Considering how they have handled the whole Global launch of Harmony OS, I really don't see a bright future for Huawei beyond China anymore.
Something tells me they will shift their focus to Asia only launches.

        The Huawei and Leica collab was the only one that actually improved camera quality and wasnt just marketing.

        It made Huawei rise to the top of the camera game alongside apple and samsung

            Michy, 24 May 2022New Huawei phones: No GMS, No 5G Network, No Leica opctics ...It's never been Leica optics. Leica was there only for marketing purposes. Same as Hasselblad on OnePlus. It's just a sticker to sell for higher price.

                Zoltan, 24 May 2022Question. Is Honor still Huawei made? I know they've b... moreHardware-wise, Honor and Huawei phones seemed to be designed by the same team. MagicUI is still based on EMUI aesthetically, but MagicUI is actually lacking the optimizations of EMUI as you can read from the reviews of the newer Honor phones.

                Another negative is Honor only giving software support of 2 years Android update, which is bad for such an expensive phone like the Magic 4 Pro.

                  Huawei sold its sub-brand honor after d ban..
                  So honor Is independent
                  And it has Google services

                          Question. Is Honor still Huawei made? I know they've been sold and become independent. I wanna buy the new Honor Magic 4 pro, purely because I am pretty sure Honor is Huawei, and vica versa. They look so identical.

                                      Dang, Thats so sad. I'm still not sure how this partnership works in developing the camera but Huawei flagships always comes with Leica brand. It's seems that Huawei is slowing down its business. Hope it's only temporary. Really hope they can still provide flagship smartphone that can par with other flagships. They're still making great phones but the lack of components in their devices doesn't go well with the price they charge us.

                                        FYI, Sharp already announced Aquos R7 a few week ago which also come with Leica certified lens like Aquos R6 last year.. we'll see whether Leica will announce Leitz phone successor or not..

                                        My guess, Leica will not announce it as they start their partnership with Xiaomi.
