The Tale of Two Markets: Why Huaqiangbei is Saying "No" to the Base Model.

While the world watches the Huawei Mate 70 launch, the real story is happening on the ground in Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei.

This week's trade-in data reveals a fascinating polarization: 📉 The Standard Mate 70: Trading below retail price immediately upon release ("broken price"). Dealers are risk-averse. 📈 The Pro & RS Models: Commanding premiums of 1,000–2,000 RMB due to scarcity.

The secondary market is becoming hyper-selective. Brand hype alone no longer guarantees premiums; users and recyclers are paying strictly for differentiation (Pro specs/features). For supply chain professionals, this signals a need for more granular inventory management—the "flagship" label is no longer a blanket safety net.
