Jim Xu: How Huawei Took a Bite Out of Apple

As of the first two quarters of this year, Huawei has overtaken Apple as the world’s second biggest smartphone manufacturer.

Apple’s lagging iPhone sales, coupled with the newer launches of the Mate 10 series and the P20 series have resulted in Huawei capturing a larger slice of the market share from the hands of Apple.

But with Samsung, being the unassailable leader in the mobile business, there is still plenty of room to grow for Huawei. Ibrahim Sani asks Jim Xu, President of Huawei Mobile what has worked well for the company. But more importantly, what failures that the company has done and the lessons learnt from it.
