Huawei, the Chinese giant which is the world’s leading telecom equipment manufacturer, is also one of the leading smartphone brands. It is dominating the Chinese smartphone market while globally, it is the second largest smartphone company, just behind South Korean giant Samsung.
While the company has seen good growth in the smartphone side of its business, it was aiming for the top position and dethroning Samsung, but is now seems like a distant dream given that the brand has been put on the Entity List by the United States, effectively banning the company.
However, there’s another segment where the company is witnessing a tremendous growth — Wearables. Huawei’s Richard Yu has recently revealed that the company’s wearable products continues to maintain growth of 100 percent for two consecutive years.
He claimed that the company’s growth in this product category for the year 2019 is more than 170 percent, which is believes is the result of customers around the world liking the experience Huawei’s wearable devices provide.

Also, it must be noted that the wearable devices are also getting diversified and are not limited to smartwatches and fitness trackers. Currently, the true-wireless earbuds are getting a lot of traction in the market and Huawei recently launched its latest TWS earbuds, dubbed as Huawei FreeBuds 3.
Huawei has also development and launched its own chipset for wearable devices — Huawei HiSilicon Kirin A1, which the company is using in several of its products. The FreeBuds 3 are also powered by this same chipset and so is the Huawei Watch GT2.
The Chinese giant has also started investing more in the wearables given that they are an essential part of the larger smart living strategy. The company has also planned to use the Kirin A1 chipset in several different type of products, including variant of earphones, smart glasses, smartwatches, among others.
