Huawei has recently launched a new flagship phablet device Mate 9 along with a higher variant Mate 9 Porsche Design (limited edition). Mate 9 looks to be another stunning device and Huawei introduced a new efficient Artificially Intelligent service which automatically learns about its owner behavior and instructs the device to prioritize the apps accordingly. Huawei is definitely looking strong for number 2 candidate as expressed by Exec.

There will be more opportunities. Artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality," he said. "It is like driving a car. At every curve or turn, there is an opportunity to overtake the competition."

A Look at Third Quarter Stats:

The recent third quarter results have revealed that Huawei is progressing at a rapid pace and the gap between Huawei and Apple is narrowing. Huawei sold 33.6 million phones in third quarter of 2016, in the same quarter of 2015, it has sold 27.3 million units. The gap between Apple and Huawei in terms of sold units is 12 million units, which is looking significant.
