According to the Securities Times, at around 9:40 a.m. on the 18th, the reporter saw a long queue at the Huawei flagship store in a business district in Shenzhen, which had formed a long queue at the door of the store in advance.
In addition, according to Zhongxin Jingwei, on the morning of the 18th, many consumers queued up to buy at Huawei's flagship store in Wangfujing, Beijing.
According to Counterpoint Research data, Huawei made a strong comeback as the No. 1 smartphone sales in the first two weeks of 2024, while overall smartphone sales in China fell by 7% year-on-year in the first six weeks of 2024, while Huawei's mobile phones increased by 64% year-on-year, ranking second with a market share of 17%. According to the report, the Huawei Mate 60 series continued to attract and meet strong market demand, becoming one of the few bright spots at the beginning of the year. In addition, the data also shows that in the fourth quarter of last year, Huawei's folding screen market shipped first, with a market share of 51.2%.
In 2023, boosted by the hot sales of the Mate60 series, Huawei's device business ended the previous two-year revenue decline and achieved revenue growth, which not only brought a positive effect to Huawei itself, but also injected new vitality into the entire mobile phone industry.
On March 29, Huawei officially released its 2023 annual report. The company achieved an operating income of 704.2 billion yuan and a net profit of 87 billion yuan for the whole year. According to the report, Huawei's R&D investment in 2023 will reach 164.7 billion yuan, accounting for 23.4% of its annual revenue, and the cumulative R&D expenditure over the past 10 years will exceed 1.11 trillion yuan.
Ken Hu, Huawei's Rotating Chairman, said, "The Group's overall business performance in 2023 was in line with expectations. It is the trust and support of customers, partners, and all sectors of society that have helped Huawei survive and grow. ”
According to the analysis of Shanghai Securities Research Report, benefiting from the strong return of Huawei's Mate60 series, Huawei's terminal business, including mobile phones, will achieve a substantial increase in revenue in 2023, with sales revenue of 251.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.3%, becoming the growth engine of Huawei's performance. With the release of the HarmonyOS Galaxy Edition in the second half of the year, the Pura70 series is expected to become the first batch of terminals that can experience HarmonyOS native applications.
Xu Zhijun's latest voice:
Spoilers for Huawei's key strategy in 2024
In addition, it is worth noting that on April 17, the Huawei Analyst Conference opened in Shenzhen, where more than 500 analysts and think tanks from around the world discussed topics such as cutting-edge trends in the intelligent era and industrial development directions.
On April 1, Xu Zhijun, Huawei's Rotating Chairman and Vice Chairman, delivered a keynote speech at the conference to introduce Huawei's key strategies for 2024, focusing on the key measures to "seize the strategic opportunity of intelligence and promote the implementation of the strategy of comprehensive intelligence".
Xu Zhijun said that on the one hand, the comprehensive intelligence strategy refers to providing sustainable computing power for the development of key AI technologies, especially large model training and inference, and building a win-win ecosystem, and on the other hand, using AI to enhance the competitiveness of Huawei's products and solutions, including: using the Ascend cloud service and the Pangu model to enable industry intelligence, building an autonomous driving network, revolutionizing the operation and maintenance mode of communication networks, creating autonomous driving solutions, and finally realizing unmanned driving, and building a super intelligent assistant Xiaoyi based on the Pangu model.
At the same time, it is also essential to introduce AI into Huawei's internal management to continuously improve operational efficiency, invest in basic AI research to promote continuous AI innovation, actively participate in global AI governance, and do a good job in AI governance during product design and before product release. Xu Zhijun said.
Xu Zhijun said that since the release of Huawei's AI strategy and full-stack, all-scenario AI solution in October 2018, Huawei has been firmly implementing its strategy and building AI solutions, and continues to promote comprehensive intelligence.
Zhou Hong, President of Huawei Strategic Research Institute, shared her thoughts and prospects for the intelligent era at the meeting.
He said that in the next 20 years, human society will accelerate towards the era of comprehensive intelligence.
"Information perception, communication, computing and control will serve as the cornerstones that will drive humanity into new lives, new jobs, new environments and new digital worlds, and artificial general intelligence will be the key to opening the door. Zhou Hong said that Huawei proposes to develop multiple intelligences of AI, develop open intelligent systems based on autonomous agents, build new computing models, new architectures, and new components, and improve the accuracy, adaptability, creativity, and efficiency of general AI from the perspective of system engineering.
Zhou Hong believes that for the future-oriented scientific hypothesis and business vision, we need to lead new breakthroughs through science and technology more than ever.
