Since the ban on Huawei by the U.S., the company has been struggling in the smartphone market. Due to the lack of Google Mobile Services on its smartphones, non-Chinese users are not so keen on its devices. The company has since stated that it will neither give up on the smartphone market nor sell its smartphone business. To this end, it has been releasing smartphones in China and sometimes globally. Today, the Huawei nova 9 was unveiled in Europe with a 499 euros starting price. This phone will officially go on sale in Europe on November 2. According to recent reports from TheVerge, the flagship Huawei P50 will also launch outside China.
The report claims that the company will unveil the Huawei P50 flagship smartphone outside China next year. This is the first time in two years that Huawei will be launching a high-end P-series flagship outside China. The last Huawei P40 had a global release in 2020. If the Huawei P50 eventually arrives in 2022, that means it took two years.
