"Personally, I respect the brand being able to withstand the challenges and hardships that they've been put through with such humility and grace."

Mr. James Lee (left) and his girlfriend, Ms. See Ying (right), have both recently made the switch to Huawei and are confident that the brand will continue to provide innovative technologies.

Ms. See Ying, age 23, who is a first-time user of Huawei with the P30 Pro, feels that there are plenty of opportunities ahead for the brand. "There is a famous quote that goes 'in the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity'. I have faith that Huawei will always be able to continue making innovative products in any circumstances as it is such a resilient and strong company."

Mr Daniel Lim has been holding on to his Huawei P10 for the past two years.

A long-time supporter, Mr. Daniel Lim, age 31, said, "There are no other phones that are in the same league as Huawei given its solid hardware. Its innovations are driven by the company's relentless attitude and I believe that it's a brand that is here to stay no matter the ongoing challenges."

In Singapore, Huawei has doubled its growth year-on-year and is expanding its services including Service Day^[5] that is held on the first weekend of every month to provide after-sales care for a growing customer base.

"The backbone of our success over the years has always been our customers who support the brand and believe in the innovations we offer," a spokesperson from Huawei Consumer Business Group Singapore said. "We'll like to thank all our supporters for believing in us. We would have never been able to come this far without the support of our customers."
