Huawei announced two new smartphones of their Enjoy series in China (Also known as Y series in some markets); Huawei Enjoy 9 Plus and Huawei Enjoy Max. Both devices look like Honor 8X and 8X Max but with the Huawei branding instead of Honor with slightly different specs. The addition of these devices further increased the number of devices in this series. The original Enjoy device was launched three years ago.
Before the official announcement of these two new smartphones, Sun Hao who’s Huawei’s senior product manager of BG, reviewed the history of Huawei’s Enjoy series. During the review, Sun Hao informed that this series is one of the successful smartphone series and Huawei managed to sell 45 million units worldwide in three years.
Huawei introduced Enjoy series in 2015. The purpose of this series was to position it in the budget segment. The price tag was 1000 Yuan range i.e., from 1000 Yuan ($145) to 1999 Yuan ($289). The company released Huawei Enjoy 5 and 5S in 2015.
In 2016, they launched Enjoy 6 and 6S.
In 2017, the company added three more smartphones in the series by releasing Enjoy 7, Enjoy 7S and Enjoy 7 Plus.
This year, the Huawei has already released five smartphones in the Enjoy series. Enjoy 8e, Enjoy 8e Youth Edition and Enjoy 8 Plus.
It is easy for Huawei to launch these new devices in 2018 because we could see the hardware in different other devices. The new Enjoy 9 Plus (Y9-2019) and Enjoy Max (Honor 8x Max in some markets) will definitely help the company to sell a few more million units of the series in the next few months.
