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. 😏

I've actually never had an app crash on my huawei. However, on my Vivo "Puzzle Breakers" does freeze about once a week, but I think that might be on the developer. haha

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?

Facts. While all OEM's borrow design cues from each other, it's Huawei that's being borrowed from here. HarmonyOS also doesn't have "Android vibes". Comments like that are how you know when someone has never used the OS.

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.

Crispin, I can respect your opinion for what you stated compared to another who's still buttmad because I said something about Huawei that got them triggered in an OPEN FORUM. Can't use something that has zero functionality outside of China no matter how much kicking and screaming the buttmad 🤓🤡 does.

You got that bumburned 🧟 flip flopping like a fish out of water again LMAO! She's still triggered because I prefer certain devices and further expose the forever beta & buggy Pixels she worships that keep getting basic functionality broken due to the constant bugs. Kicking and screaming won't stop the bugs from happening, Google finally taking QC seriously will.

Like I said before, I can respect your opinion for what you stated compared to another who's still buttmad because I said something about Huawei that got her triggered like a murder hornet on a cycle in an OPEN FORUM. Again, can't use something that has zero functionality outside of China no matter how much kicking and screaming the buttmad 🤓🤡 does. The worst Pixels are still far better than anything Huawei copies up. 😏

I've never tried HarmonyOS but I've read on other forums where there are workarounds for Google Play Services. Twenty years ago I was all about ROMs on Windows Mobile 6 and later Android, but that was because the OEMs were delivering incomplete products to market. It's different now for the most part because Google and Microsoft still adhere (rigidly) to the archaic vision of throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. They have that luxury because of their seemingly endless coffers. Chinese makers, Huawei included, do not. There's no reason a small-ish phone like a Pixel 10 Pro should weigh more than a Z Fold 8, that's inexcusable. My Razr Fold is a heavy device but it's svelte compared to the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and it has digitizers on the cover AND main screens. I won't even begin to voice my displeasure with Microsoft over the Surface Duo line. They all need to do better by the consumer but especially the home team. I'll revise my statements after the iPhone bendy comes out.
