Huawei recently overtook Apple in terms of phone shipments. Now the company is looking to beat Samsung and become the top smartphone maker in the world.

According to the Shenzhen firm, the total sales of Huawei and Honor have gone up from 11% in the second quarter of 2017 to 15.8% in the second quarter of 2018.
