Huawei confirms Mate 10 Pro won't hit US carriers
For a good part of last year, rumors consistently pointed out towards a likely collaboration between Huawei and the US carriers (AT&T at least) over the Chinese company's Mate 10 smartphone.
However, recent reports revealed talks between the company and the carrier fell apart for unknown reasons. Effectively confirming the development, Huawei has now said that the Mate 10 Pro will not be available through any carriers in the US.
