I can live without 5G, but without Google services nope, I can not! I know there are some method to make Google services work, but everything can work perfectly that way?

The AppGallery and Petal search are currently seamlessly integrated. In other words, if you are desperate for an app that doesn't have a (better) native alternative in the AppGallery, Petal installs it directly through the AppGallery from third-party stores - without you even leaving the AppGallery. YouTube, seriously, I cannot imagine using YouTube "red" after having tried superior apps. Google Spy-Location and Google Bugs-Maps are replaced in all native apps with Petal maps - has a better interface and isn't as obtrusive. If your bank is not supported in the AppGallery it says volumes about the bank itself not the AppGallery, coz most decent bank are. NFC is also dependent on the bank app - again your bank is the issue here.
I do agree that the Celia is not nearly as developed as the Google assistant, however, I never cared for either. Not sure why any person needs to be talking to their phones.
Mind you, I know that GBox is a helpful workaround, however it's an option not a must - that's if you cannot live without GMS. In addition to my recent Huawei devices, I still use a Samsung S9+ and a P30 - in both devices I have disabled most Google services. You know why, coz GMS is a "menace"!

Another lie we have Google maps app so..., no google assistant thank God for that just trash filling up my screen, no global NFC compatibility?? What's are u? 007?? HDR support?

all these together make a premium smartphone experience. only a slightly better camera does not make up for all these faults. that's why huawei flagships cannot ever compete with apple and samsung flagships unless they get much cheaper.

The other brands are just a very small niche bought usually only by people with zero technical knowledge or received for free in exchange for a 2 year contract. Otherwise nobody would actually pay for one. They're highly UNDESIRABLE.
PS Did you get your pork chops when you pre-ordered yours? 🐷
Greetings from Europe, where quality over quantity will always win!

The most important for me is no 5G. I'm still using Mate 40 Pro and will hold it for a few years.

Anonymous, 02 Apr 20231000 dollars for a Huawei? Only drunk people will buy it.The aftermarket price of huawei devices goes down pretty quick, I've seen the P50 and P50 pro drop in price very fast, and the recently release Mate 50 pro as well. Not worth spending that much money.

1. No Google Mobile Services
2. can't sideload apps after HarmonyOS 3.0x (EMUI OS 3.0x) due to stupid Huawei limitation
3. App selection in Huawei Gallery is severely limited
4. Many apps in Huawei Gallery are special versions modified for Chinese markets
= useless phones and overpriced at that
