Too expensive for a phone that doesn’t has an OIS, no GMS and software update nor security patches update and still has one of the worst screen curved.

A little skewed review...
1. 3rd party store isn't a refined solution and simply cannot compete with PlayStore on the same front. Anyone using it can tell.
2. Placing Screenshot of various of store in one setting without Store title in the image is slightly misleading.
3. Just because it can sideload and have 3rd party store and you have no GMS service in Con list, does not justify not having 'No Google Play Store' or 'Limited popular App in default Store' on list.
4. And in the review, really, 'still no Google Map' is the only thing the review can come up with?
Come on... Don't be the next DxO...

Like all other Huawei models and most Chinese phones, the greens are "poisonous" and grossly over-emphasized. Take a look at the first snail sample, for example. No, the real world doesn't look like this.
GSMArena should be addressing such issues.

Nick Tagataka, 22 Oct 2020In summary:
-Huawei is now using a flagship level display ... moreI wonder why they put cortex A77 cores instead of cortex A78 cores.
A78 would have driven the cpu performance even higher.

Side load GMS is not stable. Trust me it not worth it if you need GMS. Basically it's not worth it outside China.
It's not surprising it sale well in China. It's price is significantly lower than global. How much? Half...

shab3y, 23 Oct 2020I understand your thoughts, but I must say, Trump is right ... moreI wouldn't believe what Trump has to say. If they're not straight out lies, it's stuff he just made up on the spot. Huawei is being used as leverage for his dumb trade war with China. Nothing more nothing less.

The curved screen looks great, but is it possible to get a screen protector for it?

Kriegsherr, 23 Oct 2020didnt CCP make hypocratic decision? all of google's se... moreNobody would've had any problem if they just kicked Huawei out of their own territory. After all that's what China does to Google, FB etc. and this kind of retaliation from US would be perfectly reasonable.
The difference, however, is that US government started to butt in with other countries' businesses, pressured them to get rid of them from 5G market and banned thousands of companies across the world from doing business with Huawei by threatening them that they would face sanctions if they wouldn't obey US' orders. So no, those two matters are not even close to being comparable.

The huge pill is a big turn off. Forget no GMS - it's not an issue to people who know there's more than 1 app for each service (and there are still at least 2 ways to sideload without rooting). I am a fan of curved screens (using a OnePlus 7 Pro and love the display). The camera assembly looks great, much better than those monster islands from Samsung. Just wish it didn't have that huge pill taking up half the notification bar. Probably won't come to the UK either.
