Huawei experienced 26% Growth in Shipments for Third Quarter of 2014 - Sapphire Screen Huawei Ascend P7 smartphone coming

Disappointed that Apple didn’t cover the recently launched Apple iPhone 6 with a Sapphire Screen?

I sure knew I was as I’d pined about it for quite awhile, even doing an article predicting a Sapphire Screen for the Apple iPhone 6 in my blog article entitled “Apple iPhone 6 Official Invite sets Tuesday September 9th 2014 - Expect a Gold Standard 128GB Sapphire Screen with iWatch and NFC Mobile Money and BitCoin Wallet”.

Then look no further than Huawei for your Sapphire screen fix with the Huawei Ascend P7 Sapphire Edition that comes with a Sapphire Screen faceplate as announced in the article “Huawei confirms sapphire display for Ascend P7”, published September 4, 2014 6:58 AM PDT by Andrew Hoyle, CNET News and “No sapphire on your new iPhone? China's Huawei has you covered”, published Wed Sep 10, 2014 2:20am EDT BY SE YOUNG LEE AND MICHAEL GOLD, Reuters.

Best of all the Huawei Ascend P7 may be coming to a LIME Store near you in Jamaica!

Huawei experiencing Global Boom – Reports 26% Growth in shipments for the Third Quarter of 2014

Shenzhen, China-based Huawei is definitely on a Boom cycle in the Third Quarter of 2014 as reported by Huawei in a Reuters Interview with Huawei Consumer Business Group Marketing Executive Shao Yang as reported in the article “Huawei says third-quarter smartphone shipments jump 26 percent, strong demand for high-end devices”, published Thu Oct 23, 2014 6:08am EDT BY YIMOU LEE, Reuters.

This was already evident from their progress in expanding their shipments and market share from the IDC Stats for the Second Quarter of 2014 as reported in my blog article entitled “IDC Stats for Second Quarter of 2014 points to Asian Smartphone Rise – How cheaper smartphones are slowly killing BOTH Apple and Samsung marketshare”.

Apple has not fared so well during this Second Quarter of 2014 and their Third Quarter is not so good either as per the article “Apple posts solid Q3 profit, but iPhone sales don't wow”, published July 22, 2014 1:42 PM PDT by Shara Tibken, CNET News, albeit the phenomenal sales of the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus haven’t been tallied as yet.

Already word on Wall Street suggests that Samsung’s Third Quarter of 2014 may see a dizzying 60% drop in Profits as reported in my blog article entitled “Samsung’s declares 60% Profit and 20% Sales decline - Tizen OS Response needed as India’s Diwali may Light a Path in November towards Future Prosperity”.

Their popular line of smartphone, the Ascend Series, is helping to boost their Global sales in the Third Quarter with some impressive figures:

1.      26% year on year increase in sales

2.      6.8 million smartphones globally

3.      25% of the number accounted for by mid-range and high-end smartphones

Overall, for the First three Quarters of 2014, the outlook is clearly good, making Huawei a stock to bet o for future growth:

1.      51 million smartphones globally

2.      68% of their 80 million target for the year 2014

Good to note that during the Fourth Quarter of 2014:

1.         50% of shipments went to China

2.         Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific recorded the strongest growth

Huawei expects 80% year-on-year growth in the Fourth Quarter of 2014, being as the Christmas period is traditional a time when many opt to give a smartphone as a gift. So a Sapphire screen smartphone look just about right; a precious stone to cap off what’s already been a successful year for Huawei.

Jamaica loves Huawei, especially the mid-range JA$4999 Huawei Ascend Y330 sales of which exploded over the Summer of 2014 for Telecom Provider LIME as chronicled in my blog article entitled “JA$4999 Huawei Ascend Y330 vs JA$7599 Digicel DL700 Game of Phones -  Tablets to drop on Emancipation and Independence Day in a Game of Phones”.
