Huawei mentioned few months back dat they will implement their own operating system in their huawei phones

    Whackcar, 14 Nov 2018It looks like Samsung isn't the only one looking to stir up... moreYeah, Samsung needs to stop thinking Apple of it's number one enemy. Huawei is much worse as an enemy

      It looks like Samsung isn't the only one looking to stir up the smartphone game in 2019, Huawei has bold ambitions as well. 10x optical zoom would crush the competition in the zoom segment, probably overlapping a few dozen numbers on Dxomark too.

      I like this kind of heated competition between companies, it causes major improvements on all products. Lovely!

          Dear All,

          I have been in the telecom industry for quiet a long time. Having seen Samsung rise in 2011 when they launched Andriod they have taken more than 50%-60% share in most countries. From the past 3-4 years Huawei are making inroads and dont be surprised to see them getting on to No 1 in 2019., This is besides the US market. In 2018 month on month they have been growing store on store while Samsung has been dropping. My line of profession is sales and have seen this by my own eyes in the reports which i compile based on the sell out from most retailers and independent shops.For Huawei haters, no offense but some day you will change and will probably give the brand a shot. For the so called "Chinese Haters" no offense to you as well, but the hard reality is that Huawei isn't just any Chinese company. Products are good and reliable. In all cases most of the branded phones are made in china. So no great shakes about hating Chinese

            Anonymous, 14 Nov 2018stock is full of bugs and is boring, no stock phone sells i... moreI'm owner of huawei right now... and i need to say, i would pref stock android over emui but only if google bring some features to make pixel worth the pice of mate 20 pro or note 9 ... On pixel 3 wireless charging is messy, it have some battery issues reported by few users(probably more but few are exposed)... display on 50% brightness looks too dark and if add not the best battery its a mess... Face unlock needs to be built in feature.... camera is great for point and shoot but adding few more lenses would make it better for zooming,macro,wide,night.. ir blaster and 3.5mm jack lacks too... so if google make that HARDWARE changes i'm good to go with vanilla os.

                10x optical zoom?!?!?

                We need next level stabilization technology for that stuff. I was struggling to take a photo with 2x optical zoom even with ois.

                Can’t wait to see it.

                  Love the Community, 14 Nov 2018I could buy a Kirin 990 phone next year as long as the SoC ... moreIn my opinion, the definition of a Pro model in a smartphone series is that it does everything like the non Pro model, but it does it better with some addition here and there, not by removing essentials. Sure BlueTooth audio is a newer technology as compared to the 3.5mm headphone jack and probably better because of LDAC, it doesn't mean that the 3.5mm headphone jack is trash man...

                    P30 Pro
                    - add OIS to main camera
                    - don't use Edge display (like Mate 20 Pro)

                    and I'll buy it.

Besides super telephoto is impractical because of hand shake, even my compact camera (with OIS) needs a tripod and timer if i go to 8x zoom because a slightest shake can cause blurred edges on my subjects.

                      I think the best set-ups are those that cover the basics like normal, wide angle, telephoto, and macro. Yes, a macro lens that can focus at 1cm is good and fun to use. I spent money in buying those smartphone macro lenses even if i have a dedicated camera for taking macro shots.

                        No matter what u and i say or mean, Huawei are no. 2 on the throne with most sold phones worldwide.
                        And it all looks like in some years, they are no. 1, so some people likes it.

                          I could buy a Kirin 990 phone next year as long as the SoC is a bit improved other than just 5G Connectivity like 4 fully powered A76 cores and the successor of Mali like Mali G77. Best of all, the Pro should have a headphone jack. As much I wanted to buy one of them wireless Bone Conduction headphones, lacking a headphone jack will rot my leathery ATH-M50X (my go-to outside headphones) and I already have gaming headphones for my PC too.

                          The fact Qualcomm and Hisilicon are doing tri-cluster is like they're COPYING MEDIATEK because Mediatek first made a tri-cluster SoC which is the Helio X series of chips and they were panned for less than stellar performance. I'm glad it all went full circle.

                            What makes them think EMUI is preferable than stock ui, EMUI is ugly too boxy and look messy

                              I had many Huawei phones and many ither brands to... no difference at all.

                                wow... what unnecessary features

                                  P20 Pro with Wide angle thats what I think they mean by Quad camera andif they make 10X telephoto thats when I might see telephoto being useful (still better than B&W though)
