I had Mate 40 pro, great phone, camera battery life etc, but i sold it for poco f3 why? Bcs in app gallery so little amount of apps, my banking app was outdated, NFC was not working, some apps (even when i found them on aptoide or somewhere) were just crashing after trying to open them. Sure you can get around most of the stuff with no GMS but it is huge pain and i would rather have weaker phone with GMS

          The first one of the series with the Leica and Monochrome camera setup was the P9, still one of my favorites.

            Super Mobile specifications , but without Google Play !! I don't think it will sell much, they need to set with Google to settle there problems.
            Yes i would really buy it but if its Android operating system.

Possibly you haven't gotten time to play with it and find out what's capable of doing. You queried if the phone runs Android apps yes without sweltering even some direct Google apps works well on the phone

                Your arguments were not correct and the only true Android OS is of Google without any layer on top like OEMs. However Huawei understood Android is an open application that accommodate anything you throw at it. The ban removed Google qpps compatibility from Huawei phones hence you can't run them.

                But going through APK sources these apps are successfully run and even if you prefer using browser all apps are running well without sweltering. So Fella get the experience before making your comment

                      Hardware alone with their Android fork OS that is miles ahead should be enough to keep them in top 3 spots no?
                      Simply put, without GMS Huawei phones are not as good as people say. Same could be said about Samsung and Xiaomi I imagine.

                          but the UI and hardware could reach in top 5 in 2021 easily, no doubt

                                    In all honesty, check them out and reply with what you think is better.

                                    I see the S21U having a way sharper image with no blurred edges.
                                    Look at the following areas
                                    -Twine to the right
                                    -Donkey patch to the right
                                    -Both bank notes
                                    -Spongebob on the upper left side
                                    Curious what you see in those samples provided?

Curr... moreJust to confirm what I already thought but if you look at the camera samples provided on this website between the P40 Pro+, Mi 11 Ultra and the S21 Ultra its clear as day that the S21u is the winner. Everything is sharper from 12mp down to 2mp.
                                        Maybe in you real world situation it looks better but these samples don't lie.
                                        Maybe your also desperately trying to defend your p40 for some unknown reason.
