In October, Internet giant Google introduced new smartphones Pixel and Pixel XL , developed in partnership with the Taiwanese of HTC. Even before they enter the sources said that at least one of the new Google smartphones will release reference Huawei. The Chinese company executives confirmed that Huawei is considering options for cooperation with Google.
According to PhoneArena referring to the vice-president of Huawei Consumer Business Group Colin Giles (, Huawei company really was in talks on cooperation with Google and could become a developer of smartphones and Pixel and Pixel XL instead of HTC. But in the end the company refused, because it is unacceptable to produce smartphones, which then will move quite a different brand without mention of Huawei. Now Huawei is actively developing new markets and the company does not see the point in spending time and money on a product that will be released under the name of another company. Currently, Huawei is the third largest smartphone manufacturer in the world after Samsung and Apple's, and by 2018, Huawei expects to take second place in the global market, surpassing Apple.
By the way, Huawei already has experience of cooperation with Google. In 2015, they released a smartphone Huawei Nexus 6P. It is possible that next year the company will resume cooperation if Google goes forward and will allow Huawei to release a new smartphone Pixel mentioning Huawei brand.
