Huawei MateXT Becomes "Electronic Moutai", Scalpers Inflate Prices, Some Pay Over 100,000 Yuan for One!

Kuaitech.com, September 11: Huawei's latest tri-folding smartphone, MateXT, has become a hot commodity due to limited initial supply, leading to a situation where it's hard to find one. This has also presented a huge opportunity for "scalpers" who have seized the chance to inflate the price of MateXT, even exceeding that of the previously released iPhone 16.

On the second-hand platform Xianyu, many sellers have already listed MateXT for sale with inflated prices, offering pre-orders. Prices are mind-boggling, ranging from tens of thousands to almost one hundred thousand yuan. One seller priced it at 68,800 yuan, even stating, "I'm trying to get one through multiple channels, I will have one eventually, contact me if you're interested." Others listed at 100,000 yuan, even hundreds of thousands, even though these prices are suspected to be hype, some are still willing to pay exorbitant prices to get one.

Besides Xianyu, on the e-commerce platform DeWu, Huawei MateXT was also inflated in price before its release. Users posted images showing a product link priced at 99,900 yuan, which was purchased by multiple users (full payment). This makes one wonder, Huawei MateXT has truly become "Electronic Moutai," its popularity and price markups even surpass high-end liquor.

As Huawei's latest flagship model, MateXT's powerful performance and innovative design have undoubtedly attracted the attention of many users. However, due to supply chain restrictions, it is difficult to meet market demand in the short term, leading to price inflation and forcing some users to buy at inflated prices.

This phenomenon also reflects the strong market demand for high-end smartphones, and some rare flagship models are more likely to become "targets of speculation." It also reminds us to be rational consumers when buying new phones to avoid being affected by scalpers' inflated prices.

It is important to note that buying high-priced phones carries risks, as market prices may fluctuate over time, and buyers need to consider this carefully. Also, be wary of counterfeit products to avoid being scammed.

In conclusion, the phenomenon of Huawei MateXT becoming "Electronic Moutai," while reflecting the market demand for high-end smartphones, also reflects some unreasonable market practices. We hope relevant departments will strengthen supervision, maintain a normal market order, and allow consumers to purchase their desired products at reasonable prices.
