Huawei, a China-based wireless infrastructure and handset maker, will pre-install Opera Software’s mobile browser on a range of mobile handsets. Opera said in a release that Huawei will use the Opera Mobile 10 browser, which is developed for OEMs and operators. Jiang Huabing, Head of Huawei’s handset and R&D department, said: “China represents unique growth opportunities in the mobile market, and we hope that with the addition of Opera Mobile to our handsets, more of China will soon be online.”
