Lenovo’s Mobile Business Achieved Profit in Ten Years’ Time
For the first time in ten years, Lenovo Holdings’ mobile business has achieved profit, mainly because its mobile business has withdrawn from 70 to 80 markets overseas.
“Mobile phones are our long term focus. After we begin to gain profits and our business gets on a right track, we will continue investing in innovation, channels and branding,” said Lenovo chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing.
According to Counterpoint, the sales of Motorola for Q2 2018 ranks forth in the American market, with a market share of 6 percent. In the future, Lenovo’s mobile business will focus on four major markets including China, India, North America and Latin America.
