Tornado Pan, Country Manager (Huawei Brand), Consumer Business Group, Huawei India says, "Huawei has always been at the forefront of groundbreaking technology innovation, innately driven by its deep understanding of consumers' needs. The Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 is a perfect embodiment of timeless style and cutting edge technology. Our first ever pop-up selfie camera will redefine the way people take selfies, making it a true pop-up king. Added to this, the large full view screen makes it the ideal device for immersive entertainment, in the true sense of the term. All our products have been very well received in India and we are confident that this latest smartphone will further strengthen our repertoire. Our commitment to our customers also extends to providing timely software updates and security patches for a seamless and secure experience. "

For the last couple of years, India has been an important market for Huawei. It was on the verge of becoming the number one smartphone brand in the world (in 2020) but the company hit a roadblock when the Trump administration restricted US-based companies to sell technologies to Huawei. While it raised many doubts about the future of Huawei and Honor smartphones, things seem to be falling back in space since the US lifted the ban. Just recently, Huawei has entered into a partnership with Micromax, who will take care of Huawei's distribution network.
