If Huawei keep up the current trend, they could easily climb to the top of the Android market along with companies like Samsung. People like to treat Huawei like a niche brand, but the truth is that they have been gaining more and more popularity lately, and the name is currently well known all over the world.
They have been pushing forward with the release of their flagships in a very thoughtful manner, instead of just spamming the market with new devices, and this strategy will very likely pay off in the long run.
Establishing a recognizable brand which people associate with quality is just as important as staying afloat financially, but the two can often be difficult to balance for a company that doesn’t have a history of being associated with the forefront of the market.
There are rumors that Huawei are preparing even more interesting launches in the coming months, and while we have no concrete information about that, we certainly wouldn’t find it surprising. The launch of the P9 should give them plenty of funding for their next project, and they can now afford a little more freedom to experiment with new designs too. Their push for a camera-focused phone was already a winning move, so let’s see what else they can come up with, and what other trends they are going to revive – or establish.
