Huawei Technologies Co., China’s largest networking-equipment manufacturer, plans to double smartphone sales in Nigeria this year as it seeks to boost its global market share, company officials said.
Huawei, which released its Ascend P6 smartphone, said to be the “world’s slimmest phone” in Lagos, the commercial capital of Africa’s biggest phone market, on Sept. 6, forecasts it will sell 200,000 smartphones in the country by year-end, Tony Liang, managing director of the company’s consumer business group for West Africa, said in a Sept. 10 interview in the city. That’s twice the number it sold last year.
