LONDON: It appears Chinese mobile maker Huawei Technologies isn’t only a favorite in its home market, but overseas as well.
The Shenzhen-based tech giant has revealed it shipped 108 million smartphones in 2015, exceeding its own expectations with a 44 percent increase in sales, compared to 2014.
On top of that, Huawei’s revenue rose to over $20 billion, an increase of almost 70 percent year-over-year, demonstrating that its business — which sells smartphones and tablets — is proving popular among Western Europe as well as domestic consumers.
Huawei’s two greatest smartphone rivals worldwide are leading brands Apple and Samsung; however the future of both of these brands are being questioned as they enter 2016.
