Unyielding Under Pressure, Huawei Showcases Commitment to Quality

NEW DELHI, September 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Stringent Reliability Test Benchmark the Huawei Phones in the Industry 

Huawei, the third largest manufacturer of smartphone and second largest Android smartphone manufacturer globally, have been in news recently when one of its smartphones, the Huawei P8 Lite saved a man's life by taking the hit from a bullet which was meant for the owner of the phone.

Huawei phones are known for its quality and the recent unfortunate incident has re-emphasized the fact that Huawei phones go through multiple tests before the final go ahead for the product is given. As one of the top three global smartphone makers, Huawei has not just continuously perfected their hardware and software, but also gone a long way to refine their manufacturing and quality control processes to pursue the best quality of smartphones. The world-class standards that Huawei has adopted are even higher than the mandatory standards in Europe or in the US.

Speaking on stringent quality control and processes followed before any product goes to the market, Peter Zhai, President, Huawei India Consumer Business Group said, "Huawei strives to be the quality benchmark of the industry. We believe that quality is the integrity and lifeline of Huawei. At Huawei, we employ the 'craftsmen's spirit' to measure our products and ensure zero defects. Some of our processes seem extreme but we want to ensure that there are multiple check and balances in terms of absolute quality of our products."

Recently Huawei created a wave on social media when it decided to reiterate its commitment to stringent quality control as it destroyed Honor smartphones valued at more than Rs. 20 crores, despite the fact that the defect rate was only 1.4%. Huawei decided to destroy all the smartphones involved in the accident to make sure there would not be any potential problems for consumers one year after purchase.

This is not the first time a smartphone has blocked a bullet. Huawei P7 did so to save its owner in a tropical forest in Guatemala last year and a researcher from Millward Brown used the Media Pad as a shield and it saved his life from a gunshot fire exchange in Garissa, Kenya while conducting a field work research. In Myanmar, a Huawei smartphone's excellent network signal saved lives after a plane crashed into an icy lake in the north of the country. None of the passengers could get through except for the one with a Huawei smartphone. They were ultimately, rescued after being stranded for more than three days. This incident made Huawei a household name in Myanmar.

Huawei has shipped over 100 million smartphones to more than 170 countries and regions in the last year alone. Huawei spares no efforts in order to forge top quality smartphones, and the way it is done, sometimes bordering on extremes. Huawei strictly enforces the QMS system from prototype design, R&D, raw material procurement, manufacturing to testing, and uses automated and smart manufacturing to ensure product quality.
