Huawei To Launch Special Editions Of Mate 20 Pro And Nova 4 To Celebrate 200 Million Phones Shipped

Just yesterday, Huawei claimed that it reached the goal of shipping more than 200 million phones this year. Also, Huawei accomplished that with very low shipments to the US market where Huawei is currently facing a lot of pressure as the US government has accused it of having a very close relationship with the Chinese government. Huawei’s CFO was even arrested in Canada by request from the US in early December.

Despite losing the potential U.S market, Huawei still managed to reach the goal of 200 million phone units shipped in 2018

The Huawei smartphones on its P20 and Mate 20 series were received a lot of praises from both consumers as well as industry analysts. According to Huawei, 16 million smartphones on the Huawei P20 series were sold, and there were also 5 million devices in the Mate 20 series sold since it was launched in October. The Chinese company expects that it will sell up to 20 million devices in the Mate 20 series.

And to celebrate the 200 million Huawei devices shipped in 2018, the Chinese phone maker has just announced that it would release a special edition of its flagship Mate 20 Pro. The president of Huawei’s smartphone division, He Gang, announced that from his Weibo account. This special version of the Mate 20 Pro will come in an Emerald color variant and have 8GB RAM/256GB storage (the same with the top-end model of the regular Mate 20 Pro). There will also be a special edition of the Nova 4 with Secret Red color.

Both of these variants will have a special Huawei logo on the rear to commemorate the 200 million Huawei smartphones shipped in 2018. The Weibo post didn’t reveal the price of these two handsets, but both of them will be up for sale in the Chinese market from 1st January at 10:08 am local time.
