China now rules tech/IT and AI,, so suck it up and get over it !!!

At the expense of quality control they rush everything out that they see other brands announce. The broken way android works, with manufacturer initiated security patches and updates, the user's experience takes a backseat just because Huawei is aa afraid of not having a phone with a similar feature as newly-announced-device-X.

            Well, copy-paste is always faster then innovation.

Most of those were "new" models with rushed changes to copy other brand releases, just like those two other brands you mention.

Spam is when we keep on hearing about a new device with marginal differences with last week's one. Companies like Vivo and Oppo are more likely to go under the definition of spam

Also, they don't really spam devices. Vivo and Oppo on the other hand.....

                        They're literally the spam mail of mobile. You even get the spyware with them.

                          Walter C. Dornez, 26 Jan 2019Fair point. To be fair though, some things don't seem so ru... moreA reverse wireless charging that charges so slow that realistically speaking can only be used for accessories* even when they showed and bragged about charging an iPhone with it! That does not seems rushed?

                          *that were not available until a month or two later (their headphones).

                            dude111, 25 Jan 2019When you introduce something that nobody is working around ... moreFair point. To be fair though, some things don't seem so rushed from Huawei, like the triple cameras and the reverse wireless charging

                              Walter C. Dornez, 25 Jan 2019Being the first does help set yourself as an innovator. How... moreWhen you introduce something that nobody is working around nor having plans, nor even mentioned, then yes, you are innovating, specially if nobody came out with something similar in a long time.

                              When you just "try" to be the first among various OEM with the exact same concept, then you are just bragging. How do we even know if that was their idea on the first place and not something rushed because they saw or heard someone else?

                                You know Samsung had been working on this since a few years back, why would them be the copycats here?
                                Because they dont launch it first in limited quantities just to brag about?

                                I mean, do you even know how Huawei operates right?
                                They launched a "force touch" phone just to beat apple' 6S, they "tried" to steal Samsung thunder with that "hole" display crap, they even start saying that they've been working on a foldable phone just after Samsung told us about theirs. They keep saying they are the first at something when clearly they dont (NPU, 7nm, dual camera, hole display, etc.)
