Market share of mobile vendors in Malaysia 2023
Apart from Apple, more and more Android based smartphones were able to increase their market share over the past few years. The reason for their success is not only their strong performance but also Samsung’s declining market share. The Android market has become more open and the trust in well established brands has shrunk. In addition, lesser-known smartphone brands like Oppo have conquered the market with low-priced smartphones to meet the demand of people with smaller incomes.
Launch of fifth-generation technologies
In 2019, Maxis, Malaysia’s second-largest telecommunication provider, announced that it has signed an agreement with Huawei Technologies to launch a fifth-generation (5G) telecommunications network when the technology becomes available. Last year, Telekom Malaysia in collaboration with Huawei Technologies introduced TM ONE Cloud, which offers cloud, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, cloud operations and cloud AI infrastructure services.
Huawei’s initiatives during the COVID-19 pandemic
Apart from collaboration with telecommunication providers, Huawei has also collaborated with the Malaysian government. In an effort to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, Huawei Malaysia has donated four technology solutions to the Ministry of Health. The solutions enable healthcare experts to work with frontline medical professionals to conduct online consultations and enhance the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment. In this period, buyers of Huawei’s MateX were also offered free delivery services, an added incentive to purchasing Huawei.
