Here's why we didn't see a new Kirin flagship SoC at this year's IFA

05 September 2020
All of the reasons have to do with the USA's sanctions upon Huawei.

Lukhanyo, 06 Sep 2020I thought we were not supposed to have trolls in this siteThen what are you doing here?

    Overall I would still suggest you get ROG it will give great design, superb gaming, decent cameras and long battery life so overall ROG is a pretty great all round flagahip too if you don't mind taking out such a design out in public cause not everyone likes such Gaming asthetics

And that is why huawei got banned. Because nsa will own the only right to spy on us all. China got caught on doing the same thing, and therefore Trump banned them. Nsa couldn't stand competition.

      You can deny it all you want, but it won't change reality.

I think you have a false claim. This is not about some 3rd grade fight on the playground lol. 5 years ago or maybe 8 Huawei proposed their own OS/Services and stated they would use them if it came to it...meaning if Google was not able to support their OS on their devices? Look that up and try to see why you think they were planning that way back then? It is common knowledge most of it. Suddenly we all want to live as if only the past 3 years we have been alive. Huawei is not just in this for phone sales....this type of stuff (political agendas) has been around for centuries, so I would not complain much about this unless you have a reason to, which most of us do not....

                                Wouldn't want the pro because of the lack of jack but at least the ROG has a 2nd port.
