Huawei CEO: We Can Overtake Apple and Samsung
Currently the smartphone market is dominated by Apple and Samsung. These two companies have nearly 90 percent of the smartphone marketshare.
However, Wan Biao – chief executive of Huawei Devices, believes his company can give these two companies a run for their money.
“Wan Biao is the chief executive of Huawei Devices, the division of the company leading the charge to move from controversial infrastructure provider to a top global company whose products consumers aspire to own,” Matt Warman writes for The Telegraph. “He’s aiming for nothing less than challenging Samsung and Apple. If he has his way, it won’t be long before we’re queuing round the block for a smartphone branded “Ascend”. It couldn’t be more aptly named.”
According to the report, Wan Biao had this to say:
[quote] If you look back five years ago, Apple is small, Samsung is not so big. You can’t see where we’ll be in five years. At least top three. Maybe number one.
Our philosophy is that, within any one price segment, Huawei’s the best one. And in the price segment of the iPhone, second half of this year, we have a new flagship, targeted at the higher end.
Ours is the only one, the fastest 4G smartphone in the world.
Why can we have these kind of technologies? Because we come from the network side. When we develop our network side, we develop our chip set alongside it. No one else can do that; only Huawei can do that. Samsung can’t do that. And we have 10,000 research and development engineers developing radio technologies. Samsung has the technology of the display. Huawei has telecommunications.
The priority is to keep innovating from our experience on the network side. We can make these smartphones with low power consumption and make the voice more clear and the video clearer, so that’s our differentiation.[/quote]
Sounds great! Best of luck.
