Brittney Jones is something of a rarity among U.S. smartphone users. She prefers Huawei. She is part of such a small group that the 27-year-old Olympia, Washington, resident says she has never met another Huawei owner, save for the man she bought the handset from for $800 in cash last year after seeing a listing on Craigslist. Jones bought the device, she said, because of its superior front-facing camera, perfect for taking selfies. "I didn't really care what the name was," said Jones, a student, who researched the phone online. "It's not fair that we don't have access to the best technologies in the U.S. I should be able to just go to the store and buy the best phone out there."Huawei -- pronounced "hwa-way" -- has 0.03% of the U.S. market share for handset sales, according to Gartner, and is available primarily on Amazon. But abroad, it is a giant and, until a kerfuffle with the Trump administration this month, was on a clear path to overtake Apple as the second largest seller of … [Read more...] about Huawei has tiny presence in US, huge global footprint

Alex Lockie, provided by Published 5:11 pm CST, Monday, January 28, 2019 REUTERS/Joshua Roberts The US on Monday charged Chinese tech giant Huawei, its chief financial officer, and two affiliates with bank and wire fraud in a crackdown on the company, which is legally required to assist China's Communist Party at the government's request. The Justice Department said Huawei tricked a global bank into doing sanctions-violating business with Iran and stole trade secrets from T-Mobile. Huawei has long stood accused of trying to hack into governments, and US companies in China accused the smartphone giant of forced technology transfer.

Huawei UK revenues and profits slide as security challenges pile up
Chinese telecoms company Huawei has suffered slipping revenues in the UK as security concerns mount for the tech giant ahead of global deployment of faster mobile network technology. Huawei's UK revenues fell 14pc, down from £908m to £781m for the year ending in December 2017. Profits also slipped, down 9.6pc to £36.6m. Huawei blamed a "challenging and competitive" environment. "The UK telecommunication market had experienced downturns in the past year, in which operators substantially reduced their capital spending on new equipment," Huawei said in its accounts. Global telecoms providers have been enduring a steady market slowdown as 4G saturation reaches its peak. Huawei, and rivals like Nokia and Ericsson, are now gearing up for the deployment of 5G technology, the latest ultra-fast network that is expected to lead to billions more connected devices from internet of things devices to driverless cars. Huawei has had some early success in negotiating new 5G deals. The … [Read more...] about Huawei UK revenues and profits slide as security challenges pile up

LONDON -- Huawei, the world's second largest smartphone maker, is expected to showcase here Tuesday its latest Mate flagship to take on supersized offerings from Apple, Samsung and Google. The Mate 20 series, the first phones to be powered with Huawei's own Kirin 980 chip, will be unveiled at the ExCel Exhibition Center at 1 p.m. (8 p.m. in Manila). Shenzhen-based Huawei, which recently overtook Apple in terms of sales, is teasing "higher intelligence" for the Mate 20 line, which is traditionally geared towards power users and carriers over the camera technology from the P Series that are released earlier in the year. The P20 Pro, which went on sale in April, was the first to offer triple rear cameras, engineered by Leica. It's the highest rated mobile camera on review website DxOMark, with its artificial intelligence-assisted scene recognition and up to 5 times optical and digital zoom.
