To help it compete with Apple in this sector of the Chinese smartphone market, Huawei has been cutting prices on its phones. For example, the 1TB variant of the Pura 70 Ultra, part of the Pura 70 flagship series released in April, is the beneficiary of an 18% discount. That takes the price of the phone from 10,999 yuan ($1,494) to 8,999 yuan ($1,233). The version of the photography-focused phone with 512GB of storage is available with a larger 20% discount. The Pura 70 line, the successor to the P60 flagship series, was already reduced in price by up to 1,000 yuan ($137) last summer.

The foldable Huawei Mate X5, which was released back in September 2023, is now being sold at a 19% discount. With that 2,500 yuan discount ($343), the price of the phone is reduced to 10,499 yuan ($1,439). According to research firm CINNO, the Mate X5 has been the most popular foldable since its launch last year. Huawei started taking a knife to its smartphone prices after releasing the new Mate 70 flagship series and the foldable Mate X6 in November.
