Huawei expects great P40 Lite sales in South Africa

Huawei anticipates that its new P40 Lite mid-range smartphone will perform exceptionally well in the South African market.

The Huawei P40 Lite was recently launched locally and is priced at R6,499 - making it an attractive option for mid-range smartphone buyers.

Let's see what the actual sales figures will be. They may do well purely due to people not realising there's no Play Store. I assume Huawei are expecting to have access to the Play Store by their next generation's release where they'll then advertise the living hell out of it to bring back this generation's duped customers.

JFC I wish the MyBB forum would scale images down instead of showing them in full resolution. Fek sake.

I "expect" to win the Lottery in 2020. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

Sorry if this is a repost

It's a no from me, purely due to the lack of Play Store access.

This message is sent from my second Huawei Android phone.

Same, but a R6,500.00 phone is not high on my priority list at the moment

Thanks for answering that important question.

I can't bring myself to pay these crazy prices. I usually pick up a midrange phone on a cheap Telkom contract.

I don't think Huawei screen quality is good. Currently 4 Huawei's in the family and 3 with broken glass. Didn't take much to break either, even with super protective body glove pouches.
Maybe I'm just biased ever since I deliberately tried to break a Motorola G3 but after kicking it for a 4th time again a wall I suddenly gained respect for it and kept it for another few months before replacing it with a G6 Plus

This thread aggravated the issue lol.

I don't see these great sales figures materialising once the public realise the number of apps not supported out of the box.
My 3rd party email client of choice "mymail" is not supported. The Google Family Link range of apps for parents and kids that I have on my kids non-Huawei phones, are a deal-breaker.
Tymebank banking app not currently supported.
Google Keep... deal-breaker.
And then this huge issue of how to go about keeping apps updated without Google Play Store...

Great camera though.
