Since your comment is based on nothing but speculation, I highly suspect this conversation will hold any value to it.

      Or perhaps will optics be with zero distortion(or close to).
      If distortion is corrected in optics it produces better quality details to the edges, so I hope it's that one.

        [deleted post]"I have carried the prejudices about China in my years working with them," he said.

        "That they're very good at copying things, that they're very good at organising things, that they throw large numbers of people at it. But they're not going to do anything new. They're very, very good at stealing, if you will, our stuff. Those prejudices need to be thrown out.

        "The Chinese are just as good, and maybe better, in key areas of research and innovation as the West.

        "They're putting more money into it. They are putting it in a different way, it is state-directed in a way that is different from the West. We need to get our act together to compete."

        Eric Schmidt - Ex CEO of Google, who now works in Pentagon, giving feedback about Huawei.

        Even to him, admit about Huawei's technological power. Who are you again? You are welcome to reply, but dont expect me to reply back.

              Even phones from last year or 2 years ago or 3 years ago still count in total volume shipped by no3 company... By your logic, it still not the best phones they offered..


              Bhahaha!

                Sony phone's displays are 4K with less budget
                Huawei still can't reach full 3K
                Xioami beats them in photos now with less budget
                HarmonyOS never took off
                Huawei still has the worst quality 4K recording
                Huawei still clones everything from Apple and others
                Mate 30 series launch was a disaster with a $19B purse
                No new Huawei innovative products that doesn't copy's other designs.
                Sure, they have phone camera's going for them but is that's all what consumers looks for from any so-called tech company?
                Do consumers around the world even know Huawei's identity?

                    When huawei got caught, there was no "illustrated purposes only" statement below the photo. But someone holding Nikon camera like holding phone for selfie photo. Advertisement of Nova .... Samsung Brazil was caught doing it too last year.

                    That is the difference.

I can just clearly sees which ad their using DSLR/mirrorless camera with naked eye. Also, the 'image for illustration purposes' watermark are usually a legal way of cheating. Do I care? No. I still bought tons of Xperia back then. They tone down the advertising down on the newer phones now, since finally they came out with more competitive camera sensor size.

                        About the liquid lens, lets say the liquid lens tech are really there on Huawei, what would u say then? I will waiting for you this Thursday.

                                  If not even the biggest lens makers are making liquid lens, a tiny company will not be able to offer.

                                  Cellphone lenses have nothing to do with AF.
                                  They just let light pass through.
                                  They do not have all thosemoptical properties like teal lenses.
                                  That is why you open cellphone cam module, all elements have same size and shape.
