      Only CNY100/€120 difference between the Pro+ and the Ultra? I can't even understand why the Pro+ even existed in the first place when you can get so much more with the Ultra for only a small extra amount of money. Also, it's pretty much identical to the Pro except for the over-satellite voice calling and 16GB RAM.

        Fanboys love to make excuse. Other brands would be bashed by making exactly same hardware.

          So no curved display. This is good!

            It's not using ARM, different design than the old kirin 9000

            "Android 12"

            FORKED at android 12,
            It's using Harmony OS NEXT which can't be related to android

            "Old Bluetooth 5.2 (another sign SoC is not new, othernwise would use 5.4)"

            Not because the SOC is old
            but rather because Huawei too busy to do it all by themself.
            but for you and me, 5.2 vs 5.4 what the improvement?

            "USB 3.1 when should be 3.2"

            Some other vendor still stuck with USB 2
            Some other vendor not using USB but some "unknown" cable that only work on that brand

            "Not even 1440p screen"

            So? Which iPhone have 1440?

              I had three Huawei phones. Mate2, 8, 9. Being in the USA, I had to dump the 9 because you can't get updates, plus now, no google and some apps I use for work, come from google.

                Base variant is almost 1300 euros in China.
                Imagine if they had plans to sell in Europe.

                Old Kirin 9000.
                Android 12
                Imx989 instead of updated version LYT900 (better lytography)
                Old Bluetooth 5.2 (another sign SoC is not new, othernwise would use 5.4)
                USB 3.1 when should be 3.2
                Not even 1440p screen

                  If I can get it here I will

                    Huawei uses 23mm lens, but digitally crops by default to 27mm equiv to make you think lens has high quality at corners

                      I really want to have another huawei phone, but, no play store, no buy. I don't care what anyone thinks. I don't need someone to tell me that he doesn't uses google services. OK, cool, but I need apps for work that I can only download through play store and I use google services as well.

                        No. HarmonyOS is still not very good and over here you have too many alternatives to consider these, especially since the prices will be higher for us.

                                      The 3 cardinal sins you mentioned + past reports of Huawei allowing the gov remote access into user devices is what keeps me away from them.

                                        Meh, I wont waste money on something unusable, at that price point Id rather get me an iPhone
                                        But really wasting thousands of euro for unusable phone is stupid, the right budget for a phone is something between 150-250$ more than that is already wasting since they are basically the same just adding something unnecessary for oneself satisfaction and the vendor profits
