        Would say android tablets are pricy too, the same camera lens. Only new ones can save this pricy corona year.

          From the source article: “ While shipments for most of the OEMs declined in Q2 2020, shipments for Apple increased 3% YoY and iPhone revenues increased 2% YoY.” LOL,more proof that when people buy premium they only trust Apple, how is it that Samsung has launched their most expensive phones this year and yet they have dropped to 3rd in the revenues? Nobody wants their crappy stuff :’D

Why w... moreI dont look at OS as such since it means no big difference except few conveniences and little better experiences. Huawei was contesting against not only against Apple and Samsung, but also Qualcomm, Network companies and many more. Right now the options are pretty limited at the flaghship level devices. Qualcomm milking the situation due to its own fear that it can't compete against Huawei with its high quality Kirin ones. Samsung is dishing out Exynos for the rest of the world. Apple can tell anything with its Benchmarked SoC.

                    Biggest beneficiaries of Huawei Ban were the US cartels Qualcomm and Apple. They are going to drag the industry to the bottom with their armtwisting tactics on various counts. Biggest losers will be global consumers until there is viable alternative arise outside of US. This is not good for the global customers.

                      Haha these simpletons, china has the most yoy increase because that's their $hiTTy strategy.

                      Bankrupt the competition with cheaply produced crap sell it a low price so brain dead idiots would buy them and know about the brand then start hiking prices up. hehe their cards are all uncovered.

                              Removing the front camera and saving the useless cost it add, and rather using one of the many possible cheaper alternative to allow main camera + display would help lowering this 10%, just say'in.

                                Huawei phone extremely good , better than iphone that overprice like devil mafia.
