Huawei Steals the Throne: Top-Notch Mobile Ranks Eclipse Samsung

Huawei Takes the Lead: 2024 Global Top 100 R&D Investment Ranking

After a revitalized performance following the US-imposed sanctions, Huawei has secured a spot in the top ten 2024 Global Top 100 R&D Investment ranking. This impressive feat is a testament to the company’s commitment to driving innovation and staying ahead of the curve.

The Importance of Research and Development

Research and Development (R&D) plays a vital role in advancing technology, enabling companies to create new products, improve existing ones, and develop new technologies. By investing in R&D, businesses can drive innovation, solve technical challenges, and stay competitive in the market.

2024 Global Top 100 R&D Investment Ranking

In the latest ranking, Huawei has secured the sixth spot, while Samsung trails behind at the seventh spot. This ranking is based on the latest audited financial records, which track the world’s top 2,000 R&D investors. These companies contribute to more than three-quarters of global business sector R&D.

Key Takeaways

• The top 10 companies saw a 7.5% increase in R&D spending, while the top 50 grew by 6.5%.
• The number of US and EU companies in the top 50 decreased by one each, while China and other regions gained one each.
• The top 2,000 companies saw a 7.8% growth in R&D spending, lower than the previous year’s growth rates.

What’s Next for Huawei?

Personally, I’m eagerly awaiting the rumored Huawei Pocket 3, which is expected to arrive in Q1 2025. With its predecessor, the Pocket 2, being a foldable powerhouse, I’m curious to see the Research & Development that has gone into preparing the Pocket 3.

The Future of Foldables

The successor to the Pocket 2 is set to arrive before Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Xiaomi’s Mix Flip 2. According to leaks, the Pocket 3 will be thinner, smaller, and lighter than its predecessor, available in at least two versions, with details on their differences remaining unknown.

Additional Launches

Huawei is also rumored to be launching a new tablet alongside the Pocket 3, with more details expected to emerge closer to the release date. With these exciting developments on the horizon, it’s clear that Huawei is committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and staying ahead of the competition.
