Why can't I see Huawei and Xiaomi's mobile phones in the United States?

I wonder if netizens have found anything. As the second generation smartphone market in the world, the United States has been divided by two major companies, Apple and Samsung, and the rest of the market share is occupied by brands such as LG and Motorola. Xiaomi and Huawei, which sell well in Asia, have almost zero sales in the United States. Why is this happening? Don't China brands such as Xiaomi and Huawei want to enter the American market?

Why can't well-known mobile phone brands enter the American market because they have not yet entered the American market? Let me tell you the story of the patent first. In 20 12, HTC was officially banned in the United States for the simple reason that it infringed Apple's patents. 20/kloc-in March, 2004, Apple sued Samsung for patent infringement again, demanding compensation of $2 billion. On February 20 15, 15, Samsung finally paid Apple $548 million in compensation, and concluded that it would definitely be impossible to bypass patents and Apple if it wanted to enter the American market.

20 12 is the peak period of HTC. As an American company, of course, Apple will not watch HTC grab its own American market. How can it be destroyed? So Apple thought of using patents to restrict HTC. Anyway, HTC did infringe Apple's patent at that time, so it applied to the US court for an injunction.

With the gradual increase of Samsung's market share, Apple put the patent drama on Samsung at this time, but Samsung is not as good as HTC. This lawsuit took several years. In the end, Samsung did infringe the patent, and there was a story of $548 million in compensation.

Finally, it is not China brands such as Xiaomi and Huawei. They don't want to enter the American market, but it's risky. If you accidentally eat a lawsuit, Apple will make you unbearable, which is why Xiaomi sells everything except mobile phones in the United States. Even if an international brand like Huawei showed its Mate 10 series at CES 20 18, it began to be laid out in the United States.
