chooyaochuen, 23 Oct 2021Without Google on boards, it's gonna be a tough sell. Just add in the fact that they are using the 4g version of the 778, if they are going with 4g only its better to use sd860, and offer it on a lower price point.
Huawei is still depending on Chinese loyalty to stay afloat. But sooner or later , people would go for the best specs for money.- Yes , they dont also have google services installed, but the fact remains is still over price compared to the chinese competitors.

    Without Google on boards, it's gonna be a tough sell.

                                  Kirins were certainly far from efficient or more powerful compared to competition.
                                  Right now they seriously lack behind Mediatek, and soon they will be beaten even by Spreadtrum when it comes to efficiency.

                                        [deleted post]LOL. Huawei doomed itself by not pulling a BBK and rejecting interference and intervention from the Chinese government party line.

                                        Notice how BBK is NOT subject to the crippling anti-China-tech measures imposed on Huawei, and how OnePlus specifically is thriving and breaking prepaid phone sales records in the US...
