Huawei was banned from using non open source version after 10, the 11 and 12 were aosp, and no one can stop anyone from using latest release of aosp.

      I still believe Honor uses Huawei phones as footprint for their devices. I don't mind though as I am very happy with my Honor Magic V2 😁

        Huawei's hardware is nearly exceptional, if it weren't for the bonkers X Fold3 Pro, this might've been the best foldable hardware available and thus in some way worth the price. The X Fold3 Pro's cameras and battery more than make up for the thickness.

        This is a really pretty phone and i'd say better than the Magic V3 considering the camera hardware in here, Huawei's out here putting a variable aperture on a foldable and this phone has the same camera system as the Mate 70 Pro, that deserves commendation.

        But the hardware is just not good enough to actually consider buying, unless you're in China, this just ain't all that. Funny that even with all the US bans, Huawei still puts up a tough fight, just putting an Android OS and an SD 8 Elite would've destroyed the Z Fold6 and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold easily. Goes to show the main reason behind banning

          Now I finally see a point to them having their own OS. Although I don't get why build it from the ground up instead of using the free and open source AOSP. But then again, I don't understand much of anything, so there might be an obvious answer to this question starting right at me.

            Could you please remember to mention in software section of your review that EMUI 15 is based on Android 12, for which Google ends support next spring? The reason why it is important is that Huawei is banned from using Android 13 and thus this €2k phone will end up without any security patches in 4 months after its launch, not to mention inability to run apps which wont support legacy Android 12.
