What's the advantage of making phones we can't get to use?

If that's true, I will be very sad. I would love a 7.3" 2K@120Hz OLED panel with expanded memory, headphone jack with 32-bit DAC, stereo speakers, 6,000 mAH battery, M-Pen capabilities, 40W wired charging, 27W wireless charging with 15W reverse, and IR blaster. Don't care if it doesn't have Google as I'm sure there are ways to slap the Play Store in there (some stores in China can even ship with the framework as well).

      There is a large chunk of the screen missing.
      Does Huawei know about that?

However from what we've seen from p40 and honor 30 series this year it was a series of three actual devices and lite wasn't exactly considered. Most people thought Huawei was kidding with the pro plus prior to launch and it wasn't leaked a lot like the rest of the series.

            Anonymous, 04 Aug 2020Wtf? Huawei has just taken over samsung in sales dudeThey only taken over Samsung over for a month, last May which is Q2.

              Spudly Mcgudly, 04 Aug 2020Why two punch holes? Because people always want.. more. In ... moreThere can only be two reason for that: Facial recognition or ultrawide wefie/vlogging. I definitely value the latter, so a dual front camera with a secondary ultrawide camera like in OnePlus Nord is definitely more than welcome for me.

                Great mobile but can’t use it here! What a pity

                  Well, this just shows that under-screen camera technology isn't quite ready yet for mainstream phones.

                  Who knows, maybe the oppo find X3 or the vivo nex 4 might have it(the find X and nex series are more "experimental flagship" then mainstream flagship).

                        Hm those curves on the display seems too aggressive. They might distort the display view like on the Oneplus 7 Pro. I wasn't a fan of that. If they absolutely have to make those curves then at least make them as on the S20 series. Those curves are discrete and acceptable..

                        Mate 40 Pro - curved display, huge pill cut out, no GMS..
                        Note 20 Ultra - Exynos 990..

                        Seems like I will either be buying an iPhone 12 Pro Max, the Sony Xperia 1 ii or maybe wait another year and see what they come up with..

                            Freak...other than the processor, how is this any different from the P40 Pro? Ugh...this better not be real. I can take the vanilla model taking that form but not the Pro (especially after seeing that screen protector).

                                    Samsung were smart top go with single circular cut out and pill. Everyone is doing the same as Samsung and eventually in 2-4 years time when Apple removed Face ID they be doing the same.
