Any source that 3D facial unlock can be "easily fooled" in "many scenario"?

    take care of fast charge. the battery can wear out more quickly by time. one of my former mobiles (motorola) wore out quickly bc of fast charging.

    I now just use a linear charger such as ikea with 3 ports.
    when not using the device i store it at 20% (power off). otherwise i charge within 20%-80%. you can also put it in the refrigerator if you dont use it for a longer time.

      There is no google playstore ! But no problem for me:

      gmail: i use GMX with k-9 mail (the only imap app that has not (-) when searching for mails), k-9 might not work with gmail but outlook also is quite good. K-9 for me the best pop and imap e-mail client
      photos: can upload and view with chrome
      keep: can use chrome
      music: does not work, copied mp3 and flacs and use vlc, pulsar or musicolet
      youtube: per browser or an app called newpipe
      Hangouts and dialer: dont work, can be replaced with skype
      maps: use browser or herewego
      calendar: use outlook or onecalendar (login on google account)
      google drive: can still download in chrome but also use mega and gmx cloud (up to 6 gigs free if activated)
      earth: still works
      chrome: chrome still works but firefox too (and has good addins)
      google translate: still works
      google play: pure, apkmirror, apkmonk, huawei appgallery or petal (to to make updates)
      app transfer: huawei phone clone (from huawei to huawei)
      solid file manager license still works after phone clone but u can also use MK explorer
      Xodo doesnt work but use foxit which is good as well, tripadvisor shows message that it wont work but even though it works good, androffice does not work, all other non google apps that i tested do work.

        Anonymous, 13 Jun 2020atleast p40 pro/pro plus comes with proper 3d face unlock.Infact it is the gimmick 3d face unlock that doesn't work properly and can be easily fooled in a variety of scenarios.
        Besides, so many ppl complaining about it not working properly with a mask during covd19.

          Under the display fingerprint scanner and 120hz, both work flawlessly on Android.

          IOS brand boys literally have to resort to lies to feel good about their inferior OS.

              coyz, 11 Jun 2020that ugly notch destroys the whole specs of the phone!atleast p40 pro/pro plus comes with proper 3d face unlock.

                kerul, 11 Jun 2020It's not addiction, it's truth you have to swallow it. And ... moreFor me it's easy. Even if Chinese company spying on me, it doesn't affect my life, as possibility that they can actually USE this data is minimal. US is another story. But then again. NO evidence so far that Huawei is spying. ABUNDANCE EVIDENCE that most of US companies do.

                  Anonymous, 12 Jun 2020Still very much alive though and selling plenty of phones.Of course huawei is alive, their biggest income is not the puny cellphone division, almost everybody thinks that huawei is just cellular handsets, which definitevely is not, the real important stuff for huawei is exactly the other part, infrastructure

                        kerul, 11 Jun 2020I'm not saying don't do innovation, but do you think it's w... morePaying or not depends on your priorities. I'm not a brand follower and I won't defend Huawei's pricing policy coz their phones are definitely not cheap. But I can easily say that this phone (the P40 Pro+) is one of the most innovative ones both hardware and software wise. Whether you agree or not the approach followed by Huawei is bold and definitely needed for the consumers. And I don't mean Huawei's consumers only. It's guys like you who claim that life without GMS is difficult need such and initiative from other companies. It's simply healthy for the consumer and for the competition.
                        I respect your opinion about your experience with a Huawei phone and the Huawei App Store. I honestly had a completely different one. The App Store is growing very quickly and with a plethora of options (especially here in Europe). I had my share of gadgets and I could easily say that the new generation of Huawei phones are way ahead of competition.
                        This being said, nothing's perfect, but I (and many whom I know) are willing to try something new.
                        If Google has become an anchor to innovation I'm willing to cut it loose with a smile. I've already done this with Apple.

                          I prefer the Mi 10 pro, this one it's too expensive and don't have a huge difference.

                                what the points if they have good camera but can't use google service...its just another ordinary phone...but too expensive

                                  selfie cameras have occupied almost one-third of top of the front screen! what an awkward design!

                                    whats the point giving curved edge to edge screen when thr is chunky camera block infront. Ruins the whole look

                                      mandalaphone, 11 Jun 2020Based on your logic companies should stop innovating. They ... moreI'm not saying don't do innovation, but do you think it's worth to pay 1500$ plus for what I am not comfortable? And for what innovation? Do they give you a new OS other than Android? If not tell me why should I pay this much? And my main concern is that without GMS it's not mainstream product any more so how GSMarena can give this much of praise. Big puch hole, no stero speaker and no GMS and too much cost, even though they rated it very high score which is my main concern.

                                      And for your reference I'm currently using Huawei phone and I've tried Huawei store and believe me I was very much disappointed with their approach. So many ads and mostly only Chinese Apps, it's very hard to find mainstream app. So no to a phone without GMS until someone comes with some solid ground work.

And tell me which company is not spying? And give me a single example of social media app which is not spying. And how do you define spying in digital world?

                                        And do you believe that Huawei, Xiaomi and any B&K not spying? Even Apple is collecting your data and location. So just keep mum if you dont understand how data collection, AI and ML works.

                                        And apart from this give me an alternetive of Google Maps, Facebook, Twitter, GMail etc which are capable of doing same. Do you have any Idea of how many users in the whole world are using these apps?

                                        Think in a broadway not with narrow mind, it's like you have to live with Corona. Just accept their power in digital world all Apple, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon etc. If someone come with Good alternetive they will eat them, no mercy.

                                        If you understand this I will be happy or best of luck.
