Huawei smartphone shipments up 26% in Q3 to 16.8 mln

2014-10-23 11:55:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Huawei Technologies said its third-quarter smartphone shipments jumped 26 percent year-on-year to 16.8 million worldwide. About a quarter of those were mid- to high-end models, more than twice as many as the same period last year. "We are breaking our bottlenecks of mid- to high-end models step by step, especially in overseas markets," Huawei consumer business group marketing executive Shao Yang told Reuters in an interview. To further expand in the high end of the market, Huawei plans to increase its global marketing budget at least 30 percent in 2015, compared with USD 440 million this year, he said. The company has shipped 51 million smartphones globally in the first three quarters of 2014, about 63.8 percent of its annual shipment target of 80 million. Shao said he expected quarter-on-quarter shipments growth of up to 80 percent in the fourth quarter. A little more than half of Huawei's smartphone shipments went to China in the third quarter. Elsewhere, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific recorded the strongest growth.

Huawei H1 smartphone shipments up 62% in over 34 mln units

2014-07-29 09:03:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Huawei reported its first-half smartphone shipments up 62 percent year-on-year to 34.27 million units. The company's consumer division shipped in total 64.21 million devices in the six months. The growth was driven by new flagship models such as the Mate 2 4G and Ascend P7, Huawei said. The P7, which features LTE and an 8-megapixel front camera, sold nearly 2 million units less than two months after its launch. Sales were helped by the company's increased marketing, including sponsorship of a number of well-known football clubs in Europe. The company achieved a market share of 3 percent in Germany and Spain and aims to grow this to 5 percent soon. In Q2 alone, Huawei shipped 20.56 million smartphones to markets in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, an increase of 85 percent compared to last year. Shipments grew 550 percent in the Middle East and Africa, 275 percent in Latin America, 180 percent in Asia-Pacific and 120 percent in Europe.
