    Have you seen their Tri-Fold? No other company has made anything close to it. Now imagine if their progress had not been slowed down by US sanctions.

        I could also be wrong.

US not just sanction chips, but almost everything else using their 'allied' country. Camera sensors, bluetooth & wifi tech, 5G, etc. all have limitation for Huawei to evolve. I can bet P50 is supposed to bring 1st 1 inch smartphone camera sensor before anyone else, but got halt & sanction, force them to use limitation hardware.

                    By theory, TSMC cant be banned from the US or most electronics and automobiles are cooked in the US. Good luck using Samsung Foundry, which cant make enough chips for everyone. And I know Apple would rather admit Android better than use Samsung Fab.

                        Lister, 3 hours agoLot of anti western sentiment here. It's very sad. Western countries should slowly get used to the fact that they can also be criticized and are not the navel of the world. The West is not a divine species that has sovereignty over the world. The West is no more evil or good than the rest of the world. Admittedly, it is more evil at the moment.

                          They would have been at the level of Samsung or Apple right now.

                          The good thing with the fall of Huawei is that other Chinese companies could take its place globally.

                          I had 2 Huawei phones back in the day. Even though they were okay and I liked them, they were nothing out of this world. Just like any other smartphones.

                          I seriously doubt, that Huawei would had made some revolutionary discovery or changes to the smartphone world, if US didn't banned them. It was sad that it happened, but I doubt that things will be totally different now in the smartphone business, without this ban.

                            Here's the simple solution. BAN APPLE entirely in China. Watch AMERICA go bonkers :) 😉

                              Any other company except US companies: Hey, we are successful and we had nice profits in recent years.
                              United States Department of Commerce: Hold my beer.

                              Is just joke, don't send the guys to my home now. Lol.

                              Edit: If somebody finds me with two bullet holes in my back, it wasn't suicide, just to be clear.
