Huawei was planning on finally getting some major U.S. wireless carrier support for one of its major flagship handsets (the Mate 10 Pro), but word is that AT&T backed out of those talks just a day before Huawei was set to make its big announcement at CES 2018. The handset will be a GSM-unlocked unit. You’ll be able to use it on carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, Simple Mobile, and a few others. Verizon and Sprint customers are out of luck. The Mate 10 Pro is a flagship, top-tier handset, and that $799 price tag certainly reflects that. Of course, it’s not nearly as expensive as many of Huawei’s competitors. Still, even with a slight different in price, all of Huawei’s competitors in the United States have support from the carriers, so the company still has a bit of an uphill climb ahead of it. We will have to wait a bit longer to see a Huawei-branded smartphone sold on store shelves in U.S. carriers, it seems. Still, Huawei will more than likely continue to work towards that goal.
