Three months after Samsung introduced its Galaxy S 4 smartphone with a Broadway-style show in New York, the Chinese company is trying to build up buzz for a coming smartphone with an event in London on Tuesday.

The company's smartphone business is contending with an uphill battle. Huawei isn't well-known among consumers, even though it was the world's fourth-largest smartphone vendor by shipments in the first quarter, according to research firm IDC.

Last year, about half of the company's smartphones shipped globally were priced between $100 and $150, according to research firm Canalys.
