                  Agreed! The loss and win here in the case of Honor seems more acceptable.

                  My problem with Chinese devices especially their midranges and so called money for Value devices it's the price (like the poco and latest honor)

                  In my area here prices makes it very hard for you to pick up a Chinese device over a Samsung / Apple and probably a Pixel.

                  The money for Value thing, here it's more like you get what you paid for except you are after a low end with 100 bucks cost.

                    My problem with MagicOS is the same problem with other Chinese skins, they don't allow you to disable MaterialYou. I ended up with a ghastly brown tint to all my Google apps just because I had a reddish wallpaper. And no, I'm not not changing wallpaper. At least Samsung give you the option to default the colour theme.

                      I'm honor magic 5 owner and I totally agree with the article. if honor improved it's UI and MagicOS then I can bet anything it will be in the top 3 OEM globally.
