Chinese manufacturer Huawei will continue its efforts in making smartphones that run on the Windows Phone system, even amid concerns following Microsoft’s $7.2 billion deal to purchase Nokia’s devices business.
Richard Ren, a Huawei executive in charge of the consumer unit in Europe, told the Wall Street Journal that the company remains Microsoft’s strategic partner: ”We will continue to develop devices running Windows Phone, and launch more products.”
Many pundits feel that prospective hardware partners will no longer license Windows Phone following the Microsoft-Nokia deal. Huawei’s latest comments come as a boost of confidence that Microsoft’s ecosystem of hardware partners will continue to exist.
Most of Huawei’s smartphones run on Android, but earlier this year it launched a Windows Phone device — the Huawei Ascend W1.
