Have you ever thought that Huawei offline stores actually sell not only Huawei, but also mobile phones from other brands? Recently, a woman went to Huawei offline store and spent 3,999 yuan to buy a mobile phone. When she went home, she opened the mobile phone and found that it was not the Huawei Mate 40 mobile phone she wanted, but the Dingqiao M40 mobile phone. As soon as this incident happened, it caused heated discussion among netizens.
In this regard, Huawei's official customer service introduced that Dingqiao is the brand of Huawei Smart Selection . It can be sold in authorized stores and can provide the same user experience as Huawei, but there is no clear explanation on the relationship between Dingqiao and Huawei. Many people are curious about what the relationship between Huawei and Dingqiao is?
Huawei and Honor and Dingqiao
It is understood that the relationship between Huawei and Dingqiao is so good that it can be described as "father and son". Many people may say, shouldn't Huawei's "own son" be honor? In the past few years, Honor was indeed a subsidiary of Huawei, sharing some talents, resources and marketing channels. Huawei was responsible for the high-end mobile phone market, while Honor was responsible for the mid- and low-end.
Due to various reasons, on November 17, 2020, Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology Co., Ltd. acquired Honor . Huawei no longer holds any shares in the Honor brand, and Huawei and Honor have completely separated.
It is reported that Dingqiao is wholly owned by a company registered and established in Hong Kong, China in 2003 and is wholly owned by "TD TECH HOLDING LIMITED". The company's current legal representative of Xu Zhijun , who is also one of the vice chairman of Huawei .
Dingqiao's predecessor was actually a joint venture between Siemens and Huawei. At that time, Siemens shares accounted for 51% and Huawei shares accounted for 49%. Later, Siemens sold its shares in Dingqiao to Nokia . In other words, Dingqiao Company is actually a joint venture between Nokia and Huawei.
Dingqiao The current CEO of Deng Biao seems to have nothing to do with Huawei, but in fact, he is also a veteran of Huawei . As Huawei and Dingqiao's relationship becomes closer and closer, Huawei's president-level executives, including Yan Lida and He Haipeng, have become directors of Dingqiao. From this, it seems that the relationship between Huawei and Dingqiao is not ordinary, and it is clear who is the "own son". This also explains why Dingqiao mobile phones can be sold in Huawei offline stores.
Dingqiao Why can M40 look exactly the same as Huawei Mate 40?
According to reports, Dingqiao M40 and Huawei Mate 40 cannot be said to be similar in appearance, they can only be said to be exactly the same. Even the color names provided are the same. The only difference is that its does not have Hongmeng , does not have Kirin chip , and does not have Leica, but supports 5G.

Next, let’s take a look at the configuration comparison between Dingqiao M40 and Huawei Mate 40. In terms of processor, Dingqiao M40 is equipped with Dimensity 1000+. This performance is roughly the same as Qualcomm Snapdragon 860, while Huawei Mate 40 is equipped with Kirin 9000E. In terms of screen and appearance design, the Dingqiao M40 uses a 6.5-inch 60 Hz (up to support 90Hz) OLED curved screen, dual speakers, 4200 mAh battery and 40 W fast charging. The specifications of the rear triple-camera lens module are similar to that of the Huawei Mate 40. In terms of price, Dingqiao M40 JD Mall starts at 3999 yuan , and there are two versions: 8+128G and 8+256G.
This is the explanation. At the beginning, the woman we mentioned spent 3,999 yuan to buy a mobile phone, but she didn't notice that the Dingqiao M40 in her hand was not a Huawei Mate 40, because the two looked so similar. Judging from the above configuration, the difference between Dingqiao M40 and Huawei Mate 40 is indeed quite large. No wonder the person involved feels that he has bought a "counterfeit" Huawei mobile phone and requests to return the product or replace it with a Huawei mobile phone of the same price.
According to the editor, mobile phones like Dingqiao M40 are not isolated cases.Around November last year, Dingqiao Company launched a mobile phone called TD Tech N8 Pro, which is very similar to Huawei's Nova 8 series. Someone may ask again, why can Dingqiao’s mobile phone look exactly the same as Huawei? There is only one truth, Huawei authorized the appearance design of the phone to Dingqiao . Since Dingqiao is a joint venture between Nokia and Huawei, Huawei cannot use 5G chips after being sanctioned by the United States, but Dingqiao can still use 5G chips.
Finally
is written here. The editor doesn’t know that Huawei is doing this to release its own “5G mobile phone”? Or do you want to cut leeks? Or for the sake of subsequent development?
Just hope that friends who go to Huawei offline stores to buy mobile phones should pay more attention to whether the mobile phone they want to buy is really Huawei, and don’t be fooled by the shopping guide to become a “big injustice”.
OK! That’s all for this issue’s sharing. Thank you for watching. See you next time.
