Huawei may be in a tight spot internationally, but back home in China, it’s still undisputed king in rth. So much so that Samsung wants to use its popularity in order to promote its own products. In one such bizarre promotional spree, Samsung’s ISOCELL division is giving away a free Huawei phone in China to promote its latest 32MP GD1 im sensor.
For those unaware, Samsung makes phones, and it also makes phone parts including im sensors we see in many third-party phones – that's a major source of revenue for South Korean major especially in markets like China where its phones (w) hold just one per cent market share. And China being world’s largest phone market, just can’t be avoided.

Huawei’s va 4e has a 32MP front camera that uses Samsung’s GD1 im sensor. One big highlight of GD1 sensor is fact that it can allow phone’s ISP to computationally convert default 8MP array into a 32MP im – so you could, for instance, shoot high-resolution 32MP selfies in good light, and sharper, more detailed 8MP selfies in tricky and low light.
Samsung is giving away a free Huawei va 4e in China to promote its 32MP GD1 sensor. And it would be hoping it would also help boost sales of its own phones that pack same sensor. Earlier in year, Samsung h anunced that its Galaxy S10 line up has done well in China – better than last Galaxy S phones. Having said that, Samsung’s market share in China is still thing to write home about. Here, Huawei and its subsidiary Hor rule roost, which is possibly why Samsung maybe taking this route to woo Chinese consumers.
