Huawei’s Mate 20, a well-known phone that boasts 3 rear electronic cameras and an in-screen finger print sensing unit, has actually delivered 10 million systems after four-and-a-half months on the marketplace, Yu stated. He made the statement on Weibo, a Chinese social networks platform. 

Despite practically no existence in the United States, Huawei is an around the world powerhouse when it pertains to phones. The company offered over 200 million phones in 2018, according to Canalys, and it’s on a hot run in regards to making quality flagships. Both the Mate 20 and the P20 lines impressed us.

However, the business is progressively involved in a standoff with the United States federal government.

Similar activity from ZTE, another Chinese phone and telecommunications company, led to a bill prohibiting the US government and its contractors from buying certain telecommunications and video surveillance equipment from ZTE, Huawei and other Chinese companies. 

Phones, tablets and other consumer devices are only half of Huawei’s business. It’s also a telecommunications business, and some Western governments, most notably the US, are concerned that the company has or could build backdoors into the infrastructure it builds in foreign countries. The Chinese government is feared to be using these backdoors in negative ways.

The situation sharply escalated last Wednesday when Huawei announced a lawsuit against the US government for the aforementioned equipment ban. In other words, don’t expect the Mate 20 to be sold through any major US retailers soon.
