China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd has taken sales of its low-price Honor brand of smartphones to 20 million from 1 million in just one year. Huawei executives hope to emulate the phenomenal growth of Xiaomi, which broke into the global top five in just a few years - a success not likely to go unnoticed by the growing ranks of low-cost Chinese smartphone makers.
Huawei told media the goals of the flagship shop are to make more Cameroonians know and buy Huawei mobile phones, and also to provide satisfactory after sale service to the customers. Huawei hoped the opening of the shop will further promote the company in Cameroon and help it take more share in the mobile phone market.
Huawei announced its procurement plan after the European Commission finally decided to drop its anti-subsidies investigation into China's telecommunication imports into the EU market. "Europe remains our top investment destination," said Kevin Tao, President of Huawei Western Europe.
China's private company Huawei has made it to a list of the world's top 100 brands, according to the ranking released on Thursday. Huawei is the first Chinese brand to make it to the top 100 brands list.
