Huawei is expecting to ship more than 200 million smartphones in 2018. This would be a tremendous success after a slower 2017. If the Chinese company manages to indeed cross the 200 million mark, it would represent a 31 percent growth in shipments over 2017’s 153 million smartphones. It would also mean that it could grow 10 percent over a strong 2016.
After becoming the world’s second smartphone vendor for the second quarter of 2018 (overtaking Apple), Huawei has a really strong position.
