Huawei( https://www.huawei.com/en/?ic_medium=direct&ic_source=surlent ), the

leading global technology company, has announced that Angry Birds 2, the hugely

popular game from developer, Rovio, has been integrated on to the rapidly

expanding AppGallery. This is the latest move onto the platform from a major

large international audiences.

"We are developing partnerships with some of the world's leading game

enemies, the pigs, and save the eggs.

based on the game is already available on Huawei Video(1), the company's

platform for video content. As well as playing the game, Huawei users will soon

also be able to customise their phones using Huawei Themes to display dedicated

Angry Birds 2 branding, while customers with Huawei smartwatches and bands will

be able to download Angry Birds 2 watch faces. Huawei will also support Angry

Birds 2 with a range of promotions and offers plus activity in its social
