Despite significant challenges in getting into the US market, Huawei has become the second largest phone manufacture, measured in phone shipments, in the latest report from IDC.  The shipping of 54.2 million devices in the second quarter of 2018 means that the Chinese manufacture has moved well past Apple, who was number two behind Samsung until this report.  Apple shipped 41.3 million devices in the same quarter.

Overall, Samsung remains the number one phone manufacture in the world, capturing some 20.9% of the global market with 71.5 million units shipping in Q2 of this year.  Huawei has approximately 15.8% of the market share.

The powerful but budget friendly Huawei Matebook D has made its way to the US.  Powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 2500U quad-core and coupled with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, the 14″ touchscreen uni-body laptop is priced at $599 currently exclusively at Walmart, both in store and online.  The Matebook D is aimed to bring the quality of Huawei laptops at a more affordable price.  It also represents a new breed of Windows 10 laptops that are powered by mobile SoCs to maximize performance while also being gentle on the battery.

The AMD RyzenTM 5 2500U is clocked at 2GHz and will burst up to 3.6GHz.  It is coupled with the Radeon Vega8 Graphics processor.  Display wise, it has a 14″ touchscreen that renders at 1900 x 1080 to give you at 16:9 ratio.  All of this is coupled with four speaker Dolby ATMOS sound output to give great audio performance.

The Android Enterprise Recommended program has been expanded and now includes Android tablets for the first time.  The new Huawei MediaPad M5 tablets, which were announced as being available in the US yesterday, are now a part of the program.

For those that don’d recall, the Android Enterprise Recommended program certifies devices that meet criteria for manageability, support, productivity, security, and reliability.  The idea behind the program is to eliminate the guesswork on which devices are up to the task of being ready to handle the wear-and-tear of being an enterprise phone but also manageable from an enterprise IT perspective.

Huawei has lowered the price of the Huawei Mate 10 Pro for the next couple of weeks and now is the time to seriously consider it.  Normally the 6″ phablet is $799 now through June 30th you can pick one up on Amazon for just $549.  And this isn’t a stripped down version either.  It has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage.  The $549 price represents the lowest price by far that has been available on the Mate 10 Pro here in the US.
