Without Google services, an OS that doesn't require shady workarounds and sideloading from shady app stores, and compatibility with networks OUTSIDE of China, I find that highly unlikely.

But Huawei release global version HarmonyOS, So only Wait.

Let's await the official release of Apple's foldable device before drawing conclusions, especially considering the reception of the Pixel 11.

Well it's true. You're showing more butthurt than that 🤡 fool Kamal used to when it came to BlackBerry.

Don't mind her. Her post is post is just a just an off topic and ad hominem attack due to her own pure, unadulterated butthurt and bitterness, much like how that 🤡 Karen used to be back in the day.

Samsung is rly good, but Pura X Max more good.

The Pura X Max is really meh. It runs a Frankenstein OS that requires shady workarounds and sideloading fixes just TO get rid of bugs because Huawei doesn't update their devices consistently, and it has limited compatibility with networks outside of China. And as Huawei zealots have already proven, they really do need Google Services to sell devices despite what's said otherwise, as they are on several top 10 global charts...in the Others category. 😏

I wouldn't mind trying it (or a successor) once they go truly global. Looks good.

You might as well compare the Z Fold 8 to the iPhone 37. That doesn't exist yet either.


Incidentally, there's nothing wrong with the Magic Mouse unless you don't know how to hold a mouse properly.

I've traveled the world and my Huawei always works well. It actually picks up better than my Xiaomi in a lot of places. I haven't tried my vivo outside of the US and China yet though. But of course my American version of Samsung always picks up well everywhere I've been.

I believe you. You've always been a reliable source of information when it comes to certain Chinese OEMs like Huawei.

Yeah, I try to not be biased. The phone I always wanted was a Pixel (I think it looks very cool) but just never got around to getting one. I also want to try an Oppo and a Sony as a daily driver at some point.


The HomeAway app really does have almost every app I use (the one I was surprised about is Okta). I can't get gboard or Google Pay to work on it though, but I've heard there are workarounds. But since I also carry a Googleized Android I never tried because A) why bother and B) I want to be able to give honest answers without people having to jump through hoops. Like if I give my phone to my mom, she will have no idea how to sideload apps or download another app store. So I should use the easiest built in way to do things so that way my advice is bare minimum.
