Huawei confirms it will not sell the Mate 20 series in the United States

Huawei certainly sells a lot of smartphones globally, but the company's presence in the United States is quite limited over national security concerns. The latest announcement coming from the Chinese handset maker doesn't help either, so fans in the US will probably have to refer to other retail channels if they want to buy any of Huawei's top-tier phones.

For example, the Mate 20 series will not be officially available for purchase in the United States. Huawei recently told Business Insider that it does not plan to sell any of the Mate 20 series phones in the US.

However, customers who absolutely must own a Mate 20 series phone, will probably find international variants of them at various US online retailers. Although Huawei doesn't have anything against these practices, it does encourage consumers to “carefully read the details about the warranty and network compatibility” before buying them.

On the bright side, Huawei said its new Watch GT smartwatch will soon be launched in the US for a price that will be announced closer to release.
