Maybe in the long term as they grow more and have more profits to spend on R&D

        But in Camera Huawei still beat them.

        And in 5G, huawei have the most patent of 5G beating all US companies combined.
        On the other hand, Oppo & Vivo didn't have tech on 5G at all. They just pay the technology

          We need Sony to bring back a great device, and HTC. They made solid unit's back in the day.

              Anonymous, 05 Jan 2021Huwaei innovation plummeted long before US export controls.... moreThat's not true.
              Huawei was on course to overtake Samsung for the #1 spot before the US intervention.
              It was #1 briefly during 2020.

                      In every department on Huawei products there's absolute innovating ideas. So US powers can't stops that trends on Huawei's inventory leadership in years to come. Huawei would be there as innovator and others as you mentioned follows

                        Huawei will rebound, and beat Samsung permanently.

                          Huawei is the best in Camera, and still the best at this time.

Reverse Qi is stupid, ppl complain about battery, pointless to share. RYYB sensor is worse solution than monochrome.

                            - Asus had periscope years ago, with true zoom
                            - Camera is smaller than Nokia 808
                            - even Samsung Gran Prime (2014) had already night mode

                            Oppo has more contribuitions to mobile community.

                              I hope people don't "replace their devices", forcing the companies to come up with phones that people actually want, instead of following the "analysts".
