Why not mention how much more advanced the Huawei satellite communication is?


They was first - and also way more advanced solution than its competitors. Even Huawei smartwatches have more features regarding satellite communication than latest flagship Apple phones.


While Huawei smartphones can even do voice communication through satellite.

I give credit where credit is due. That's a pretty good feature marred only by a lackluster software platform and hardware that is pretty mid.

It's like carrying a first aid kit with you. You hope you never need it, but it is nice to have it if you do.

Too bad Huawei can't escape the lack of having Google services and a real OS.


Awesome feature, though, even if saddled with a lackluster software platform and poor hardware to support it.

It's great that Huawei doesn't need Google services to sell to many devices that they are on several top 10 global lists, with a read and versatile OS backing it that doesn't have near as many issues as a certain device does.

As a hiker, I appreciate a feature like this but we heard about this from Apple first. Huawei introduced it first because it was their turn to release their phone. Apple is not going to change their release date so they can claim first on a feature.


When you sell about 5 million premium phones annually and most are local it is much easier to include features to remain competitive vs. 100 million sales worldwide by Apple. That takes far more preparation. Huawei is a communications company. Maybe they had this planned all along, but the first info coming out about satellite communications on a phone was connected to Apple.

Apple does it first, Huawei follows and copies just like certain 🤡s do.

It's not so great since Huawei does need Google services in order to sell *too many devices so that they can be on several top 10 global lists OUTSIDE of China, with a *read (real?) and versatile OS backing it that doesn't require so as workarounds just to perform basic tasks unlike a certain device that's superior to Huawei phones.

Awesome feature, even if saddled with a lackluster software platform with poor hardware support.

It's definitely great, as Huawei doesn't need Google services in order to sell devices, as proven by the fact that they can be on several top 10 global lists, with global meaning the entire PLANET, and not just China. You would think that some people would actually know what the word "global" means smh. With HarmonyOS being an extemely versatile OS backing it, it doesn't require workarounds to exterminate the massive amount of bugs that a certain OEM's phones have, and can easily perform basic tasks, unlike a certain beta and buggy devices that are inferior to Huawei phones.


Awesome feature, with a great software platform and great hardware to support it.
