Huawei tablets have become hot selling products in Finland and enjoyed the biggest market share in the past few weeks, the company said on Tuesday.

     In the second quarter of this year, about 30,000 Huawei tablets were sold in Finland, surpassing Samsung and Apple, a source of the company told Xinhua.

     "The brand sold pretty well in the beginning of this year, and in the last three weeks it was continuously ranked the first place," said the source.

     While Huawei's share in the Finnish tablet market reaches about 35 percent, the biggest so far, Apple has nevertheless secured the most sales value, followed by Samsung and Huawei.

     The news came days after Finnish media reported that Huawei surpassed Microsoft and became the third largest mobile producer in the world.

     Having been used to the Nokia culture, Finns have obtained a unique taste for mobile phones, which could be "both challenge and asset" for Huawei, said Kenneth Fredriksen, Huawei's Regional Vice President told Xinhua on Monday.

     The Chinese network giant has recruited about 100 people in its research and development (R&D) center in Finland, and the team has contributed a lot in designing the latest Huawei handset portfolio, said Fredriksen.

     The R&D center in Helsinki was built up in late 2012, and it has kept expanding in terms of the size of its staff, said Cao Keqian, CEO of Huawei Finland.
