Anonymous, 13 Dec 2020How can Mate 40 pro without Google Play services and terrib... moreNot having GMS isn't Huawei's fault. Secondly it's the Huawei company's ultimate flagship phone of 2020.
Oppo, OnePlus or Vivo r the same brands with same specs phones just different numbers so it doesn't matter really. Oneplus 8pro is the another find x2 Pro.
N Huawei has the largest ever sensor on smartphone despite being 50mp it's larger than hm2 108mp sensor. Doesn't have af issues. Nor other issues like slow charging or no charger, bad processor in particular regions, has different design approach from the whole lot, dedicated stereo speakers, only android phone of 2020 with 5nm chip. So Huawei deserves to be there. Btw I have voted for Sammy.

    What you mean is YET, not ever.
    Any of today's useless phone cameras will be beaten easily by the first phone to use a lens twice the diameter of the stupid little things we are palmed off with at the moment.
    Little lens = little light=lots of processing needed.
    Bigger lens = more light=less processing needed.
    My 25 year old baby pocket Lieca can take a far better pic than any of today's pho e cameras, with almost zero processing needs, just because it captures much more light.
    Now ask device makers the question of why, if cameras are now the selling feature of many phones, why are they not simply using bigger camera lenses that then don't eat battery with lots of post processing ?

      The LG V60 is a BOSS! It's easily the most underrated phone to be released this year. I have the unlocked version and I don't regret it at all. Hundreds of dollars cheaper for premium performance. I don't care if it ever receives updates. It's amazing just like it is. If you purchase one you won't regret it. The only drawback is that it's heavy.

        vessk0, 13 Dec 2020Oppo Find X2 Pro is the real flagship of 2020 ...No Qi, no sd slot, poor software support, bad photos, bad videos, useless curved screen, uses more power per minute than other flagships and work at higher temperature than other phones with similar price.

                  It gives 1hr less screen on time in general compared to Snapdragon variant.
                  Far from a battery nightmare. If you want to see battery nightmare, look no further than the iPhone 12 series except for the pro Max variant.

Not having GMS and not being available in many countries doesn't make it a bad device. Put your hands on one and then say something about it. It's like saying that PS5 is something bad because it's not available.

                                        Some polls here are showing pretty sad results tbh, but yea, brand loyality. :D

                                        Overall better than expected though. Even though some results are definitely biased, because even though I like some of the phones on these polls, I didn't vote for them because they were outclassed by others.

                                        Didn't seem to be a priority for others as it seems like.
