The loss in Huawei became clear: 80 million users switched to Xiaomi, Apple and Honor

Huawei, which has been on its way to becoming the world’s largest technology company in the past years, continues to lose blood due to US sanctions. Today, Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing shared the number of users the Chinese technology giant lost in the smartphone market. So which brands filled the void of Huawei? Here are the details

Huawei lost 80 million users

In a statement, Lu Weibing said that Huawei lost about 80 million customers due to the sanctions. For those who don’t know, Huawei was once the second largest smartphone manufacturer in the world. However, after the sanctions from the USA, it experienced a rapid decline. As a result of the sanctions, the company, whose primary chip supplier TSMC and its US headquarters lost access to the technologies, took a big hit in its smartphone operations.

Users switch to Apple, Xiaomi and Honor

In the continuation of his statements, Weibing stated that 50 million of the 80 million users lost by Huawei switched to Xiaomi. However, the senior official stated that the remaining 20 million users turned to Apple, and 10 million to Honor, the former Huawei organization.

In the light of the shared information, we can say that Huawei’s success in the Chinese market has been proven once again. Today, although the Chinese giant focuses on different technologies, especially communication, the brand’s gap in the phone market seems to continue to benefit rival manufacturers.
