Huawei has 42 pct of Angola’s mobile phone market

Chinese telecommunications group Huawei has a share of 42 percent of the mobile phone market in Angola, according to the director of Huawei Angola, James Yang, at a presentation in Luanda of the Ascend P7 smartphone.
Yang, after noting Huawei is the world’s third largest mobile phone manufacturer, said Huawei Angola had sold devices worth a total of USD1.2 billion dollars in the eight years it has been in the country.
“These sales are evidence of the recognition of our brand, which is increasingly expanding in important regions such as China, Western Europe and Africa,” Yang said.
Cited by Angolan state newspaper Jornal de Angola, the Deputy Director of Huawei Angola, Daniel Tong, said he expected sales of more than thousand units of the Ascend P7 in 2015, which costs 70,000 kwanzas (US$687) in the Angolan market.  MDT/Macauhub
