Here's another reason why Huawei is the smartphone maker to watch for this year - it just announced fantastic financial results for the past year.
According to Huawei, it is the first Chinese handset maker to ship more than 100 million units in 2015. In fact, it shipped about 108 million smartphones last year which is a 44% increase from 2014. This led to revenues exceeding US$20 billion, a whopping 70% increase from the year before! As a result, Huawei cemented its position among the top three in global market share behind Samsung and Apple. Other notable achievements include:
- Top three in market share in Spain, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and Portugal
- Ranked 88th in Interbrand's Top 100 Global Brands List (up from 94th in 2014)
- Named the 70th most valuable global brand according to BrandZ 100 list
The stellar performance last year was attributed to its successful products such as the Nexus 6P, Mate S and P8. The P8 reportedly reached 4.5 million in global shipments while shipments of Mate S exceeded 800,000 within the first four months of release. The Nexus 6P sold out on the Google Play Store within a month of its release.
