Huawei, the world's no.3 smartphone vendor, is getting ready to introduce Honor 8 smartphone, a newly-launched device in China a few days ago, to the US market by holding an official event in San Francisco on August 16, 2016.

Huawei is solidifying its world's 3rd biggest smartphone vendor ranking recent quarters based on the magnificent performance in five regions except North America, challenging Samsung and Apple, but this vendor has been struggling to gain a meaningful traction in North America including the US. We believe that Huawei is attempting to obtain higher market share in the US market by raising its corporate brand awareness through this event.
