Like any self-respecting tech manufacturer, Huawei was also present at MWC 2015 to show off its latest products, including a pretty stylish smartwatch.

The head of the consumer division at Huawei, Richard Yu, was the one curating the product launch, and as usual, he was his outspoken self.

Yu prophesied that most Chinese smartphone makers would disappear in the next three to five years, so only the tough players would survive the fierce competition. Huawei will be among them, obviously.

Huawei finally feels ready to make a plunge in the US

It seems like Huawei feels it has an edge over local competitors, so in the future it aims to take on tech giants like Apple.

And a report coming out of Reuters confirms that the Chinese device maker is gearing up to bring its smartphone products to the US, where they will be sold directly under the Honor brand.

Huawei is aiming pretty big. As the new information indicates, the company will not only rely on carries and direct sales to penetrate the highly competitive US ecosystem. It will also employ a grand marketing scheme by using billboards and video ads to be broadcasted during sports events.

Currently, Huawei is rocking two flagships, the Honor 6 Plus (with its impressive dual-camera) and the Ascent Mate 7 (launched at IFA 2014), which are a tad more affordable than similar products coming out of Samsung and Apple.

Huawei is not only aiming to attack Apple on the smartphone front. It is also looking towards smartwatches.

Albeit unveiling the Watch back in 2014, Apple is yet to start selling the product. Huawei believes that, since Apple’s smartwatch business is in its infancy, they can produce better products.

Huawei is free to tackle the US

Back in 2013, the US Congressional report labeled Huawei products as a “national security risk,” saying that the Chinese government might be using their devices for spying. A White House-ordered review of the company’s devices found no conclusive evidence to indicate spying.

So that left the gates open to Huawei to try and make a dab into the US market. Fast forward two years, the company is getting ready to take the big step, although none of the four big American carriers have commented on whether they accepted to sell Huawei handsets on their networks.
