                      That 9000E and lack of GMS and it’s API really make this a no go. It’s reskinned Android with fewer features. The fact that you can side load apps that don’t need GMS to work proves that. Banking apps and anything that needs to be sure it’s secure will probably not function on there.

                            Anonymous, 03 Jun 2021Beautiful. -this comes from an Apple userPoor thing!

                            I purchased a Hauwei P30 Pro phone in Africa two years ago and LOVE being free of apple. I'll never go back to the iPhone or the Samsung phones, which are soooo limited in functionality, resolution and especially cameras.

                            Hauweis' (32MP front/40-64MP rear) Leica camera optics cannot be beaten.

                                Let's hope that someday Hauwei will be able to break the stranglehold that both Apple and Google have on the US market.

                                Asia, Europe and even Africa have up to 400 times the (cheap) Internet speed, plus access to the most awesome phones for pennies on the dollar.

                                  Well USA as put a ban on US companies supplying and supporting Huawei equipment
                                  So Huawei have had put their own operating system together this should mean that Google Apple and Microsoft will have to think hard on how they improve and price their products it also takes US intelligence agencies and companies out of been able to collect masses of data information on people
                                  So this should mean that we will get better prices and equipment from the the USA companies

                                    I have A Hauwei P30 Pro phone, and am overjoyed to be iPhone free for the past two years. It's the best phone I've ever seen, with awesome cameras. I'll be buying the Mate Pro tablet and finally be totally Apple free!

It will be a great successfull.This OS is more advanced than Android and IOS. I sugest it to everybody who likes new tech surprises,because for me was a tremendous positive surprise.
