In a report just released a few days ago, Huawei is seen as part of the top 4 world's largest smartphone makers in Q4 of 2014. It has retained that spot since Q4 of 2013 but in terms of number, they have increased shipments from Q4 of 2013 at 16.6 million units to 74.1 million units on Q4 of 2014! Such a huge increase that Samsung admitted that Huawei is among the toughest competition they have other than Apple and the upcoming rising giant, Xiaomi.
One of their latest release last Q4 of 2014 was the Huawei Ascend Mate7. A very classy looking phone that is sleek, slim and a body made mostly out of metal. It also has a huge display at 6" and is considered already as a phablet. As huge as the screen is, it has an almost invisible bezel making the size more compact compared to other 6" screen smartphones (83% screen to body ratio and 2.9mm narrow bezel).
