Huawei was on its way to breaking all sales records in 2019, but in the middle of the year this was interrupted due to the veto of the American government. Despite this veto, the Chinese brand has increased its sales significantly compared to 2018 data, thus widening the gap with Apple, which has lost some sales.

Samsung remains, as usual, in the first position. The Korean brand has also been known to benefit slightly from this veto to the Chinese brand, as its sales have increased slightly. Also the boost of 5G helps them.

2020 promises to be a complex year for Huawei, which continues to suffer from the effects of the United States veto. The brand continues working on alternatives and they promise to leave us with many telephones of interest in these first months of the year. The question will be how users in Europe will respond to these new models of the Chinese brand.
