On the 29th, Huawei launched the Mate 60 Pro Pioneer Edition for the first time without announcing it. It was put on the official store at noon on the 29th. The specification is 12GB+512GB, and the price is RMB 6999 (about 962 US dollars). This is the world's first mass smartphone that supports satellite calls.

Huawei has not yet officially released data. If Huawei's 5G mobile phones return, the market structure may change, especially in the high-end market. At present, other domestic manufacturers still generally rely on Qualcomm and MediaTek processor chips.

But if Huawei really returns to 5G, it will most likely break Apple’s current dominance of 5G high-end smartphones.
The report mentioned that according to the assessment, because the chip yield rate may be lower than 50% in the initial stage of production, Huawei's 5G new machine shipments may only be around 2 million to 4 million units.
