      - using nikon camera to pretend photo was taken by front camera of nova.
      - lens with zero distortion
      - moon photos from internet
      - kirin 9000s
      - in-house future camera sensor, by omnivision
      - leica lenses

      Deal with the fact the intelligence agencies of many nations think H is spy.
      Does not matter if you and other here think Apple is behind whole story when it was never about H's phone business.

      Yeah, Apple that had 3 phones below $600 in the past 7 years would surely care about a company that sells mostly sub-$400 phones and 80% of their sales were in China, significant % from the sub-brand.

          Reason it has been removed by many nations.
          Also, the whole tech stolen from T-mobile.

But the blanket restrictions inevitably stymied Huawei's dominance in the smartphone sector as well. But as they say, the rest is history.

                Most if not all other companies would have gone extinct under these circumstances.

                Huawei, however, not only survived the ban but are making even better camera-centric phones than ever.
                And this is a hugely remarkable feat.
                And of course, since the ban didn't kill it, Huawei was literally forced to start developing own, independent solutions which in the long run will make them even more powerful and resilient than ever.

                Please note: I am not talking politics here, I don't say USA is bad or good or China is bad or good.
                I am strictly talking from a technological and engeneering perspective, and from that point of view, Huawei are doing a marvelous job, hands down.

                      The internet is full of rumors. Even Intel, AMD and nividia do usually not address any such rumors about their own chips. Most of the time, they neither confirm nor decline such rumors, they just ignore it.

                      So, if Intel has the right not to comment on rumors, why should Huawei be obliged to do so?

                        its funny How US is going out of its way to hurdle Huawei but since it couldn't own or kill the company until now ,the other way I guess is that it will make Huawei more stronger and that should be proven multiple times in the coming years .

                            The reality is that the ban from us has no value.
                            It has value only for the puppet countries.

                                  Huawei P70 sounds like it's going to be a camera beast.
                                  Is 5nm chip bad or is it still amazing???
