First step to kill your company: sell lower quality products for the same amount or even more expensive than your rivals with better quality products (Samsung).
Second step: remove 50% of your product and subsequently its value, keep the same price or charge even more.
Morons.

Guess I won't be going back to Huawei. Not that I was going to considering they don't allow bootloader unlock.

IpsDisplay, 30 Jan 2020There are some problems with this logic and comparison with... moreDevs did not want to make versions of their apps for a 3rd OS.
Google did not want their apps for Windows.
Blackberry OS, Windows Mobile, Sailfish, Ubuntu phone etc ...
None of them could make any success.

Aadrian, 30 Jan 2020Well, Microsoft tried it and it didn't work. Sony said, app... moreThere are some problems with this logic and comparison with Microsoft:
1st) what did Microsoft try?? Running a new OS with no political pressure from the entire United States of America? Banning so many different parts etc was Microsoft a top 2 global smartphone player??
2nd)
app developers will develop for 40 million different major OS if the pay off is there they want money more than anything
3rd) the implications of "might be successful in China alone but probably not in the rest of the world"
China only is 1.5 billion strong with other companies like Xiaomi bbk etc
This is nothing like Samsung or Microsoft nothing like it not even close

Well, Microsoft tried it and it didn't work. Sony said, app developers don't want to develop for more than 2 major app stores. And those are the Play Store from Google and the App store from iOS. They might be successful in China, but probably not in the rest of the world.

They will probably are going to start shipping their China ROM to all worldwide devices then. And you all know what that means.

Bold move by Huawei but if anyone can try and do it, it's definitely them. With that much cash and support from local market they can afford a risk like this.

Prototype, 30 Jan 2020Hope Samsung learn about this and restore the tizen softwar... moreHuawei is still using Android (AOSP), it's just not using GMS, so there are still only basically two mobile OS. Android and iOS.

Mhhhm, interesting choice by Huawei. Although I do wonder if this is a "Hardline" approach they are taking that doesn't actually mean much. But if they are serious, then this will be a very interesting development for the mobile OS business for sure.
