente positive. Durante il terzo trimestre del 2016, Huawei ha spedito 33,59 milioni di smartphone. Un incremento del 23% rispetto all’anno precedente. Un risultato molto importante e non atteso da tutti.

Un 2017 molto atteso, che sia la conferma di Huawei?

Ci aspettiamo non solo molti modelli validi, ma anche innovazioni e prezzi aggressivi. Arriverà un altro best-buy come P9 Lite sotto i 250€? Speriamo proprio di sì. Forse uno dei best-buy 2016 più

Cosa aspettarsi dal 2017 di Huawei? P10 (o come si chiamerà) sarà all’altezza del predecessore e quali novità arriveranno? Insomma, voi cosa vorreste da questa “nascente” ma ormai affermata e rinomata? Fatecelo sapere nei commenti!

Comunicato stampa ufficiale Huawei 

Leica dual-lens devices among the world’s most popular smartphones of 2016. And they become the company’s first flagship series to ship over 10 million units

28 December, 2016

Shenzhen, China (December 28, 2016) – Ahead of the keynote address by Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group (CBG) at CES 2017, CBG today announced that the company has shipped more than 10 million Huawei P9/P9 Plus smartphones globally, making it the company’s first flagship series to top the 10 million mark. This is a milestone for Huawei both from a product and brand perspective. Despite a sluggish global smartphone market in 2016, the Huawei P9 and P9 Plus devices have achieved impressive results in the premium segment; a major breakthrough that proves Huawei’s investment in international markets is paying off.

Leica Collaboration 

First revealed in April 2016, the dual-lens Huawei P9/P9 Plus devices were Huawei’s first flagship smartphones to be developed in collaboration with legendary German camera brand Leica. This extensive partnership has already set a new benchmark for advanced smartphone camera technology and delivered outstanding photography experiences to consumers.

Since launching, the Huawei P9 and P9 Plus have become an instant hit in the global smartphone market. Global shipments of the P9 exceeded 2.6 million within six weeks of their release. Eight months since its release, the Huawei P9 has sustained its popularity, winning recognition from both experts and consumers for its camera experience, industrial design and overall performance. In addition to winning major awards including European Consumer Smartphone 2016-17 from EISA and Best Personal Computing Device at CES Asia, the Huawei P9 has also received positive reviews from hundreds of key international publications, making it a top choice for consumers looking for the best camera phone.

P9, P9 Plus and Mate performance 

Thanks to the huge popularity of the P9 and P9 Plus, as well as the strong sales performance of the Mate 8 and Mate 9 devices, Huawei is making significant progress in the global high-end smartphone market. In the third quarter of 2016, Huawei shipped 33.59 million smartphones, up 23% from the previous year, with mid-to-high-end devices accounting for about 44% of the shipment. Huawei’s market share is now above 15% in 30 countries and above 20% in 20 countries; it also made substantial breakthroughs in key markets such as the UK, France and Germany. According to 2016 half year financial results, Huawei CBG sales were close to 77.4 billion RMB in the first half of year, up 41% from the same period in 2015; the growth rate in markets outside of China was 1.6 times that of the Greater China region.

Global awareness of the Huawei brand has continued to grow along with Huawei’s outstanding market performance. In 2016, Huawei was ranked No. 72 in Interbrand’s “Top 100” most valuable global brands list, 16 spots up from 2015. Huawei was again listed as one of the top 100 most valuable brands by Brand Z, at No.50 this year, up from No.70 in 2015. Additionally, in November, Huawei was named “Best Consumer Electronics Brand” in “Best Brands 2016 – the Chinese brand ranking” based on GfK’s consumer survey.
