The Company released it P20 series of smartphones recently, and it is, therefore, looking on to other markets to meet its 2018 sales targets.
At the unveiling of the P20 series in its home market recently, Huawei CEO did says the company hoped to record up to 15 – 20 million units of the flagship P20 in 2018 alone and going with official reports, the company seems to have kicked off on a promising note.
