China’s top smartphone makers are ready to challenge Apple Inc on its home turf after trouncing the iPhone maker in their own market.
Huawei Technologies Co and Xiaomi Corp are in talks with US wireless operators about selling flagship smartphones to American consumers as soon as next year, according to people familiar with the matter. The handset makers are negotiating with carriers including AT&T Inc and Verizon Communications Inc, said the people, asking not to be identified because the matter is private. Talks are still fluid and it’s possible no agreements will materialize, they said.
