According to the introduction of the Russian News, the data of Russia's largest mobile operator, MTS, showed that in the first quarter of 2016, Huawei's mobile phone sales in Russia exceeded 124000 units, 8 times the number in the first quarter of 2015, and the sales volume was 23.39 million dollars, 10 times the number in the first quarter of last year. However, mobile operator MTS said that Huawei's market share in Russia is still very low, only 2.5%, compared with 1% a year ago.

Large digital product retailers in Russia said that the market share of Huawei products has been rising, in which the Honor brand of Huawei has also contributed. Huawei said that the main reason why Huawei achieved good results in 2015-2016 was that it increased a lot of advertising and marketing investment in Russia.
