Huawei, saingan kami Samsung Bukan Xiomi

Sedangkan Samsung dan Apple mengisi posisi satu dan dua dengan angka penjualan yang cukup sulit disaingi. Meski bersaing dengan produsen ponsel China lainnya seperti Xiaomi, petinggi Huawei ogah bila perusahaannya disetarakan.

Richard Yu yang merupakan salah satu eksekutif Huawei mengatakan target yang diincarnya adalah Samsung sebagai pemuncak posisi. Bahkan Yu sampai berani mengatakan bahwa Xiaomi tak punya peluang bila berhadapan dengan Huawei, tepatnya di segmen ponsel kelas atas.

Yu lantas mengarahkan pernyataannya ke ponsel Mi Note yang baru dirilis Xiaomi. Menurutnya, ponsel buatan Xiami itu bukanlah lawan sepadan bagi Huawei Ascend Mate7 yang jadi jagoan Huawei. Banyak kelebihan Huawei Ascend Mate 7 yang tak ada di Mi Note. Namun Yu tidak menjelaskan lebih lanjut kelebihan yang dimaksud.

Menurut Yu lagi, Xiaomi pantasnya berkompetisi di ranah ponsel menengah, bukannya di ponsel kelas atas yang diisi oleh Mate7, Ascend P7, dan Honor 6 Plus yang merupakan ponsel flagship Huawei.
