VIDEO : Huawei Had Great 2017

Following a lackluster 2016, Huawei?s star is on the rise, with the Chinese tech company enjoying a strong increase in sales over 2017. 2017 was a rollercoaster of a year for Huawei. The Mate 10 Pro was one of our favorite phones of the year, packing an amazing camera and exceptional battery life. The Chinese company also came third in overall smartphone sales for the last part of the year. Despite those victories, it has been continually hampered by an inability to break into the U.S. market, culminating in various U.S. carriers and retailers cutting ties with Huawei in early 2018, following paranoia over links to the Chinese government.
