I'm still using my 4y old Honor Note 8. Best phone I've ever had. Had Samsung/LG/Nokia/Xiaomi before.

    Great now the average consumer can easily obtain a Huawei smartphone without having not install the GMS, sadly there will be no more Kirin for phone probably how ever the PC market will get ARM chips from HiSilicon! :)

      A cheaper brand that came out of from a cheap brand wants to be the top of cheap in china, well, we lived to see this too. Like there is a difference between any of it, besides 10 euros price difference....

        Prash, 10 Dec 2020Yes.. It's possible. Honor is the only mobile which is serving me since last 3 years without a single hangover issue. No Mobile and brand could do this long service with higher prices.

        The total expenses done is a replacement of battery which is again compensated by a pair of high quality headphone gift by the dealer.

            Huawei is pretty much dead for the western markets.

                I hope they become bigger than Huawei. They need to have access to components to make competitve phones.

                      Honor is just mobile.

                      Seriously you believe the 5% profit? With mi note 10 for 580 euros in europe or mi 10 pro for 1000 euros?

                      BoM of mi 10 pro was $440. Final cost maybe no more than $550.
                      Phone was over $700 in China.

                      5% profit and their mobile division would have been shut down years ago. You do not even get any close to recover money used to make devices.
