As we all know we now has circle to search but in my Huawei Y9 2019 if you touch and hold any objects it will search for it and shows where you can buy it all back in 2018, Huawei was so ahead of it's time

These huawei phone reviews are so much good , they are making so much nostalgic, making me remember when phones were actually fine and made me wait for each iteration of flagships and brands were competing for more and more innovation ❤❤❤❤❤

The mate 40 pro is the ultimate global version of a Huawei phone running android , owned one up until recently when my uncle needed a new phone and loved the phone every step of the way despite it not having google, fixed almost all the issues and refined the mate 30 pro sooo much and kept all the good stuff from the 30 pro, it also has official unresitrcted 5g support even in the USA

LG, HTC, Moto, Samsung - Original 'Smartphone' innovators Huawei continued this tradition and fast paced it. Apple - let's steal all these things and call it our revolutionary features in iPhone 🤣

I got this phone during the pandemic. The camera was not the best but it was crazy consistent and I liked the image processing that Huawei did. It wasn't too saturated or too sharp, it was perfectly balanced. This phone is a beast.

Recently got the oneplus 12 and I honestly don't like the low light performance. I think fans complained that night modes have been making pics too bright so OP turned it down, but it's too dark now. I have a gcam configuration that was for the poco f3 (when I copied files over from the poco to the oneplus that gcam app carried over too) and yet the night sight on that is just objectively better than the stock cam night mode.
