Microsoft is slowly removing Windows Phone from its online and physical store, as Android is becoming the company’s priority. Huawei announced during its CES 2018 keynote that the Mate 10 Pro Android smartphone will be available in the United States and Microsoft will be also selling the Huawei’s flagship phone.

The arrival of Android phones in Microsoft’s online and physical stores is barely surprising since the company has given up on Windows Phone. As part of a partnership between Microsoft and Huawei, the company’s flagship Mate 10 Pro powered by Google’s Android operating system will land in its online stores.

In the United States, Huawei Mate 10 Pro will be available for pre-order on February 4, and the GSM variant of the flagship phone will be available from Microsoft Online, Brick and Mortar stores. Newegg, Amazon and Best Buy will also sell the flagship Android phone for $799.

Microsoft hasn’t confirmed whether or not the Huawei Mate 10 Pro will be available from its online and physical stores. The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is a powerful rival to the new iPhones and Google’s flagship devices, it features a fingerprint sensor right in the middle of the back cover.

We recently discovered that Microsoft is selling more Android phones than Windows Phones. It actually started last year when Microsoft started selling the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+. Would you want to buy the Huawei’s new Android phone from Microsoft? Let us know in the comments below.
