Xiaomi Corp smartphones are displayed at one of the company’s stores in Beijing on Nov. 14 last year.

Huawei aims to offer its Harmony operating system to more phones this year as an alternative to the Android system, ensuring greater flexibility in retail prices, TrendForce said. As a result, Huawei is likely to suffer the least from the unfavorable environment among Chinese smartphone brands and could even buck the broader downtrend, it said.
