It's not really a flex considering that it's primarily a Chinese phone that's gated out of standard functionality outside of China where it's pretty much dead in the water. Factoring in that it doesn't have Android, doesn't have a standard OEM warranty, and limited carrier compatibility, it's not really a flex.

My first Huawei phone was the original, Ascend Mate. Loved the wider aspect ratio. Now all phones, are tall/skinny. I think the reason is so all of the social media/influencer types can more, easily snap selfies with one hand while posing. 🤣

It's definitely a flex, and it being a "Chinese phone" has nothing to do with anything. That's just someones xenophobia talking. It also has standard functionality outside of China where it isn't dead in the water, and anyone saying that it is has never used a HarmonyOS powered device before. Every device doesn't have to run Android to be capable, and some Android devices are incapable of not introducing more bugs and issues on a regular basis. It does have a standard OEM warranty, the person saying that it doesn't can't back that up with facts. It also has compatibiltiy with many carriers, so it's really a flex.

They recently released a wider phone. I saw a quick look at it from Average Dad' video about Huawei.

🙄 Oh ffs, spare us the overzealous fanboy cope. Calling basic criticism "xenophobia" doesn't magically make a crippled app ecosystem, sidelined Google Mobile Services from sketchy workarounds, and a heavily restricted OS running on a sanctioned chip a "flex" as someone is erroneously reporting. Buying a CHINA status symbol with a regional chokehold isn't innovation— it's paying top dollar to live life on hardcore difficulty just to flex a brand logo that lacks the core functionality of the more established OEMs.
