To save itself, Huawei franchise stores start selling OPPO and vivo
1. Huawei franchise stores "secretly sell" OV to save themselves
Sohu Technology reported on May 10 that some Huawei franchise stores have "quietly" started selling OPPO and vivo phones because they are out of stock. Li Qiang, the owner of a Huawei franchise store in Beijing's Zhongguancun, said: "OV and Huawei are all Android systems, so it's not difficult to change brands."
The owner of another store said that many customers have turned to buying OPPO, vivo and Xiaomi brand phones because Huawei phones are difficult to buy and are priced at a premium.
Due to chip reasons, Huawei has basically given up low-end mobile phones, while high-end mobile phones are in short supply. According to a Canalys research report, Huawei's shipments in the domestic mobile phone market were halved in the first quarter, slipping to third place, while Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, and Apple all achieved growth of more than 60%.
In addition, IDC's first quarter data showed that Huawei fell out of the top five in the global mobile phone market, and limited supply has created a vacancy in the high-end market. And IDC's Q4 data last year showed that the supply of Huawei's flagship Mate 40 series was severely limited, with shipments falling by more than 60% compared to the Mate 30 series in the same period of 2019. Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo benefited the most from this .
