Why is the telephoto camera so expensive the specs looks to be the same as the P40 pro with the exception of 5.5x Zoom

    For that price? buy a laptop and a regular smart phone. Don't waste money.

      Yes, they are better than the so-called global charging standards both in terms of charging speed and battery longevity and the charger is included in the box. Watch some unboxing videos of Huawei Mate XT Ultimate where not one but two chargers are included in the box.

        Horrible design, foldable screens are still horrible as well - and this one is on the outside, repair nearly impossible, SOC not great, price extreme. I like this device tech-wise, but I predict this is not the way to go.

            Big brands could use fast charging with global standards if they wanted btw.

            But it's not like Chinese ones are better by ignoring the use of global standards, especially when brands like Xiaomi start removing charging bricks from boxes (they started this year doing that in my country)

              Chinese brands use proprietary charging tech, which works perfectly fine the moment you use their own bricks, but works terrible when you don't.

              I know someone that got a Honor Magic 6 Pro, they don't sell the phone with brick in box here and Honor doesn't sell the charger here, any other brand of fast chargers didn't go beyond 18 watts because that is the limit that honor set to chargers from other brands.

              Same with xiaomi, had recently a discussion with someone who their charger got lost, and only the original xiaomi charger supported anything above 20 watts.

              Meanwhile brands with slow charging at least use global standards, so that slow 45 watt charging on a Samsung phone does also work with my Steam Deck charger, or a Anker one.

              Not to justify slower charging, someone can always buy a slower charger if they don't want 120watts on their phone, there is no reason to not support real fast charging.

              Problem is that Chinese brands only care about themselves, they should start using global standards for fast charging to make consumer life easier, instead of relying on proprietary charging tech.

                Lately, Samsung (and half eaten fruit) failed miserably in Charging speed.
                That's because Samsung and fruit don't have the tech and perhaps material know how.

                Second,

                            Congratulation, you just admitted that this huawei is just another prototype, half baked product no worthy to buy.

                            No different than trifold presented by Samsung few years ago. Atleast, samsung made better approach by not selling its prototype.

                                  "Take care of your device, and everything is fine" logic does not aplly to foldables.

                                  Even if you babysit it, the fodable screen issues can happen.
