Huawei’s phone sales are ballooning while Apple and Samsung’s slump

Apple would not be destroyed in the US , lol. Huawei would steal some of their sales with their flagship spec midrange priced phones. Now they seem to be raising their prices. I will be honest if they were to sell on the US I would consider some of their phones, they're on a roll currently.

even most expensive Huawei flagship get cheaper after few months of release which make them better buy and you should not bother about privacy when you are using google because they steal more data than anyone else

I agree, the user interface on Huawei's EMUI is a weak point. It took me a while to get used to it, and I still don't think the settings menu is intuitive at all.

But I wouldn't say it is bad overall, just that it needs to go further to compete with the others.

Weak point of Huawei is that they did stop this service of " unlocking bootloader" which is must in android to flash stock android software if you are not fancy of custom firmware that's why I have seen many people are buying Xiaomi now ..Samsung software is also sluggish even though they also provide great hardware...People love stock android either opt pixel or one plus or others phones which are developer friendly

Tut, tut, tu @Hamartia Antidote, if China does not sell to the US but sells it all over the planet, Huawei is considered unsuccessful?

Is it China's fault that the US is scared of China's tech?

Who says Huawei isn’t successful? Why would you think otherwise?

Chinese tech giant Huawei reported a 149 percent rise in research and development spending from 2014 to 2018, faster than its counterparts Apple and Samsung, according to a Bloomberg report released last Friday.

The company's R&D expenditure increase was just behind Amazon, which rose 210 percent during the 5-year period.

In 2018, Huawei spent $15.3 billion on technology R&D, ranking in fourth place following Samsung, Google's parent Alphabet and Amazon. Data also showed the company took 14 percent of its annual sales on research last year, the second-highest after Alphabet.

Huawei's R&D spending totaled 480 billion yuan ($71.3 billion) over the past 10 years, according to its annual report. Besides, the tech behemoth achieved 721.2 billion yuan in global sales in 2018, a 19.5 percent increase year-on-year, and net profit reached 59.3 billion yuan, up 25.1 percent compared with a year earlier.

Smartphone sales from the company gained 348.9 billion yuan last year, a 45.1 percent rise year-on-year accounting for 48.4 percent of total revenue.

As of April 15, Huawei has secured 40 commercial contracts for 5G equipment and shipped over 70,000 5G base stations, the company announced at its annual Global Analyst Summit.

The telecoms leader will also invest $300 million annually to support academic research on basic science, technology and technological innovation, said Xu Wenwei, Huawei's director of the board and president of the company's newly established Institute of Strategic Research.

Huawei posted first quarter revenue of 179.7 billion yuan last Monday, a year-on-year growth of 39 percent.

Good, China should ban apple next in their market to finally bankrupt that shitty murican company.

Apple was started by the son of a Syrian migrant, who died prematurely, and now the company is staffed by zionists.

Apple and Microsoft were great companies that eventually went bad.
