Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei has unveiled its flagship smartphone – the Huawei Mate 8 – at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The global launch comes after Huawei announced its smartphone shipments rose 44% in 2015, to 108 million. The company has become the first Chinese handset vendor to ship more than 100 million smartphones annually, defying a market slowdown to challenge leaders such as Samsung and Apple.

The Huawei Mate 8 will be initially available in 30 countries, with SA being one of them. The device will cost R11 000 for 3GB + 32GB and R12 000 for 4GB + 64GB. It is available in four colours – champagne gold, moonlight silver, space gray and mocha brown.
