Who is crazy enough to buy a porsche phone that costs so much? Even for a rich country like Germany the market for such thin is thin. For a few people. Most Germans care a lot about money, how to make the most out of an euro. Look the success of discount supermarkets as Lidl and Aldi, where the people storm the cheap shops as if there is no tomorrow.

Don't underestimate the number of rich people.....
Poor people should not think on behalf of the rich.
Viets can buy a OPPO F1plus priced at $350 which is not in proportion of affordability of regular Viet.

Huawei wants to beat Apple in smartphones in 2 years

China Daily, November 4, 2016

China's Huawei Technologies wants to be the world's second-largest maker of smartphones in two years, Richard Yu, chief executive of Huawei's consumer business group, told Reuters on Thursday.

Having made its name as a builder of telecommunications networks, Huawei has been active in the consumer devices market for only a few years and is now the third-biggest smartphone maker after Apple Inc and the world leader in the $400 billion market, Samsung Electronics.

"When we announced four years ago that we wanted to sell phones, people told us we were crazy. When we said we wanted to sell 100 million phones, they told us we were crazy," Yu said at a launch event in Munich.

Huawei on Thursday launched a new premium phone, which will sell for 699 euros ($776) apiece. A version developed with Porsche Design will cost 1,395 euros.

The phone has a new artificial intelligence feature: It can learn about its user's habits and automatically put the most frequently used apps in easy reach.

Huawei was the world's third-largest smartphone maker in the third quarter with 33.6 million shipped devices, giving it a 9 percent market share, according to research firm Strategy Analytics.

Apple was still well ahead with 45.5 million devices, or a 12 percent market share. Samsung was the world leader with 75.3 million shipped devices and a market share of 20.1 percent.

"We are going to take them (Apple) step-by-step, innovation-by-innovation," Yu said, adding that he expected to improve Huawei's position along with technology shifts.

"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."

With the new phone, dubbed Mate 9, Yu expects to make a break in European markets such as Germany, France and Great Britain. "In Finland, we are already number one," he said.

With Apple struggling to come up with surprise designs and Samsung reeling from having to scrap its flagship phone, Yu said Huawei was at a tipping point.

"Step-by-step we are winning the trust and loyalty of the customers. It is about trust and loyalty."

@AndrewJin , @cirr , I have decided. I will buy a Huawei Mate 9. Just waiting to receive an honorarium from a publication. It has everything I want, including the full logo on the back.

But I am more like a see and feel person when shopping. So, probably, I will skip the online shopping craziness on this.

Regular one, definitely. The Porsche Edition has a smaller screen, doesn't it? I like wide screen more.

 

[AndrewJin]

Regular one, definitely.

Buy it in mainland.
It is said that cheapest model will be around 450 euro in China.

Yes, I should try to be in the Mainland. I think in Taiwan the price will be around 16.000 to 20.000.

KIEV, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- China' s technology giant Huawei on Friday has launched its "Seeds for the Future" international educational program in Ukraine, under which 10 Ukrainian students will be trained in China by Huawei specialists.

A ceremony to start the project was held in Kiev with the participation of Chinese Ambassador to Ukraine Du Wei and Ukrainian Deputy Education Minister Vladimir Kovtunets.

Under the initiative, students of three leading Ukrainian universities will be given an opportunity to travel to China, where they will deepen their knowledge in information and communications technology (ICT) in the Huawei's headquarters in Shenzhen.

During the ceremony, Liu Hongyun, president of Huawei Technologies office in Central Asia and Caucasus, called on the Ukrainian young talents to fully use all the opportunities of the program to improve their skills.

"I do believe that this trip to China will broaden your knowledge, technologies, and besides, leave an authentic understanding of the history and the culture of China. I wish you all the best in the upcoming trip to China," Liu said.

Meanwhile, Anastasia Nedosekova, a student of the National Technical University "Kiev Polytechnics" , said he views the participation in the Huawei' s program as a chance to develop her country.

"I am very pleased to have this opportunity, I hope that it will help me develop myself and develop my country. I'm going to China with great feelings and a good mood inside," Nedosekova said.

Huawei's "Seeds for the Future" program, which started in 2008, is designed to improve the global educational environment and provide young talented people around the world with more educational opportunities.

The project is aimed at cultivating local ICT talents, promoting knowledge exchange, improving people's interest in the telecom industry, and encouraging countries and regions to participate in the building of digital communities.

The program has already promoted ICT education in 67 countries and regions across five continents, benefiting over 15,000 students from 150 universities.

During the last five years, over 500 students from 23 European countries have taken part in this program.

Huawei's Mate 9 Porsche Design is doing extremely well in Europe.

Ditto home market?

MATE9保时捷版本，喜欢的能买到就买吧，真有可能要抢的。由于欧洲已经发布正式定价，很多人已快速下单做圣诞礼物，惊爆欧洲网上全款一天订购量已经达十六万。而国内各个终端大小领导收到亲朋好友、关系客户的委托更是汹涌而来。其中一个民营巨头一开口就要定几百个保时捷版本做年终抽奖；而金融行业也是需求喷发、这行业包括订普通MATE9都极多，信号、续航、安全、流畅性、系统可靠和照相都是他们看中的。在德国参加发布会的一个华为PR兄弟自己都赞不绝口，华为商城预订高配很快就定光。这个形势有点像MATE7供不应求时期的特点了。

Huawei Working on “Concept Phone” Like Xiaomi Mi MIX But With Quad-Edge Screen

NOVEMBER 7, 20164 VIEWS

Xiaomi recently held an event and launched two new smartphones. One was the much-awaited Mi Note 2, but the second device was totally unexpected. Yes, we are talking about the Xiaomi Mi MIX that has got a bezel-less display and looks like a concept phone. The phone will surely do great business in China, but it looks like it’s about to face some tough competition soon.

Huawei is said to be working on a new smartphone that will look like a concept phone, which means it will have a futuristic look and possibly a bezel-less screen. This leak was posted by a popular Chinese tipster on microblogging site Weibo. Also, we have been seeing smartphones with curved Edge display and dual curved displays. However, the new Huawei smartphone is rumored to come with a quad-curved screen!

That’s right. Four curved edges for the display. This could mean that the phone might be curved on all the sides, giving it a truly borderless, free-falling look. If that’s possible, it will really give a stunning appearance to the device. Lastly, the Weibo post also mentions that the Huawei concept phone might get released under a new brand, probably like Honor. It may be a new product line with a new name, but nothing is certain right now.

If Huawei manages to get it right with the design and pricing of the Quad-Edge phone, it will surely give a tough competition to the new Xiaomi Mi MIX. What do you think? Isn’t the news exciting?

Huawei has broken out in a sprint growing its smart phone shipments by 70 per cent annually in EMEA. Q3 is also the first time Huawei has shipped over 10 million units in the region in a single quarter. This put the Chinese smartphone major at number three with 14 per cent of smart phone shipments, behind Apple’s 15 per cent and Samsung at 37 per cent, said a new report by research firm Canalys.

“Huawei is becoming much smarter in Europe. It has now evolved to become a major smart phone brand and innovator in its own right,” said Ben Stanton, Research Analyst at Canalys. He said Huawei’s focus this year has been on premium design and branding, with a series of celebrity endorsement deals, as well as product partnerships with the likes of Leica and Porsche Design. “It is clearly trying to break away from its past, and create a brand to rival Apple and Samsung.” Earlier it used to focus on price-to-performance ratio, a good disruptive strategy at the time.

Huawei has already shipped just over 26 million smart phones in EMEA this year, exceeding its total from full-year 2015, with the lucrative holiday season still to come, Canalys said. The company is also key player in developing markets in the Middle East and Africa, where its low-end devices are helping to increase smart phone penetration. It is also making significant inroads into the high-volume Indian market.

However, its 33 per cent sequential growth in Europe is thanks to its focus on improving industrial design has been an important factor behind its success, and helped it to displace the likes of Sony, LG and HTC, Canalys said. Huawei’s mid-range and premium devices like the P9 have allowed it consolidate this position.

However, Stanton said Huawei still has issues with specification overlap between different product lines, though it is certainly in a strong position to keep growing. “It launched the Mate 9 at the perfect time to exploit Samsung’s Note7 fiasco. As the Note5, along with other competing products, such as the LG V20 and Xiaomi Mi Note 2, never launched in Europe, Huawei now finds itself with no major competition in the 5.5-inch plus segment. It will be hard to entice European consumers to upgrade to super-large screens en masse. But if the appetite exists, Huawei has a real opportunity to become the pre-eminent vendor in that category.”

Rebranding is paramount to all Chinese smart phone companies.
They've got the technology, now they need marketing and brand image building.
