Apple’s iPhone 16 series, which has the new A18 processor and starts at $799, also features major improvements in speed and AI capabilities.
Pre-orders have already begun, and in-store sales will begin on September 20. Huawei is positioned to make a huge impression in the market.
The company said that over 3.5 million consumers have preordered the Mate XT by Tuesday noon.
The launch represents a watershed moment for Huawei, especially in terms of its recovery from the consequences of US sanctions imposed in 2019. The Mate XT’s striking style and amazing features may help Huawei maintain its worldwide smartphone supremacy.
