I'm curious about the current state of play of Huawei and their Android devices. From my limited understanding, the HarmonyOS is not meant to be major OS but to be a conduit to connect IoT devices using available platforms (Windows, Android, maybe even Linux etc) so for their smartphones and tablets, they're still using Android 10 as a base even in EMUI 12 (global edition) and HarmonyOS 2.0 (CN edition). Are they currently developing a new smartphone or tablet OS using AOSP (Android Open Source Project)?
What will happen when the Android 10 is no longer supported? Is it a sink or swim situation? And would that make us customers, a gamble to buy any Huawei smartphones in 2022 given the end of life date for Android 10 is likely to be Sep 2022 (this year) or the latest Oct 2023 (in line with Pixel 4a end of life date). Android 9 end of life was Sep 2021.
Google last Android 10 devices were Pixel 4 (released in 2019, will be supported until Oct 2022) or Pixel 4a (released in 2020, will be supported until Oct 2023). Pixel 5 was already on Android 11.

Anonymous, 05 May 2022I've got a Huawei p40 pro, performance mode only gives... moreOnly difference I've noticed is when playing intense games. Periodically, the phone takes breaks in between with fps dropping down to 35 fps. Using performance mode more or less eliminates that issue. And yeah. It's clearly the phone trying to limit power consumption because the phone never got hot outside performance mode.

Lashtheslash, 22 Apr 2022Hiya. I have the p20 Pro mate and looking at another Hauwei... moreDon't bother, I've had to stop using my P40 pro as a daily driver because of the Google problem. It's not even just Google apps, because a lot of apps run through Google play or Google protocols you get half the apps even on apkpure and aptoide that won't work (still needs gms authentication basically). You're going to have to rely heavily on petal search/Web browser for pretty much everything (I have to use brave browser for YouTube, my bank, pretty much all takeaway and taxi ordering). Great devices just the lack of Google is now a huge problem (considering the monopoly of apple and Google being essentially the only os of choice)

Kev, 23 Apr 2022Kirin chips in this case are much better. In case you'... moreI've got a Huawei p40 pro, performance mode only gives you better benchmark results, doesn't really do anything in the real world so thats wrong. Day to day performance you won't see a difference between a kirin 990/9000, snapdragon 855 - 8 gen 1 and any apple/Samsung or mediatek chip in the premium market (unless you absolutely pushing your device and the chip to its limits all the time and even then you'll get stupid levels of throttling from current top end chips like exynos 2100, 8 gen 1 and a14/15 in apple devices)

PotatoMan, 16 Apr 2022Snapdragon 888 is know for its heating problem...I dont kno... moreKirin chips in this case are much better. In case you're curious, the SD888 wins in short burst performance, but the Kirin 9000 wins in terms of sustained performance. However, THIS IS WITH THE PERFORMANCE MODE ENABLED. Without it, all Huawei phones with Kirin chips generally have quite mediocre performance in intense gaming due to power efficiency being the main priority. But, flip the performance toggle on, and the chips will perform at their fullest.
For example, in normal mode, my P30 Pro's Kirin 980 scores 140k sustained score in the throttling app; after 40 minutes, it'll take 1-minute breaks at 75% to cool down, but otherwise, it's pretty much always at 100% power. As for 3Dmark Slingshot Extreme, it scored a sustained 2,300 points.
However, in performance mode, the picture changes drastically. The sustained score gets ramped up from 140k to 190k sustained. Do be aware that the one-minute breaks are now at 50% instead of 75%. And in 3Dmark OpenCL, the sustained score gets bumped up to 4,800 points.
The Kirin 9000 will behave like this as well; Mediocre but hyper-efficient performance in normal mode, but with a dramatically improved performance mode that will not come at the cost of severe throttling. The SD888 throws that book completely aside; It follows Huawei's throttling protocol but offers substantially higher peak performance with severe throttling.
Simply put, the SD888 lacks the refinement and flexibility of the Kirin 9000.

Until I realized that an hour of gaming with greasy fingers had covered the selfie camera with grease.
There's absolutely no reason for a camera to be blurry beyond focusing issues. If you're curious, GSMArena's review unit probably had a deformed lens. How much? Given how many photos were fine, probably less than 0.1 millimeters.

So your saying I can still use all my google products still if I download apkpure? Will it also continue to back up photos to Google photos & I can use drive, Gmail and Google pay?
Thanks in advance 😊

PotatoMan, 16 Apr 2022Snapdragon 888 is know for its heating problem...I dont kno... moreI have a mate 20 pro with kirin 980 and it works perfectly without heating or performance issues since three years. Kirin chips are very efficient and it is a pity that huawei is not allowed to produce its own kirin chips anymore because of the us sanctions.
