Deliveries of smartphones and other devices to Russia by the Chinese manufacturer Huawei have resumed. Izvestia was notified on Wednesday, July 13 by a source close to the organization, a partner of multiple electronics manufacturers. The insider stated that “new deliveries are truly on the way.”
On the same day, Mobile Research Group’s top analyst Eldar Murtazin posted in his Telegram channel that deliveries to Russia had resumed. He stated that Huawei products are available through partners and on the corporate website within two weeks. Meanwhile, Huawei’s spokesman declined to comment on the circumstance.
The business had already announced the closing of its official stores in Russia at the beginning of June. Only four of the Huawei’s 19 Russian outlets initially halted operations. This choice was justified by the absence of Chinese brand electronics and related spare parts in Russian warehouses.
