This achievement and amazing results made by the nova 2 Plus phone further reinforce the popularity of Huawei brand in the region and are evidence to the brand’s strength, trust and the success that the company has built through its leading innovative devices. The nova 2 plus continues to be a favorite for young users, for the latest photography technologies, high performance levels, fast response times and long battery life.
The sales and success of the nova 2 plus device is expected to grow even higher, as Huawei is planning to introduce a limited edition pink version.

According to a recent report by IDC, Huawei remained the third-largest smartphone manufacturer in the second quarter of this year, as the company shipped out 38.5 million smartphones, managing to grab 11.3 percent of the global smartphone market. Apple, on the other hand, shipped 41 million smartphones in the second quarter of this year, grabbing 12 percent of the smartphone share in the second quarter of this year. According to IDC report, this gap is now narrowed, and Apple could become the third-placed smartphone manufacturer given Huawei’s strong momentum in the third quarter of the year.
