China-based Huawei has claimed that the company did not make any money on the Windows Phone, following which, it is now focused on creating Android mobiles.

According to The Verge, in an interview, Huawei's head of international media affairs, Joe Kelly, said that the company didn't make money from its two handsets running Windows Phone, and that "nobody made any money in Windows Phone."

Huawei produced two models running Microsoft's smartphone OS before it said it was putting its plans for future Windows Phones on hold, the Seattle Times reported.

A few months back, Microsoft made Windows Phone free for device manufacturers.
