Analysts, however, are rather skeptical about its chances to lure people away from either Samsung or Apple, and are in fact predicting that it will be "almost prohibitively difficult" for the company to make US customers pick Huawei's high-end phones with a carrier plan if it doesn't plan to compete on price, as CEO Richard Yu suggested. "If you come down a few hundred dollars then it [the market] looks completely different. There’s a huge customer segment that can afford $10 or $20 per month rather than $30 or $40 per month," according to analyst Roger Entner.
We'll have to wait and see how will the Mate 10 and 10 Pro be priced on AT&T, and, perhaps, Verizon as well, but the phones are perfectly capable of holding well on their own. The 10 Pro offers the best battery life in its class, a very capable dual camera that is only a notch below the iPhone X or Note 8 snappers, and has a 80%+ screen-to-body ratio on a premium glass design. In other words, it ticks all the desirable boxes, so we wouldn't discount Huawei as a worthy competitor of Apple and Samsung in the US just yet.
