Discussion - Apple’s archenemy just announced one of the most intriguing smartphones this year

We both know that Google manages to code a bug ridden global OS that needs a U. S. and Israeli backed monopoly to duct-tape a cracked, forked version of Linux together just so people can watch a YouTube video after sideloading a shoddy workaround. 😏

The only thing duct taped here is that asinine mess of a reply from a bitter zealot who's still mad because Android is a global OS with more functionality in the oldest, most outdated versions than anything in that cobbled mess of an OS that is HarmonyOS, which btw can't even open a simple web link without some sideloading in the background.

Nothing says "cutting-edge stability and functionality" quite like spending half of the day wondering if your banking app is going to crash or if your notifications are just permanently lost in the HarmonyOS void.

By all means keep stanning that restricted hardware island of sideloading mediocrity, though. Someone's gotta buy the leftovers when the rest of the world moves on while Huawei is still left in the dust. 😏

Nothing says "cutting-edge stability and functionality" quite like spending half of the day wondering if your banking app is going to crash or if your data connections are just permanently lost in the Google Pixel buggy & beta void.

By all means keep stanning that buggy & beta hardware island of sideloading bug fixes mediocrity, though. Someone's gotta buy the leftovers when the rest of the world moves on, while Googles Pixels are still left far behind in the dust with their 1% global market share compared to Huawei's 8% global market share. 😏

The only thing duct taped here is that asinine mess of a reply from a bitter zealot who's still mad because HarmonyOS powered smartphones from Huawei have 8 times more global market share than Googles Pixel phones do, as well as having more functionality in the oldest, most outdated versions of it than anything in that cobbled mess of devices that Pixels are. Which, btw, can't even open a simple web link without some sideloading a bug fix in the background first.

Please stop arguing about app crashes. We all know that Android is notorious for stability issues, including frequent app and OS crashes, not to mention the fact that after a major Android update, many apps are often broken for several days.

Well the Pura X foldable did come out well before the Z Fold 8 or the iPhone Whateverit'scalled, so as 'Retha sang - who's zooming who?

Well it's about damned time. This phone is a tad shorter than a Lumia 1520 or Nexus 6 and weighs about the same. They're within millimeters of each other in width and y'all going apesh!t about the size? This needs to happen, or re-happen to be more accurate. The article mentions the S7 Edge yet it "only" had a 5-1/2" display. The Note 5 was 5.7" and was considered a behemoth. Count me in.

True, but when you look at the software it's running, it's definitely got some heavy iOS and Android vibes, a Frankenstein OS pretty much. Huawei also does borrow design cues from Samsung at times.
