The firm could launch the phone without a carrier . This could be at disadvantage to the Americans as users/customers in the US purchase it through a carrier. On the other hand, as the supposed Huawei AT&T deal did not push through, customers in the US can still get the Mate 10 Pro through retailers like Amazon and get it at a good buy of $799, and pre-orders will be accepted from Sunday, Feb 4.
Yu said his company's smartphone, the Mate 10 Pro will be coming to the US, with Gal Gadot being it's new CEO, and it will be coming as a unlocked device available on Amazon and Best Buy.
Chinese based telecom operator Huawei failed to strike a deal to sell it's new smartphones through the U.S. operator. It's dominance comes just as big US carriers are expected to invest about $275 billion over seven years to deploy fifth generation, or 5G, networks that can carry huge amounts of data for high-quality mobile video and self-driving cars, the Journal reported.
It's awkward timing for Huawei, which showed off the Mate 10 Pro at CES 2018.
According to the Journal, Union Wireless of Mountain View, Wyoming - with 50,000 customers in five Western States - turned to Huawei four years ago after it's previous equipment vendor fell behind schedule on a critical network upgrade. Eight months after, the Chinese court finally ruled and it's decision isn't good at all for Samsung.
Back in 2012, when Huawei was better known creating broadband equipment, the United States generated a warning that the Chinese govt may be using the firm's kit to spy on foreigners.
The letter said the Congress has "long been concerned about Chinese espionage in general, Huawei's role in particular". According to the Times, US security watchdog is also anxious about a telecoms deal between BT and Huawei.
