Huawei is the second largest smartphone manufacturer globally, with the Chinese fighting to catch up with the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in this market, Q2 2018 being the time when the objective was met. Huawei announced that it sold more than 100 million smartphones in S1 2018, and on this occasion it decided to set the goal of exceeding 200 million units sold by the end of the year, coming seriously close to Apple .
Huawei will more than likely surpass Apple in smartphone sales in T3 2018, so in T4 the Americans will definitely return to second position, and this is because there is a major problem that the Chinese cannot solve easily. Huawei is prohibited from selling its products in the US, and this is because the Americans would have discovered that the information stored, or transferred, by the Chinese products would also reach the Chinese government.
Huawei: HUGE PROBLEM Very Hard to Solve
Huawei has also set a bold goal of surpassing Samsung in smartphone sales, but without being able to sell its phones in the US, it has little chance of achieving this goal. Huawei knows how big its problems are with the American government, but despite all the assurances given by the Chinese regarding the safety of their products, Donald Trump does not seem to be too impressed, or too eager to allow them to sell their products in the country.
Huawei knows that the US is a market it cannot conquer, so it is reorienting itself towards other developing markets, including the European one, but it is difficult to surpass Samsung with just that. To be completely honest, I think that Huawei has a chance to surpass Apple in 2018, but if it doesn't do it now, then in 2019 it will definitely succeed, but the plans to reach Samsung from behind are very far from being realized, the a little in the current context.
