I've own many phones since I got my first smart phone back in 2008 with the iPhone 1. But I can safely say the only 2 phones I truly enjoyed for its time were the iPhone 4 in 2010 and Huawei mate 20 pro when I got it in 2018, which I'm still using. It's the phone I've used the longest and for a reason. I am so sold on this phone that I told myself I'm never changing to any other brands from now on. I'm still pissed with the US for the ban. Forget security issue, it's so obvious because they can't keep up with the competition and they simply used this as a convenient excuse. And I know this as Huawei were just about to move way ahead of its competition at that time just from my experience with this phone. Now I'm stuck on what to get for my new phone. Everything else seems like a downgrade. But I do need Google services. I'm so pissed and in a dilemma.

If Huawei were smart to save their smartphone division they would sell these phones at almost a loss but still ship units 1200€ for a phone with no 5G, limited by it's inability to access google apps and so on is not worth that. There are much better phones for a third the price.
@Avantime2 жыл бұрын
They don't have enough chips, even 4G. And even at a loss no one outside China is going to buy them. These "global" phones are for keeping up appearances only (e.g. by sending them to KZfaqrs for marketing exposure) because they can probably sell these same phones for 1200€ in China. Why sell at a loss in Europe etc. chasing volume, further dwindling their supplies and cheapen the brand, when no one there is going to buy them even at a loss anyway? It's clear that by keeping their bootloaders locked, Huawei doesn't want the "DIY Google" crowd, and would rather not sell any phones. Huawei's smartphone brand don't need saving (or alternatively it can't be saved), they're doing fine in China and the Goggle ban is permanent. Their strategy is to keep selling in China, not completely disappear outside China, and survive until they can get their hands on some advanced node manufacturing for their SoCs, and possibly a true open-source OS with RISC V.

Thank you for extended review! It seems huawei downclocked 888, no point in getting 800k points in antutu if you can't keep that speed for longer while keeping device cool. Superb camera performance for android device, however i don't think 1.3k euros is correct price for this phone. Considering there is no google services though i could live without them. Sad that new snapdragon cpus are even worse than previous chip. Qualcomm should focus on experience not number in antutu or else. Really wanted xiaomi 12 pro but its uncooked device. Hopefully Poco F4 pro or X4 pro will be superior phones in price/to performance departament. If not, i think iphone 14 will be unstopable this year if they bring usb C , faster charging and no notch screen.
@Techtablets2 жыл бұрын
Yes, I think they did as in other ones it would reach 800k but I prefer it like this at least it will not overheat gaming, and an hour of PUBG on the top settings it only reached 36-37 degrees C which is a huge difference from 50-52 degrees of some of the other SD888 flagships I've seen. The Xiaomi 12 Pro on the latest firmware now takes much longer to overheat as they throttle it more but it's still not good.

Hmm considering the price, it's way off my price range. I still have a P30 Pro and therefore I'm still glad Huawei is keeping up with the camera department, although I was expecting some more. But clearly I understand they are living on the edge, after the ban. The audio quality in the recordings ain't good, considering the bitrate so low (Xiaomi like). I wonder why selling a phone at 1,000€+ and give the users such a bad audio quality! (hopefully a patch is on the way). GSPACE helps with Google apps, but Gpay and Android Auto won't work. Better than nothing. Would I go for this phone? At 600€, my price range, yes. At 1,000€+ no way.

It makes me weird to see a Huawei with a Snapdragon 😞. It's like seeing an iPhone with a Mediatek processor from 3 - 4 years ago. When I think of what the Kirin 9000, which is already 2 years old, is capable of doing, I kind of imagine what it would have been like if Huawei had been able to continue its Kirin. On the other hand, I'm a little disappointed that Huawei has abandoned its 3D face unlock, and as I said 2 years ago with the P40 Pro / Mate 40 Pro, they should have centered the pill like Apple is apparently going to do on its future iPhones 14. Instead of seeing a pill bigger than the holes in the screen of Android smartphones, people would have seen a miniaturized and revolutionary Face-iD. But at least Huawei seems to have solved its photo-video colorimetry problems, but especially its video stabilization problem, that's the main reason why I stopped to use Huawei. The real big problem with this smartphone is its price, it costs more than an iPhone 13 Pro and Galaxy S21 Ultra. Huawei must accept that its status is no longer the same and review its pricing positioning otherwise it will be really complicated for them, the proof they have gone from number 1 in China (their home market where normally the absence of GMS should not be a problem) to not even in the top 5.
