Huawei expects strong sales for new Ascend P7

The phone has been well received online and selling quickly from online stores.

Huawei sold 52 million units of smart phones in 2013, making it the third largest producer of smart phones after Samsung and Apple, though it is still far behind the two leaders in terms of sales value.

The company is hoping to capture more of the market in the coming years by capitalizing on its advantage in LTE technology. At the CommunicAsia from June 17 to June 20, Huawei put on display products such as the 4G LTE-enabled Ascend G6 and the LTE Cat-4 enabled MediaPad X1.

At another briefing on Tuesday, a senior executive of Huawei said that the company has raised the growth target for its enterprise business group this year to 40 percent from the previously announced target of 30 percent.

William Dong, president of solutions and marketing department, South Pacific enterprise business department, said that the target for the South Pacific regional market is similar to the overall growth target for the enterprise business group, and that it expects the growth to come from sectors such as government services, transportation and utilities.

Dong said that while the sales for markets like Indonesia have great potentials, Huawei has seen very strong sales growth in the enterprise business segment in Singapore and Australia. He said he is expecting the enterprise business revenue this year to at least double for the Singapore market, and close to double for the Australia market.

The revenue of Huawei's enterprise business group grew by 32.4 percent year on year in 2013 to hit 15.3 billion yuan ($2.45 billion), or over 6 percent of Huawei's total revenue.
