The bidding and procurement is only when Huawei Mate 60 is on the market, and the mobile phone is only one of the purchases, and the specific purchase quantity is still unclear.

Analyst: Apple will "lose" to Huawei next year
The latest report released by analysts shows that Apple's new iPhone sales in China are lower than its predecessors due to the rise of competitors such as Huawei and weak demand.
The Paper quoted the US Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC) as reporting that analysts at financial services firm Jefferies said that China's smartphone sales showed positive year-on-year growth, mainly due to double-digit growth in devices led by Huawei, Xiaomi and Honor. Apple's iPhone has seen a significant double-digit decline, and its year-over-year sales growth has been negative since the launch of the iPhone 15 series. As a result, Huawei surpassed Apple and occupied the first position in the market share.
Jefferies estimates that Huawei's overall sales in China surpassed Apple's, driven by the unexpected debut of the Mate 60 Pro. Analysts write that this trend suggests that the iPhone will "lose" to Huawei next year. "We believe that weak Chinese demand will eventually lead to lower-than-expected global shipments of the iPhone 15 in 2023."
Huawei responds to the official launch of "Petal Pay"
Accelerate the construction of Hongmeng ecology
Recently, Huawei has made new progress in its payment business - its payment institution "Xunlian Smart Pay" has been renamed "Petal Pay".
According to the announcement of Huawei's payment business, the PBOC approved Shenzhen Xunlian Smart Pay Network Co., Ltd. to change its company name to Petal Payment (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.
According to the Qichacha APP, Xunlian Smart Pay is a payment company under Huawei, which is 100% controlled by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., with Zheng Liying, the chairman, and Ma Chuanyong, the general manager.
Founded in June 2013 with a registered capital of 200 million yuan, Xunlian Smart Pay obtained a payment license in 2014, initially affiliated to ZTE, and subsequently transferred its equity. In March 2021, Xunlian Smart Pay changed hands again and became a payment institution under Huawei, and Huawei also became the second mobile phone manufacturer with a payment license after Xiaomi.
For this change, Huawei responded to an interview with the "Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily" reporter today that the name change is not a big thing, in essence, Huawei has accelerated the construction of Hongmeng ecological infrastructure, and the newly upgraded negative screen will also fully support Huawei Pay, "This is an important step to promote Hongmeng Yuan service, and now Didi, Meituan, Maoyan, Tongcheng and other big partners are settled in the negative screen in the form of meta-services."
Previously, the reporter of the "Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily" learned from Huawei that Huawei's positioning of payment is not only mobile phone payment, but also a full-scenario payment platform.
As the underlying infrastructure of the Harmony ecosystem, Huawei Pay is deeply integrated with the Harmony ecosystem, allowing Huawei developers and partners to directly complete the commercial closed loop in the Harmony ecosystem, and payment operations on multiple Huawei terminal devices can be transferred to mobile phones across devices, enabling users to complete payments conveniently and safely.
