The new chip is inferior to its predecessor from a technical standpoint.

Huawei would have dominated the world in Telecommunications had US believe in fair competition. No other company in the world would have survived let alone flourish with the western ban. What Huawei had achieved is unbelievable despite the adversities. Innovations after innovations, there's no stopping them. One thing for sure, Samsung would have given up making mobile phones if US did not deprive Huawei of chips and software. So the real winner of the sanctions is Samsung. Now let's look at Samsung Galaxy ZFold6, it's so devoid of innovation even the most die hard of Samsung fans would find it hard to buy one. I predict that Samsung will abandon the mobile phone market before the turn of the decade.

Oh Huawei was so great and would be ok without GMS and all, right they vanished completely. All the tech innovation is lost because only China will see that, the rest of the world not. One large competitor is gone in the global market. Just face it: Huawei is gone. It will be gone as long as it stays this way without fully supported Android OS. A simple fact. Don’t hold on to the past and admit your wrongs and stop being a clown and ridicule yourself in front of all of us.

          Geekbench scores for the 9000s were out fairly early plus the predecessor was 5nm and the current is 7nm. Supposedly the new P-series phone will be 5nm.

You even mentioned Samsung had no competitors in the last 3 years ago and I just mentioned many brands. I'm not sure if you lack English speaking skills or pretending you are an adult.

                But good luck we can end our chat here.

                  Not terrible for the first try (to build the chip without reliance on US tech) but obviously not competitive in terms of both power efficiency and performance yet. I'll give Huawei a few years to see how further they could grow from here.

The US constitution is free for the public, so I assume you can find it for me? Or do me a favour and go to your local tech business and ask them that question and watch them laugh at you.

                      Also many people know the USA government spies just like every government around the world. The difference is in the USA if caught you will go to trial and a video will be made for the public to see. Meanwhile in China you will either disappear, get assassinated, have all your social media blocked and deleted or if your lucky get a trial but nobody will know if it was a fair trial because the video will never be shown.

                              Also, it looks to me that the CPU is winning. The GPU is slower, but for most people it's a non-factor. What Huawei has accomplished with their own architectures is frankly amazing and it should improve quite significantly within 3-4 years.

There are metrics on Google and Apple websites showing how much data requests from the US govt they have complied with each year. And Snowden has already informed everyone about PRISM and hack on Huawei by NSA. Anyone who claims US doesn't spy on mobile phone users is spreading misinformation.
