        Anonymous, 15 Aug 2021Yes, officially separating the Honor sub-brand from Huawei,... moreYou would be surprised on how many bogus company already existed out there.

          Anonymous, 15 Aug 2021Yes, officially separating the Honor sub-brand from Huawei,... moreIf they can do the same or similar thing to their camera & chipset division then it's gonna be perfect. As kirin hardware is most optimized for huawei phones from the ground up. Still rocking mate 10 with kirin 970 a beast in all aspects. Most likely QC Or MTK Can't give the fluidity, battery backup and perfection in camera that kirin gives to huawei.

            AnonD-783442, 16 Aug 2021Exactly!Huawei be like: Reality is what I bend it to be

              Feddo12K, 15 Aug 2021I mean I don't see it as a minus,getting huawei'... moreNubia was also supposed to be "separate" from zte but look how z30 pro is just a rebranded zte flagship. Redmi also officially announced its "separation" (lol) from xiaomi all while still using miui. Poco was supposed to be independent from xiaomi. Nubia/zte and xiaomi/redmi have the same top officials.

              You get the point. It's all bs.

                    Anonymous, 15 Aug 2021He was asked if these phones were mate 40 series with honor... moreNot really though. Only the design is similar. If you look at the internals they are completely different. Different chip, all the rear camera Sensors are different, different screen

                      So 3 tiers of smartphones:

                      1. Flagship - Magic series
                      2. Midrange - number series
                      3. Budget - X series

                      And maybe a foldable coming quite soon. All international variants will come with GMS.

                      Things looking rosy for Honor.

                              Hmm, the '50 family'... Does that mean not only the 50 but also 50 SE will come to Europe? If so then instant buy from me. Hopefully their LCD doesn't have PWM like with Xiaomi.

                                    Which can be very bad for Honor.
