It will be unfortunate if a great tech like Huawei will be allowed to die off because of whatever it is made Google cut them off. Please, let it be resolved in time. Huawei and Google are an unbeatable combination. This is a great phone from Huawei as usual, so unfortunate the software is killing it.

Rkm, 04 Feb 2022No mention of raw photos. Gsmarena, can it take BW raw photos? Knowing Huawei, they provide RAW support on all sensors since P9 days.

so, let's review:
- curved glass (easy to break and hard and expensive to fix)
- screen with max 754 nits, mediocre for a flagship
- snapdragon 888 with 4g only, that throttles - in 2022
- no hdr support, netflix in sd 480p LOL
- 76h battery life - wow, a 200 dollars phone can pass 100h
- -27.3 loudness score, very mediocre
- android 11 (12 is already here), no google play, no voice assistant
- gets hot while benchmarking or gaming
- main camera that blurs half the photo (no proof it's an isolated case)
- ultrawide camera with poor autofocus
- proprietary card slot, no headphone jack
- all of this for 1200 euro
WOW

The 4g chip and no GMS doesn't save any money for the company. In fact it probably costs more. Snapdragon are likely to charge them extra for the 4g chip as they need to produce and sell it in small quantities just for Huawei. Also not being able to use GMS means they have to spend a lot more money than other android brands developing their own software alternatives. In reality this makes their phones not that competitive in terms of price so a very small number of consumers are likely to choose this phone. It'll probably be years before they can access flagship level 5g chips again if they can survive in the smartphone business for that long. I think the main selling points of Huawei phones before the US ban were the Kirin chipsets and cameras but now they can't even use their own chipsets and can't access custom camera sensors anymore without a special licesne (at least from Sony or Samsung)

Goes to show that SD 888 really contributes to an overall horrible battery life whichever device this is put in. I suspect the same with any SD 8 gen 1 device.

"Huawei's AppGallery handles the default app installations, but we hate that it shows 3s ads almost every time you open it. We don't find this solution user-friendly - but we guess the focus with this feature has been to help developers promote their apps."
I don't like 3 second ads when opening AppGallery either. In my experience however, I don't see ads every time I visit AppGallery. Once AppGallery is opened and is in the background, it doesn't show ads next time I go to AppGallery again. Even when I fresh launch AppGallery, sometimes it shows an ad, sometimes doesn't, so actually I don't see ads most of the time. I'm not specifically a P50 Pro user, but I doubt the P50 Pro should be different for this matter considering that the app is the same.
By the way, unlike Apple, Huawei AppGallery does not put ads first, above what users actually type and search for, on the search result pages.

The ultrawide camera is surprisingly hood. It is just a cheap small 13 MP sensor, smaller than the 12 MP ones on S21 Ultra or even the BBK ultrawides which are 50 MP IMX 766. It doesn't stand a chance against BBK ones, especially Vivo X70 Pro Plus ultrawide. But for a 13 MP 1/3 inch sensor it is superb that the shots at night was that bright. But that green tint is just too much

In the camera department, can you guys please use aperture mode instead of portrait mode?
The main camera is also the primary portrait shooter, and it does a brilliant job. The 12.5MP portraits (1x zoom) we took with it offer proficient subject separation and natural-looking blur, while the subjects remain detailed and sharp. The colors and the dynamic range and quite good, too.
There are more zoom levels within the Portrait mode (2x, 3x), but they provide digital zoom over the main camera and save pretty soft portraits.
Portraits are soft and has beauty as well as skjn smoothing on its software.
Try aperture mode please. Remember the mate 40 pro camera comparison review? Aperture mode is way better than portrait mode in terms of details

For the first time in history, Huawei's phones doesn't have an better battery life and cameras than its competitors. Yet, it costs the same, brings an older processor, no 5G, no GMS. It should have been $749 and £699 max. Only thing good about this is the design

In the review in the design part, it says =
"The screen may appear curved, but it's not - that's an illusion coming from the curved glass. It's been done in the past a lot, so that's hardly surprising."
What does this mean? Can anyone explain? The screen is curved like flagships from Samsung, Xiaomi, etc right?
