Huawei has said it is still aiming to become the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturer – despite the fact its devices are not widely available in the US and that other countries are ramping up scrutiny of the firm’s mobile and networking products.
The Chinese mobile giant overtook Apple as the world’s second largest producer earlier this year as both Apple and Samsung struggle with the effects of market saturation.
Huawei’s feature packed but affordable devices have long been popular in its price-conscious homeland, where brand attachment is low, but advanced models like the Huawei P20 have won favour with critics and consumers in Western Europe. Sales have also been boosted by the mid-range Honor brand.
