Huawei sells six million P20 units, NEXT-IMAGE photo contest launched with outstanding prizes
The Huawei P20 Pro and P20 were released in late-March. Three months later and Huawei announced it has sold more than six million of these two devices, up 81 percent compared to the P10 Series last year.
I've now spent a couple of months with both devices, check out my one month article, and believe the Huawei P20 Pro is currently the best smartphone available.
Kevin Ho, president of Huawei's handsets product line, stated, "The incredible reception and sales performance of the HUAWEI P20 Series demonstrate that we understand our markets, and show our commitment to innovation and R&D. We see our success with the HUAWEI P20 Series as encouragement to drive us to continue to excel. Expect to see more from us before the year closes out."
