HUAWEI welcomes
the New Year with renewed hope and vigor as the company embarks on a journey
towards global prominence by bringing innovative technology to people. This was
stated by Richard Yu, CEO, HUAWEI CBG in his New Year message for HUAWEI
employees worldwide.
2017
was a phenomenal year for HUAWEI. Its global market share exceeded 10%
cementing its rank as one of the top three players – thereby narrowing the gap between
the top two players. HUAWEI CBG expects to generate a revenue of CNY 236
billion in 2017, a year-on-year increase of around 30% while the annual global
shipments of HUAWEI and Honor smartphones are expected to reach 153 million
units.
In
the fourth quarter of 2017, HUAWEI launched the HUAWEI Mate 10 series, which
received a great response worldwide. The range consisted HUAWEI Mate 10 and
HUAWEI Mate 10 Pro – the world's first smartphone powered by an AI chip – a
true milestone. These devices officially marked the beginning of HUAWEI’s evolution
from smartphones to intelligent phones and ushered the smartphone industry into
the AI era.
After
its launch, the HUAWEI Mate 10 series has remained a bestseller. It was named
the best smartphone by Forbes, and was lauded as the best Android phone, the
most stylish phone, and the phone to watch in 2018. In the UK, TechRadar rated
the HUAWEI Mate 10 Pro as having the largest battery capacity of any of its
main competitors. In addition, it topped reviews by German technology and media
publications Connect and Areamobile, received the best reviews from China
Mobile, and even won the Swan Award, the top honor for mobile phone design in
China.
HUAWEI’s
brand awareness also jumped from 81% in 2016 to 85% in 2017, and it reached 70thon
Interbrand's Top 100 Best Global Brands. Outside China, the number of consumers
considering buying a HUAWEI device saw a 100% increase when compared with 2016.
In the Chinese market, HUAWEI was the first Chinese mobile phone brand to top customer
satisfaction rankings.
In
2017, HUAWEI made many breakthroughs in consumer experience improvement, cloud
services, and branding. The EMUI 8.0 further addressed the issue of Android
phones slowing down over time and delivered faster speeds. The number of HUAWEI
consumer cloud service users now exceeds 340 million, with an increase in user
loyalty. In addition, 350,000 developers have registered to be part of HUAWEI’s
consumer cloud services. The ecosystem has taken shape, and the company has
taken a major step forward in overall privacy and security.
