Huawei has not been very present in the smartphone market this year, but things could change as programmed an unexpected announcement event for late October.
The press event in question will take place in October 21st in Vienna. Huawei hasn’t given any clues about the devices it plans to advertise, but it is likely related to the global availability of the Huawei P50 series.
The Huawei P50 series was announced in China in July, but at the time Huawei didn’t give any clues about its global launch plans. The event may also be related to the Mate 50 series, but the lack of news suggests that Huawei may have canceled or delayed these devices.
Huawei has been struggling lately with its smartphone business, as the US veto prevents it, among other things, from including Google services and making its own Kirin chips.
Although the company was able to turn to Qualcomm chips, they are “decaffeinated” versions without 5G connectivity.
