In the wake of US sanctions, Huawei faces difficulties selling its smartphones due to the absence of Google Services and applications. The company’s long drive to introduce new flagship phones outside of China has been stalled, and so far, the Huawei P50, P50 Pro and its foldable model P50 Pocket have not been offered for sale outside of China.
But now, long after, Huawei has introduced two flagship phones globally in the form of P50 Pocket and P50 Pro. In the first phase, the two phones will be offered for sale in the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and South America.
