Well, this phone has too many flaws for the score granted.

- For 1400 euros tag, it shuld be at least 500 ppi.
- the cpu is not new, Hauwei should change this instead of bringing new cpu only with Mate.
- it does not have ddr5 ram because of the cpu
- annoying nano sd card
- no 10bit videos
- mono audio
- no HD streaming
- no google apps

I was expecting better photos for this hardware.

- Wide cam is less sharp than ultra wide as someone here has pointed out. It has huge corner softness on the right side.
- night photos have red tint where public lighting is yellow. It does not seem case of underexposure, because it would show orange hues. Even the sunset shot are awful.

I doubt this slow motion is real instead of interpolation.
With all this high number of frames, footage would be too dark because each frame has much faster shutter speed. Even worse because it was indoor situation and 720p.

      Wait until Sony releases their first major update and the 4.3 star review will turn into 4.6 or 4.7 just because of the Battery Tests, fixes and updates to the camera, paying attention to DSEE Ultimate and other audio gimmicks that are actually best in class and more.

            Nobody complaining about lens flare? Its too common nowadays basically in any flagship. Just check the moon pictures. My old phones never had any lens flare.

There hasn't been much innovation in any other mobile technology. Camera, screen, battery and build. This phone has aced all four.

Unfortunately I can't think of other ex... moreWhile I defend the fact that Huawei has expandable memory AT ALL (unlike the flagships of Google, Apple, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo, Nubia, and ROG), I do agree that camera and wireless charging ALONE shouldn't justify it scoring better than the ROG 2 when the latter has better performance, MUCH better speakers, a headphone jack, and better battery life.

                    I really don't like the implied importance of cameras...I get that audio has now become a niche to some but I want reviewers to put importance on EVERY aspect (Display, Battery Life, Audio, Camera, and Build which equal 5 stars).

                                With GMS, It would be one of the most competitive device on the market right now.
                                The camera quality is unbelievable for a smartphone.
                                This phone plays in a league of its own.

                                Maybe now you understand that the US took
                                action right before Huawei takes over Apple's market shares for good.
