Context

Notes

  • Reuters 2026-03-27 exclusive is the primary pricing source; Chinese coverage (Sina Finance 2026-03-30) attributes the 50k/70k figures to the 950PR specifically.
  • ByteDance reported locking ~250,000 units (~297亿元) and the three Chinese carriers collectively procuring 200,000+ units (single-source Chinese media reporting).
