Its just to save some money but is basically the same to just buy a QC SoC.

    Huawei has the best potential to be number 1.

    They make flagships just as good as apple and samsung.

    They make their own processors and have phones for every orice point.. they are also innovating and adding lots of hardware for a reasonable price.

    The Huawei Mate 20 will just be the icing on the cake for Huawei

      Most fun is when smartphone users defend a smartphone brand and defend who is making most money, omg im getting grey, same users get blocked for money... many more money then a smartphone ever could be worth, its a tragedy a firm/firms can makes people blind as zombies.
      I really feel for the people and their blindness :-/
      Support u family and friends, but firms cmon :-D

        Anonymous, 28 Aug 2018Just FYI Huawei got the second spot this time. How much mor... moreIf Huawei had a proper presence in the US, they would be number 1 by 2019

          The Chinese phone makers are making an all-out attack against Apple. I will bet that in kess than 3 years, Xiaomi will be no3.

          Also, Huawei and Samsung and both on a rave to make some Super Premium smartphones. If their concepts are successful, Apple will start making more lower end smartphones (it already did it with the SE and the iPhone 8 line-up).

          Also, once Huawei enter the US Makers, iPhone is gonna get hit big time.

              Mailman, 28 Aug 2018Have you even seen Apple amuall sales reports? I did say it's just a thought. But it is not impossible. Big giants have sunk, because nothing stays constant. Other's seem to predict the same too.

                        Anonymous, 28 Aug 2018The BIG boys are losing with their HIGH prices to the guys ... moreHuawei overflowing their home market and you can't compete with that. Simple.
                        It is impossible to compete with Chinese companies when we are talking about prices, in any industry.

                            Just a thought.... Will Apple wither & die a second death?!

                            Well, big companies that were once thought invincible have sunk.

                              ASP is the most important metric?

                                  Well done Huawei. Apple's product have a higher average price though ... they don't even have entry level phones.

                                    Good to see Xiaomi and Huawei rising
