The decline in Huawei’s retail sales is primarily due to US sanctions. In 2019, President Donald Trump blacklisted the Chinese technology group, banning the use of US parts and intellectual property in its products. As a result, Huawei sold 6.4 million smartphones in China in the first half of this year, compared to 27.4 million in the second half of 2020. The figure does not include sales of the lower-priced Honor brand. The brand was sold by Huawei last November.
Huawei began commercial sales of its Harmony operating system along with its products in June. With its own operating system, Huawei is independent of Google’s Android operating system.
