CDP ranks Huawei first for its actions on climate change
Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) ranked Huawei in the top place for its actions on climate change and transparency of disclosures, which is a big praise for the tech maker.
According to the information, Huawei has been placed in “A List” category and is the only Chinese company to get this honor. That’s not it, CDP also gave Huawei an “Excellent Environmental Leadership Award”.
The company has been praised for its initiative such as “Tech for a Better Planet”, which adheres to increasing the value of green development and motivates to fight against climate change.
ICT technologies are one of the biggest contributors to carbon emissions and Huawei is finding new ways to reduce carbon emissions, promote renewable energy, contribute to a circular economy, and protect nature.
To make these changes, Huawei is focusing on key digital power business areas such as clean power generation, electrification of transport, and green ICT infrastructure to support the global energy transition.
As of 2022, Huawei helped its customers to generate over 695.1 billion kWh of green power, and reduce power consumption by 19.5 billion kWh, which is equivalent to avoiding nearly 340 million tons of CO2 emissions.
Huawei said it is committed to using more eco-friendly materials and green packaging to lower carbon emissions in creating new products and producing more durable devices that will contribute to reducing waste.
The achieve this goal, Huawei is working with environmental protection organizations and scientific research institutions to adapt better ways and protect forests, wetlands, oceans, and nature as a whole.
“Sustainable development is an important part of Huawei’s overall strategy. To address the global challenge of climate change, we believe that technology is a key enabler of sustainable development, to create a more inclusive and environmentally-friendly world. Huawei hopes to work with global customers, suppliers, and partners to promote green and sustainable development in various industries and build a low-carbon society.” said Tao Jingwen, Director of the Board and Director of the Corporate Sustainable Development Committee for Huawei.
“Environmental transparency is the first vital step towards a net-zero and nature-positive future. In a year of ever-increasing environmental concerns around the world – from extreme weather to unprecedented losses to nature – the need for transformational, urgent and collaborative change is more critical than ever.” Dexter Galvin, Global Director of Corporations and Supply Chains at CDP, congratulated Huawei for its performance.
Huawei has finalized the design of the P60 series and the flagship could appear at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 at the earliest, which is piece of amazing news.
Input coming from different Weibo tipsters suggests that Huawei has confirmed the design of the Huawei P60 series. It is the first camera module that has a giant ring in the middle followed by a camera on the top and a periscope camera placed on the bottom side.
These tipsters have seen the test model, and the company is likely to keep the below-featured camera system, unlike the one that surfaced recently. The camera bump is rectangular and houses all of the sensors inside, making it a hybrid version of P50 and P40 devices.
MWC 2023:
Another tipster suggested that the Huawei P60 series revealing could occur at MWC 2023, which will be a surprise. However, the tipster insists that it could be the earliest launch attempt that the Chinese tech maker may choose to go with.
MWC Barcelona is an annual event and 2023’s conference will start from February 27, 2023, to March 2, 2023. So, the company could book the last week of this month to open the launch or by early in March.
At MWC 23, Honor will also participate in the launch of its new foldable device. This leads us to a prediction that, Huawei Mate X3 is also ready to enter among consumers and it would make sense, as this new foldable device is ready to raise the curtain.
Past information:
Huawei P60 series could be the most powerful camera smartphone, as it will feature a large sensor to boast better light. Also, it will debut variable aperture in the P series, which is another advantage for this flagship family.
For now, Huawei has not made an official announcement about the launch date. However, there is more information that will appear to amaze us.
ChatGPT is a raging storm on the internet and everyone is talking about this AI-powered instant reply software but Huawei says, it has long mastered such technology.
A person in charge of Huawei’s computing product section said that Huawei began to have a layout in the large model in 2020. In the following year, Huawei launched Pengcheng Pangu, which is a super-large model and the first of its kind in the industry.
This model can generate 100 billion levels of processes and can generate responses or understand Chinese natural language processing as well as speech recognition.
To be mentioned, Pangu NLP large model was the world’s largest Chinese language pre-training model with 100 billion parameters at that time. The sample tuning of the data improves the application performance of the model in the scenario.
Patent:
Recently, two patents have surfaced on China’s intellectual property office, which reveal Huawei’s use of AI in instant reply software. However, we can say that Huawei has already applied a lot of AI software to human conversation technology, which was way ahead of ChatGPT. But Huawei has not revealed any plans to implement such tech in Huawei devices.
ChatGPT:
ChatGPT was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022, and quickly garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge. Its uneven factual accuracy, however, was identified as a significant drawback. Following the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s valuation was estimated at US$29 billion.

After the events of the U.S. ban, Huawei had to reduce its capacity of building new smartphones, which result in low yield and sales, and now, Xiaomi claims that it took over 50 million of Huawei’s users.
During the Xiaomi Investment Day, Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group said that Huawei has lost over 80 million smartphone users, of which, Xiaomi took over 50 million.
This is quite a big statement made by the head of the Chinese phone maker as Huawei was forced to leave the market due to the restrictions on manufacturing.
After not meeting the market requirements the share of Huawei’s smartphone market declined severely in both the Chinese and global markets. While other smartphone makers are the ones that got most of the benefits.
From the rest, Apple took over 20 million users and Honor grabbed 10 million, which accounts for an overall 80 million Huawei users.
According to the data revealed by Canalys, the global smartphone market ranked Samsung first and Apple second, which has increased by 22 percent and 19 percent respectively. While Xiaomi declined to 13 percent.
Aside from Apple and Samsung, other smartphone maker has declined. On this matter, Xiaomi’s president said that the decline in his firm is related to various reasons such as currency depreciation, chips from shortage to surplus, and intensified competition, the global mobile phone market will decline by 12% in 2022, of which the Chinese market will decline by 13%.
Why not?
It was an opportunity for all of the smartphone companies with an open opportunity to grab Huawei’s market share and it fell directly into their lap without doing anything.
