The Chinese technology giant Huawei has begun allowing customers to register their interest in an upcoming smartphone model that has yet to be described, fueling anticipation that the latest version of its high-end P series phones is on the way.
The company returned to premium smartphone market last year with its Mate 60 series, a launch celebrated by state media as a triumph over US sanctions imposed on the company. The launch was also blamed for a sharp decline in Apple's iPhone sales in China.
In recent months, speculation has grown that Huawei will soon launch the P70, which, like the Mate 60, is expected to contain an advanced chip made in China.
Huawei's P series has advanced cameras and is known for its elegant design, while the also high-quality Mate series emphasizes performance and business features.
A product launch on Thursday for a smart car model and a laptop made no mention of phones, disappointing legions of fans who complained online. But on Friday, checks by Reuters at three Huawei stores in Beijing found that interested buyers could register to receive information about a phone without making a deposit.
Registered customers will be notified about the phone's specifications and colors in due course, the widespread sales team said.
Huawei declined to comment.
