Chinese telecommunications equipment maker, Huawei Technologies, is eyeing smartphone expansion in the US, Reuters reported. Executive vice president of Huawei’s consumer business group Colin Giles said the company was taking early steps in the US to build better relationships with mobile operators and directly with consumers via online shops. “Recently there has been quite some change in the US in terms of the whole subsidy landscape, and so that provides a new opportunity for players like us …,” he said. Some mobile operators in the US are ditching bulk phone buy-ups and long-term contracts, which could give Huawei more room in the market.
