There's a reason the US is scared shitless of pure Chinese products. I remember, back in 2018 or 2019, I had this Chinese student in my class, and when he sat next to me, and whipped out his Huawei's MateBook Pro X [if I recall correctly], I was just amazed by how good that thing is. I had a 13' 2017 MBP. That MateBook's build quality and feel was as good as my MacBooks. Which is a big deal, because even today, no other company comes close to Apple's level of build quality than Dell [that too just its XPS Lineup]. Was recently in China on a Work trip. Got to see the Luxeed S7 in person. Tesla looks like shit in front of it. No wonder Tesla's shit-scared of BYD, Xiaomi and other Chinese EV Makers.

[@JamesPeach]

Yeah the Chinese make good products. I remember when I was in Highschool in 2012, my history teacher said China wasn't competition for the USA because they only made cheap plastic toys, lmao. American mentality is of denying the facts by ridicule and hoping the issue magically goes away and if it doesn't then impose sanctions. Shame. The great things both titans could achieve if the USA was only willing to be humble and work with China.

[@seewhyyy]

HUAWEI MateBook X Pro, now even significantly lighter than before, an Ultra 9 powerhouse at just 980g, pretty insane

[@cooltwittertag]

the matebook was literally a direct copy of the macbook even down to the name lmao, the US is scared all of its patented technology will get stolen since thats what china is known for.

[@navixaxa5023]

@@cooltwittertag Maybe if you knew that a lot of giants like Lenovo and OnePlus, apart from so many other brands, are Chinese, and they make exceptional products, then maybe you might not have been saying this. Apple, which itself steals Patents [like the Blood-Oxygen feature], is already losing market badly in China.

​​​@@jdkgcpYou're ignoring the fact that those specs absolutely suck for the price. They're not competitive at all. You can get a Oneplus 12 for 749€, An S24 Ultra for 1000€, or even an iPhone 15 Pro Max for 1100€... Why would you get a phone with half the capability for 1500€?

​@@CantrippingHuawei doesn't want to compete by the price, they want the fans to buy it, if you don't like, just don't buy, but the phone is only behind others because of the CPU

[@mytube30005]

People seems to always impress in how fast the phone processor is whether it's 1.5nm or whatever... But this phone has proven that the phone is not all about the CPU. It's about its capabilities. Huawei have always have one of the best, if not the best, camera. On top of that, it has the first of many things, like the ultra popout camera, satellite communications, etc...

[@rupiter2008]

For me pura 70 series is the best looking smartphone of this year. Yes, the Kirin is still several years behind Snapdragon and there are no Google services, but this is completely "western technology free" phone. And here in Russia it is officially sold at the same price as in China (or even cheaper).

[@braulioherrera5980]

you can install MicroG easily and use the Gapps with no problem

[@drive637.]

Honestly. I firmly believe Huawei is simply the best high-tech Chinese brand out there stomping on all the competition. If you want to get one, import it from China so you get Harmony OS because the company has yet to deploy it worldwide. If you want the Huawei experience but absolutely want to stick to android as well as GMS, go for the Honor Magic 6 Pro.

[@thomyads]

I think it's about time we say "that you'll never buy" because Huawei is BACK. It's not as handicapped as it was prior to this phone

[@majasan31]

I am surprised how ignorantly you review the phone without an understanding of how Google apps work and are installed on Hauwei phones in spite of the American ban on Hauwei phones. Those of us who love the phone are still buying the phone with all Google Apps working well. Please be well informed before review. Your review downgraded the phone. That's bad of you. It seems you reviewed the phone with a biased mindset.

[@peterzachar1689]

Huawei Mate 50 Pro starting price was 1400€, it is 500€ now. So just wait a little and you can have great phone for bargain price. Best camera, waterproof, durable, fast charging (100% in 30 min), good display, good sound, GMS can be added easily, it has infrared port so You can use it as remote controller ! And unlike Samsung, charger, cable and phone-cover IS included !

[@iamqaisermunir]

android and ios were not always as big as they are today huawei was getting too big everyone else was like hell no i however think if huawei survives this theres really light at the end of the tunnel if they can manage to still put out new features and impress people with a chip thats years behind what if they make a chip thats close enough to what we have now and even outside china there might still be countries that will be interested in a less googly phone and if they can create a user base large enough with all the anti trust stuff going on biggere companies might even be forced to make their apps available on huawei's store would be crazy android ios and a third one whatever its called.

[@markt47]

I was interested in this phone but the price is close to S24 Ultra so I'd rather have that 200mega pixel. I'm actually dissapointed with most phones this past few years except for a few. My OppO Reno2 still close to the specs of the non ultra flagship phones.

[@melvyncarrot4741]

The design and looks feel premium,I have a hands on but without a GMS and at this price point. I would rather go with Oppo or OnePlus.

[@alexdenton6586]

What surprises me the most is that there isn't much difference between the iPhone and Huawei. Yes, there's a difference, but it's not that huge, to be honest. So, I'm not sure it's worth buying, even though I'd like to. Installing Google apps on a Huawei isn't very complicated, but it requires more effort than on an iPhone. Moreover, I live in Europe, so the models available to us will only have 4G. Therefore, it's not certain that it's worth it compared to an iPhone 15 Pro Max in reality

[@jdkgcp]

That's what a modern premium aka "flagship" phone costs unlocked when not subsidized by a carrier/service plan. Pixel, iPhone, Samsung etc are the same at around $800-$1200. He also said they didn't actually announce the pricing and yet he claimed a price. So take it with a grain of salt when someone contradicts themselves in the same sentence. So probably around $800-$1200 unlocked at the lowest spec. Same as the rest. Point is, could you potentially pay close to 2k for a flagship premium phone unlocked and spec'd up? Yep.
