Anonymous, 14 Jul 2026So about the same performance as the Snapdragon 7 gen 4, which can be found in much much cheap... moreBut fully optimized with the software. It is not everything about the clock speed of the CPU. Software and optimization makes the magic touch. See the Nothing phones

        When come to Huawei posts, the same salaried hsmear tag team will come out to smear.

        We love Huawei because we used it & are certain & confident of Huawei's quality, good system software & good battery life. I currently not using Huawei but will switch back when I decided to change. Even for earbuds, I bought a few pairs of other brands such as Samsung, Soundcore & etc after my 1stv2 pairs of Huawei Freebuds XXi.

        I don't loyal to any brands, I have used phones from Apple, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Xiaomi &vetc.

          It's time to put Harmony OS globally, I saw the difference and even Geekerwan mentions that the difference is day and night. Is brutal the change.

          Even EMUI feels old nowadays.

                  Nothing out of the ordinary in the photos: they are the kind of photos taken by almost 99% of today's phones, starting with the mid-range.

                      Can't wait to see how it compares with my Oppo Find X9 Ultra. Im very satisfied with this phone, i think it's going to be a challenge to find another who can beat this one on camera versatility.

                        what essential for pixel is not essential for all android market including huawei

                        so as i said all of those are essential for google pixel because mother google didnt want pixel user to have a pure android so they replace what essential for AOSP with their bloatware and remove the essential apps so after this equation the bloatware became essential because there is no any alternative and to complete their idea they force this conception to youtube hy*****ts to mislead the android comunity and say its the purest stock android experience (( yah in your dreams hy*****ts ))

                          "the color gradient effect that we have seen time and time again on phone back panels, also extends to the Pura 90s Pro Max's aluminum frame. We've certainly never seen something like this ourselves, so we are inclined to believe Huawei's industry-first claim"

                          Check oneplus 6 and 7 series.

                              the only problem is that some apps are bundled twice though.

To speak of EMUI, I do not think you can really uninstall AppGallery or HMSCore, or Huawei Account Services, as they are bundled inside the system. The are not happen to be removable, but cannot be (and maybe really not intended to be) removable. The best you may get is the same as other devices, pseudo-uninstall using ADB.

                                    These are Huawei's version of bundled services, maybe really not intended to be removed by user for a complete experience, it is reasonable, totally reasonable for any OEM or mobile service provider. I do not want to frame yet another deeply modified Android ROM as AOSP-lover-friendly. I also hope you can understand my point here.

                                        huawei is one of the companies that didnt toutch the essential apps of android and to complete the gaps in android they put their own apps to complete the remains which happens to be removable if you dont like them

                                        this story should be from the beginning is the story of google ... but apperently google kill all android essential apps and put their trash instead of them.... which happens to be locked and forced and unremovable

                                        thats why i love any company who add ....LISTEN
                                        I SAID ADD ....put million lines under ADD
                                        add their touchs to android

                                        so in the final

                                        EMUI = android + huawei software which happen to be removable

                                        while

                                        GOOGLE T***H SOFTWARE = MUTATED ANDROID + UNREMOVABLE T***HY BLOATWARE

                                        i hope you can understand my point here
