China’s top smartphone maker is thinking about launching its phones in the U.S., the head of its international business said Wednesday.

“On the radar,” Hugo Barra told the IDG News Service, when asked about plans to launch its new flagship Mi 5 phone in the U.S. But Barra wouldn’t confirm whether that would be in 2016. “Not sure, it would be hard to say.”
