Huawei expands footprint in Oman

Huawei Consumer Business Group (CBG) expands its footprint in Oman following the outstanding success of its highly anticipated Huawei Mate 20 Series, which sold out within two weeks of its release; the opening of its first ever brand showroom in Qurm City Center as well as the opening of eight new dedicated brand zones within leading electronics chains and 20 brand zones in independent electronics stores, representing a fourfold year-on-year increase.

Ian Li, general manager of Huawei Consumer Business Group, Middle East Multi Countries, said, “Oman is one of Huawei’s key markets in the region. The extraordinary demand for Huawei Mate 20 series in Oman is testament to the success of our global consumer-centric strategy, which is to provide greater choice and a more comprehensive experience for consumers in Oman. Following the nationwide sell-out of our newest products, we are delighted to announce a restock in early December. Huawei CBG has invested heavily in Oman in terms of R&D, channels and service and we are committed to provide Oman’s consumers with more convenience in terms of product availability and 24/7 after-sales service of the highest quality. We are focused on providing our consumers access to best-in-class pioneering technology, innovative devices and exceptional products, to develop more meaningful ways to stay connected.”

Furthermore, Huawei, which is renowned for its world-class after-sales service is renovating the sales center in Al Meera Hypermarket, Azaiba.

The new camera system also supports macro distance, which produces crisp images of objects that are laces as closed as 2.5 cm from the lens. The Huawei Mate 20 Series also features an AI Portrait Colour video mode. Using AI, the Huawei Mate 20 Series can isolate human subjects and desaturate the colours around them to dramatically highlight the person.
