Oppaii, 13 Dec 2019Samsung won't sit still with these, they won't let Huawei s... moreThey will make new Samsung Galaxy, called Galaxy A51, they will use plastic again, oil paint color on olastic, again, Exynos processor from last year again, and they will sell it for 300+ euros. Why? Because they can! Oh, and Samsung will use low end MTK processors in A series from 2020 (like A11, A21e and similar). First Samsung with MTK (P22) was Galaxy A10s, and that thing i slower than, any of those Chinese OEM phones with same or lower price, even Galaxy A10 is fastr than A10s, and only because of no optimisatipn on MTK by Samsung electronics. It seems 2020 year will be only good for Samsung S and Note series..

Etc, and i think, thats a reason why Huawei (Honor) sales that much phones per year, in the last 2-3 years.. And abou quality they have good IPS screens, not so good UI, but you can use to it, cameras are ok, battery life ok, design ok, they first start with gradient paint, now, even Samsing use same think (but on plastic, not glass, from A series).. So, botton line, Huawei does not need US, pr EU market to become No1 in sales for year or two, on the other hand.

All the reviewers always note that Samsung includes the best quality display, memory, camera, build material, and chips.

            Huawei on the other hand mostly uses lower binned components.

                  top phone maker =/= maker of top phones
                  both suck in terms of build quality and overall experience

                    Also, plenty people in US companies are from US military, which commits atrocities globally on daily basis: https://www.businessinsider.com/15-fortune-500-ceos-who-got-their-start-in-the-military-2015-8?r=US

                      Huawei are still selling older devices in the Western markets.
                      They just need to pump out those old devices at lower prices & will be sold like hot cakes.
                      Mate 20 & P 30 series are still good phones for every day uses.

                          If they produce a Mate 40X I'll gladly purchase it over any Samsung. My M20X is easily a 2 to 3 year phone.

                            well there are many reasons why chinese companies are catching up with samsung..
                            1. S series is samsungs premium lineup.. but lately their flagships are becoming ridiculously expensive
                            2. low and mid range samsung phones provide crappy user experience(poor cameras, outdated soc and shitty ui) when most of the chinese companies give equal effort in their budget segment
                            3. samsung uses exynos instead of snapdragon in many markets, this leads to poor performance of the phones

                                  What if this is the only reason Samsung didn't stick with the 1/2.55 inch 12mp sensor?

                                        1/3 of the top premium smartphones samsung sells are sold in united states, where huawei is banned from a lot of years

                                        but then, samsung does not make as good as huawei's devices therefore no need for samsung ban in usa :)

                                        makes sense
