[deleted post]I agreed, past few months I noticed they are trying to convince that even without Google Services you can live with their phones. May be chinese can live but not other people in the world can not. It will be very difficult to normal user to use Android Phone without GMS. Even techie like me don't want disturb basics of what u get. Cause rooting or doing something stupid can crash or disturb your phone. If you have spare $1000 and want to do experiment you can do. So I thing GSMarena guys giving highest rating, that this phones are very good for experiment :)

Due to no GMS their Sell is already declined, even though they are throwing new models in market and trying to convince ppl that we are doing well without GMS and spending lot of money after bloggers.

    This is about creating jobs for Americans. Period. He does not care about whether Apple makes money or not.

        LilPhone, 10 Jun 2020ROG Phone and P40 does not land in the same ballpark, they ... moreNot the same ballpark? I hear you. But then give the ROG 2 a rating of 4.8/4.9 since it's a monster within its own gaming category, right? Since camera doesn't matter at that point. Yet that's not what GSMArena did, so might as well compare it against the P40 Pro+ and all other flagships, and give it the rating it deserves.

        Also, good on paper is sth you say because you haven't experienced the ROG 2. I own one as my daily device and it's certainly premium enough. Not ceramic premium but I don't spend over 800 $/€ on a device. And the build quality is just fine.

That had nothing to do with their 5G networks. You could say it was part of the trade war with China but it did help to stifle competition against Apple in the US market.

              Anonymous, 10 Jun 2020You got it wrong. This is about keeping Americans employed... moreIf Apple one day tells Foxconn to make iphones out of China, the production will be moved to another place in Asia like India or southeast.
              Iphones will never be assembled in USA, as Tim C stated has once, production costs would raise by $150-200.

              Huawei and ZTE have 5G network, that is why Trumps wanna kick them out.
              Nothing to do with iphone sales, otherwise he would do same to Samsung.

                Hang on a minute I thought this was true 10x optical zoom not upscaled. None the less the images are great especially that wide angle detail. Night shots look better using auto

                  I don't really get how can be the best rated phone this year, when it has so many compromises for price asked.
                  I've used Huawei in the past but C'mon this is beyond ridiculos.

                  No stereo speakers, no jack, propietary cards, lack Of G services and that means you can even watch HD content on Netflix or amazon. Hilarious.

                    Would be nice to see a tele comparison with the P40 Pro.

                      The punchole is big and ugly.. So hard to ignore, plus there is no Google... This phone must stay in China

                        Anonymous, 10 Jun 2020Well, this phone has too many flaws for the score granted. ... moreFew more compromises.

                        -Footage thru telephoto is dark.
                        -videos thru telephoto are sub par compared to the competition.
                        -low bitrate issue in videos still not fixed.
                        -can't turn off AIS.
                        -Cine lens has subpar video recording compared to competitors.
                        -lower resolution screen with no 120hz refresh rate.
                        -battery is below average compared to other 90hz phones on the market despite lack of play services hogging in the background.
                        -ugly notch.
                        -No stereo speakers.
                        -No 3.5mm jack.
                        -lack of availability.
                        -high price.

                          LilPhone, 10 Jun 2020ROG Phone and P40 does not land in the same ballpark, they ... moreYeah same as iPhone. Every batch supplied in Asia and Europe is riddled with issues on hardware part.
                          Antenna problem, ghost touches, screen cracking in winters.
                          Software takes lot of time to fix bugs as well.

                          Nobody wants to pay 1000 dollars for sub par user experience.
                          One is better off with an 2020 or 2019 Android flagship.

P40 is instantly more premium than the ROG Phone with bad build quality. Heard some Indonesian and Malaysian users have issues with either the first or second gen ROG Phone. Specs on paper do not justify a high rating.

                            P40 Pro+, except the price tag and lack of GMS, truly deserves this rating.

                                3x zoom compared to the main camera is actually pretty disappointing. When both cameras have the same thing in focus, the difference is not very big, besides the main camera having some issues with moires (which you could probably work around with if you use RAW). The 3x camera is a bit better, bit not exactly three times as good resolving details. Far from it. I think Huawei cheaped out on the sensor, holding back the 3x camera. That is disappointing for what the P40 Pro+ is supposed to be.

                                The 10x camera is very good, only problem is you need to be pretty far away to make use of it.
