In the world of technology, Huawei has been a pivotal force in revolutionizing not only the telecommunications industry but also the mobile market. From creating state-of-the-art network infrastructure to developing powerful yet elegant-looking smartphones, Huawei has been at the forefront of making technology more accessible to the masses.
Established in 1987, Huawei began as a small sales entity for Hong Kong-based cable networks and phone businesses. But, over time, the company became a major player in the telecommunications industry, mainly because of its aggressive global expansion strategy and innovative products. And then, in the early 2000s, Huawei began focusing on developing its first mobile phone, which was later launched in 2004.
Since then, Huawei has been on an upward trajectory, releasing mobile phones and smartphones that cater to a wide array of customers. These include the Nova Y71, Nova Y91, Nova 11i, Nova 11 Ultra, Enjoy 60X, P60, P60 Pro, and the P60 Art. The company has also been one of the first networking enterprises to provide equipment for 5G cellular networks. However, the 2020 ban in the US and 2023 EU ban have been some of the most devastating experiences for the company, ultimately leading to a major drop in annual revenues. As a result, Huawei was forced to sell off a major chunk of its mobile division and restrict its global expansion plans.
The good news is that – Huawei still has not wound down its sales and operations in Pakistan – which means you can effortlessly fix your Huawei-branded device, especially if you are facing any major or minor issue.
