AT&T won't sell the Huawei Mate 10 in the US over political concerns
Chinese device manufacturer Huawei was widely expected to announce its first distribution partnership for a flagship smartphone in the US with carrier AT&T at CES this week. However, the carrier pulled out of the agreement at the last minute for reasons that are not entirely clear, though there is some interesting speculation.
According to a report by the New York Times, it appears Huawei's strong ties with the Chinese government and a fear of espionage have played an important role in the decision. This means that Huawei yet again won't have an opportunity to compete eye-to-eye with its main rivals Apple and Samsung in the US, as its flagship device Mate 10 Pro will only be available to buy online, through retailers such as Amazon or Best Buy.
If you live in the US and are not so concerned about Chinese espionage, the Mate 10 Pro is definitely worth a closer look. With a 6-inch 18:9 OLED screen, Kirin 970 processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and its Leica-branded 12MP dual camera setup, it's firmly placed in the high-end bracket of the market. That's a lot smartphone for the $800 retail price.
Oh, and its camera is also one of the best among the current crop of flagship phones.
