Mobage Social Gaming Comes to Huawei Smartphones in China

mobage-china

Having launched Daum Mobage in Korea earlier this week, DeNA (TYO:2432) just announced that it will be bringing its social gaming platform to Huawei smartphones in China now too.

This means that the Chinese version of Mobage will now be listed in Huawei’s (SHE:002502) ‘HiSpace’ app store. There are also plans for a link to HiSpace’s list of Mobage games on Huawei smartphone homescreens. You can check out some of the screenshots below.

Readers may recall that this is not the first partnership that DeNA has made to push Mobage further in China. The Japanese social gaming giant has also partnered with Baidu and Alibaba Cloud Computing to bring Mobage to their respective mobile operating systems, and it struck a deal with social network Kaixin001 back in December.

According to the announcement, Huawei had shipped about seven million smartphones in China last year. The company is moving up quickly among the world’s top smartphone makers, along with domestic rival ZTE. It’s now gearing up for MWC 2012, where it is expected to unveil its MediaPad 10, which chairman Richard Yu says is the “most power tablet that ever existed.”
