Huawei to beat Samsung,Techno,All other Android without going public??

According to a news Source,Over the past few years, whenever I have been asked which Chinese company is on my radar, I keep mentioning Huawei Technologies. 

Huawei is rarely a topic of conversation in Japan, possibly because it is unlisted. Recently, however, the name recognition of this telecommunications equipment manufacturer is increasing in my country because its smartphones have become available here. 

In the global smartphone market, Huawei has already captured the third-largest share after Samsung Electronics and Apple. The question is whether it can overtake the South Korean giant without going public. 

In its Jan. 6 online edition, The Nikkei reported from Las Vegas that Huawei wants to expand in the U.S. and plans to do so via a smartphone that adopts Amazon's artificial intelligence technology. At a press event during the 2017 International Consumer Electronics Show, Huawei announced the U.S. release of its Mate 9 smartphone equipped with an app that uses Amazon's AI called Alexa.

The announcement was made while Amazon Vice President Steve Rabuchin was on the stage. Upon seeing this, I thought to myself, Huawei will use Amazon's prowess to pry open the door. 

Great American wall

In the global smartphone market in the third quarter of 2016, Samsung had a 19.2% share followed by Apple at 11.5% and Huawei at 8.7%, according to American market research company Gartner.

Richard Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer group, said the company will seek to become the world's second-largest smartphone maker by 2018 and capture the top spot in four to five years. He said this in an interview carried in The Wall Street Journal's online Japanese-language edition on Sept. 2, 2016.

While the U.S. market holds the key to Huawei's plan to surpass Apple and Samsung, the Shenzhen-based company has long been shut out there over speculation that the company has a special relationship with the Chinese government because of founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei's background as a former People's Liberation Army officer. 

The U.S. Congress has continued to demand that Huawei's telecom equipment not be used for fear that it may be co-opted for Chinese espionage activities. Although Huawei has denied the allegation, its smartphone market share in the U.S. is said to be less than 1%.
