realitychecker, 22 Sep 2019do they have xenon flash? Its a quad flash, it is not a xenon but its style could be intentional, so there is hope its good enough. They were also proud enough to boast about it, surely its better than before.

spied by chinesee: they also collect big data for business purpose too but more than that. You designed new stuff/products that might selling like hot cake, several months later another company will released new products that similar to your product before you. You sent some sensitive blueprints like F-35 fighter or new battle tank under development, then these blueprints/design are even available to sell on deep web/blackmarket. You generate a great fortune, they will analyze your informations to dig probability or finding chance to bring you through the court to get some of your fortune or extorting you.
So, which one will you choose?

Why would they do away with the square camera island from the Mate 20 series?! That was a distinct identity, meant something special. Not that this looks bad or anything...

The elephant in the room: No Google support: No Playstore, no Youtube. No Facebook, no FB messenger. Things the Chinese market don't have and don't care because they have analogs for those apps - Chinese apps with backdoors as mandated by the Chinese government. Huawei became #2 not because of the Chinese market only. There's the US, Japan, UK, Australia, Europe, India, and the rest of Asia. How will the rest of the world react to such exclusions? My forecast: Some buyer interest at first but rapidly fizzling out in the medium to long term (unless Trump and Huawei become friends again).
I own a Mi Pad 4 Plus LTE without Google services. Had to install unofficial Google Play Services and unofficial Google Playstore for it so I could add all my other essential/frequently used apps which are not available on the Chinese Appstore analogs. Besides, the Chinese Appstore analogs are all in Chinese text, making app search difficult, even if the app were available in the first place. It will certainly help if it were translated to English like what Huawei I suppose, will be doing with the Huawei Appstore in the Mate 30. But still, many apps would not be unavailable or if available, unofficial ported versions riddled with bugs and malware will hound Huawei's App store analog. Then there's even more security issues to deal with given the Chinese government has now even more control of the forked Android operating system.
I don't know how anyone outside of China (even if you exclude the US and UK) could react positively to that, assuming they were technically savvy in the first place to install unofficial Google Play Services apps or navigate/interact with a completely new appstore interface (Huawei appstore).

That circular camera setup really looks awesome, very professional.
The cameras are setting new standards, once again, and hit any competition right out of the water - especially lame ducks like Samsung and Apple with their 2016 12MP cameras XD
I'm especially happy about them coming without any Google garbage, that's best for your privacy.
Most people are under the ridiculous assumption that Google apps would be free. Nope, not at all, you're paying with your privacy.
All movements and searches on Google Maps, Google Fit etc. are tracked and recorded, so Google knows where you work, how long, where you live, your favourite places etc., without you specifying it. They also save all Google searches, the Chrome browsing history, read your Google Mail etc. All that is combined to create a user profile of you that's as detailed as possible.
The creation and sale of user profiles is very profitable and Google's main source of income - not ads, and even much less hardware sales like smartphones etc.
Google only became as rich as it currently is because it constantly collects as much data as possible about you, when using their apps and services, and creates detailed profiles of that to sell them. Compared to that, everything else (even Google ads) is just peanuts.
Besides that - I already had a China-only device from Huawei, the Huawei Honor Note 8. I had ordered it directly from a Chinese retailer, and it arrived factory sealed and still shrink-wrapped. Installing the play store on it was super easy, with a small download and detailed instructions from the internet, and didn't even take 5 minutes.
It still gets regular updates, so no problems there as well.

This phone isn't launching globally yet, so there is the chance that when launched they will drop the price. This phone is a beauty and a beast, but the price tag for it is absurd. The prices should be like= regular mate for $700, Mate pro 4G for $900 , regular 5G for 800, Mate pro 5G $1000. Those would be prices for base storage/RAM. With those prices, even if they got no play store they would definitely beat the competition because "The phone is so great" azs Yu said, but current prices seem like Huawei's success have got to their head.
Porsche Design should sell for $1.500 since its going against the freaking Galaxy Fold. If you wanna flash your money, you buy the Fold, not the Mate PD.
