Huawei 'super fans' fuming as left empty handed by $2,800 phone launch
SHENZHEN, China (Reuters) -Huawei and Apple's latest smartphones went on sale in China on Friday, with many fans of the Chinese company disappointed that its much-anticipated $2,800 model - more than twice the price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max - was not available for walk-in customers. At Huawei's flagship shop in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, some who described themselves as "super fans" were annoyed after being told only those whose pre-orders had been confirmed could buy the tri-foldable Mate XT. It was a similar story at the Huawei Wangfujing store in Beijing, where access to the much-hyped Mate XT - which folds three ways like an accordion screen door - was restricted to those whose pre-orders had been confirmed.
