    DMX, 19 May 2022sure you live in 2013You are lying yourself. Pixel can't stand against Samsung.

      Cyberchum, 20 May 2022Shouldn't you tell yourself this? Coming to say how it... moreI never said it's not an issue, i just said the app developers aren't suffering as much losses as you would assume.

      I also said Huawei should fix the issue. Maybe you should read properly before you call me a shill or whatever.

      Also, the reason why i show more sympathy for Huawei is due to the numerous unjustified bans they had to suffer through. If it weren't for those bans, then Huawei wouldn't have to resort to using their own app store in the first place.

        So you can listen to music with your music app while toning down any annoying autoplay videos in a browser for example? (without muting it completely via browser settings)

        You really can do that on MIUI? If so, prove it with a screenshot and i'll jump straight to a redmi/xiaomi device for audio consumption.

Coming to say how it's not an issue when an actual developer said that it's an issue. If it was a certain company that is responsible for this, your likes would be here singing doomsday hymns. 😂

                  They still get and sell your information, that's the main thing...

                    I like AppGallery but I didn't use it, they offer nice discounted IAP than play store.

                      I'm quite baffled to know that not only AppGallery has had such a bizarre and seemingly basic bug, but also Huawei never responded to it even though they had known about it for a long time.. what the hell? They'd better fix it ASAP.

                            if that dev's word is to be trusted, then man i have no idea why Huawei still has devs for their appstore. It's essentially Huawei saying "we don't care"

Just because they innovate doesn't mean they don't spy or steal from anyone. They aren't mutually exclusive. Also have you seen their Matebooks?

                                  Tanji, 20 May 2022What inovations exactly? They only steal ideas and rip off ... more-They were the first to launch a 40MP quad-bayer camera phone, it became a trend after that. (the 40MP nokia phones were not quad-bayer, and they were fat phones, not comparable to recent slim phones)
                                  -They were the first to introduce a proper night-mode (even before Google's night-sight), it became a trend after that.
                                  -They were the first to introduce reverse wireless charging on a phone, it became a trend after that.
                                  -They were the first to launch a proper triple-camera phone (right along with LG), it became a trend after that.
                                  -They were the first to launch a 5x periscope zoom camera on a phone, it became a trend after that.
                                  They've continued to innovate in the camera department, and lead in image quality.

                                  And those are all Facts. Go back in your cave.

                                      Google has it as well. You can download any apk from Play Store. Activation via store API is builtin into apps, not the store. So the news is just hoax.

Also they were first offering decent 5G Hardware globally. Nowadays every phone company copies, to the point where there is a lack of individuality. So what? In the end it's a telephone. Who copied the telephone?
