Huawei Ascend P8 wins important European smartphone award

Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei was on Monday announced as the winner of the prize for the "European Consumer Smartphone 2015/2016" in recognition of its Huawei P8 smartphone.

This means that Huawei has won the award, which is handed out by the European Image and Sound Association (EISA), for three consecutive years, given that it won the 2014/2015 award for the Huawei Ascend P7, while the company's Ascend P6 won the previous year's prize.

Glory Zhang, director of marketing at Huawei's consumer business sector, said the company "was proud to receive this prize for the third year in succession and thanks to this we will continue to challenge the industry and revolutionize the use of the Huawei P8, which is the most accessible smartphone for consumers."

The Huawei P7 has so far been sold over 7 million units.
