Huawei: India and US scenario

Huawei did not launch its tablet in India for more than five years, as the Huawei MatePad T8 was the last one the Chinese tech giant had introduced in September 2020. It was introduced in the country at a starting price of Rs 9,999 for the 2GB RAM + 32GB storage variant. However, the Chinese tech giant introduced the Band 10 smartwatch in India last year.

Meanwhile, Huawei has not officially sold its products in the United States (US), following the company's being blacklisted in 2019. However, people in the US can still purchase their older or international products via third-party sellers.
