Huawei doubles down on smartphones as EV sales slow
Huawei is focusing on revitalising its consumer division, emphasizing a renewed push in smartphone sales as its electric‑vehicle (EV) segment experiences a slowdown.
The company’s strategy follows U.S. sanctions that cut its consumer‑business revenue by roughly half, prompting a shift back toward its core mobile‑phone market to stabilise earnings.
Huawei hopes the renewed smartphone emphasis will offset the dip in EV sales and restore growth across its broader product portfolio.
