Yes, it may have been misleading, but it will still sell insanely well, especially among women. And the upcoming Nova 14 series, Enjoy 70X+, and Enjoy 80 will definitely be affordable my everyone in China. Keep in mind, Huawei sold around 1.5M flip phones in China last year, which is more than the other brands combined. Huawei also passed Samsung for number 1 in global foldable sales last year. Huawei will easily sell over 2M flip phones this year, which is insane since they don't have overseas sales.
I would suggest not reading too much into social media comments on anything related to Huawei, or phones in general. The fact is social media does not reflect the views of the vast, vast majority of phone buyers, especially women or people middle-aged and above. For example, if you went by social media you would get the strong impression that the Mate XT tri-fold is selling poorly. But the sales of the Mate XT alone, despite starting at ¥19,999, are better than many brands' entire foldable sales.
Also, outside of the Mate 60 series, which took everyone by surprise, there's been a concerted effort by various groups to defame every single Huawei product. Huawei's legal department only recently stepped in, and people have been arrested as a result. I won't go into more details, but if you know, you know.
