How do foreigners view Huawei mobile phones? An objective and fair evaluation may not be what you think.

A few years ago, Huawei was in its heyday and almost took over the smartphone world. The company has signed marketing contracts with Hollywood big names such as Henry Cavill, Scarlett Johansson and Gail Gordo, which is very promising to become the most important force in the global mobile phone market. By 20 19, Huawei has successfully surpassed Apple in global sales, and it is only a matter of time before it finally beats Samsung to become the best-selling smartphone supplier in the world.

But just like its rapid rise, Huawei's current predicament is equally striking. Many people don't quite understand what this is about, and whether Huawei's mobile phone is worth buying, or why it can't be bought abroad? In order to explain this problem, JC Torres, a senior editor of foreign media, conducted an in-depth study of Huawei mobile phones, and listed five advantages and five disadvantages of Huawei mobile phones, which can let more overseas users know about Huawei. Let's look at his point of view.

1. Huawei's mobile phone has extraordinary camera performance.

Huawei was not a leader in this mobile phone field at first, but Huawei mobile phones have always been regarded as a leader in the field of smart phone photography. This should start with the release of the 20 16 Huawei P9 model. It is also one of the earliest mobile phones with dual camera system (although HTC One M8 is earlier than 20 14 and LG Optimus 3D is earlier than 20 1 1, although it has been realized, it has not caused much waves in the market).

Since then, Huawei has continuously opened up new horizons in the field of smart phone cameras. The new mobile phone beats Apple and Samsung every year, although the two companies have been catching up for some time. According to Forbes, at least according to some benchmarks, the brand still has the best imaging camera on the market. The upcoming Huawei Mate 40 Pro, Huawei P50 and Huawei Mate 50 all represent the highest level of photography in the mobile phone industry.

2. Huawei's mobile phone is worth the money.

For a long time, China brand products have been regarded as cheap and of average quality, but smartphone manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OPPO and Huawei have changed this view by using their own products in the past few years. According to the South China Morning Post, Huawei, in particular, has always been at the top of the market ladder, and its mobile phones have also been labeled as "quality".

However, the price of Huawei's flagship mobile phone is not cheap at all, especially compared with similar mobile phones such as Yijia and Xiaomi. But it is really worth it. Before being sanctioned, Huawei's Kirin chip can keep pace with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon and Samsung Exynos. Huawei is not stingy with memory and batteries, and of course those excellent cameras. At the same price, Huawei's top flagship mobile phone can compete with the latest Samsung Galaxy and Apple iPhone, and even surpass them in taking pictures.

Huawei has many mobile phone models.

Huawei's top smartphones may be as expensive as Galaxy or iPhone, but these are not the only phones offered by the company. Huawei has a variety of models, which vary with different market levels and budgets. This does not include the products gloriously sold by its former subsidiary.

Of course, this is also a double-edged sword, and sometimes too many choices will make users feel at a loss. Fortunately, there are many excellent choices in each category, which will not confuse users too much, and these mobile phones can get more frequent and longer software updates than other mobile phones.

4. Huawei mobile phones dare to be different.

Huawei is a global technology giant, so there are many resources that can be used for creativity. Although there have been no push-curved mobile phones and modular mobile phones, some experiments have indeed been carried out, opening the door to possibilities.

For example, changing the design of a smart phone is risky, especially if the camera on the back of the phone is convex. From the cylinder to the big circle to the square, Huawei has promoted the development of some trends in smartphone design, although they did not last long. Of course, for mobile phone photography, innovation in imaging is a major event. Considering that Huawei does not have the resources or history like Samsung and Sony, its achievements in this respect are impressive.

Huawei's recent bold development represents the future foldable mobile phone. The "outie" design displayed by Huawei Mate X and Mate Xs is the biggest innovation. Now Huawei has released a Huawei P50 Pocket, which will make a unique rotation in the design of foldable flip cover, but its market recognition and sales volume remain to be seen.

5.EMUI has contributed to Android.

Huawei mobile phone manufacturers' customization on Android has been criticized. There is no doubt that Huawei is a member of Android Group, but its EMUI operating system is more than just a skin. For years, it has been adding value to Android in a way that Google may never allow access to its code base.

Huawei pointed out that EMUI has long allowed the installation of two independent instances of the same application, such as customizable theme, memory cleaner, battery optimizer, game performance mode and other functions, some of which have now become the main contents of other manufacturers' ROMs. Huawei has undoubtedly paved the way for these people, even if the situation is difficult.

Sometimes, Huawei may seem to be following the pace of Samsung, but it may also be the only company that dares to do so. For example, when connecting an external screen, it is still a rare ability to use the mobile phone as a desktop. At present, Huawei is still vigorously promoting the special connection between its mobile phone and notebook computer, which reflects some efforts of Samsung on Windows.

1.EMUI is not concise enough.

Alas, Huawei's conquest of the smart phone world has never been realized. Its predicament is not entirely due to the technical problems of its products.

EMUI is powerful and flexible, but its content is quite complicated. According to Tech Advisor, unlike Samsung today, Huawei has always insisted on having its own applications and pre-installing them. To some extent, it actually benefited when it had to give up Google-certified Android. But over the years, the experience of using EMUI on Huawei Android phones is by no means lightweight.

In the long run, all these changes in Android applications will really have an impact, especially in software updates. Huawei has never been the fastest or most consistent company when it comes to launching large and small Android updates, which can be partly attributed to the severe sanctions imposed by Huawei. Of course, it's almost meaningless to talk about this today, because Huawei has launched the HarmonyOS system, but it still faces great difficulties, that is, market expansion and technological progress.

2. Isolated ecosystems

Just like Samsung, Huawei also wants to build its own ecology to compete with Apple. This means building a complete ecosystem of equipment, software and services, which work closely together to exclude other companies and products. When it was rejected by American products such as Google, this dream actually became very far away, but it seems to apply to the company and its customers, at least to those who can use Huawei products.

Huawei's decision means that using Huawei's products may face the risk of being isolated by others. Although the technology is still close to the Android architecture, Huawei's new HarmonyOS system mainly runs independently, far away from Android products. Of course, nothing can stop users from buying Huawei products, but switching to their own mobile operating system makes it more difficult for these phones to connect with the rest of the world.

3. The usability is greatly affected.

As can be seen from Huawei's website, it is almost embarrassing to talk about the sales of Huawei's various models. In other words, not all Huawei mobile phones are available in the market. Affected by its output and sanctions, Huawei will not sell some of its high-end products in some markets, and will also cancel the sales of mid-range mobile phones in other markets.

It is true that Huawei's mobile phones have always been like this, but in the past two or three years, Huawei has added another hurdle to its road. As mentioned above, it no longer sells smartphones in country M, which makes it lose one of the biggest markets in the world. Although Xiaomi proved that it can be bigger without M country, Huawei was suddenly cut off from an important source of profit. In addition to restricting its hardware components and Google applications, Huawei's position in the global smartphone market has also been greatly affected.

For consumers outside China, this means that it is almost impossible to get in touch with Huawei's latest and best products. Even if you can get it, you will give up the idea of using it because you are worried about network compatibility. This means that users such as country M cannot use some of the best smartphone cameras on the market, although Huawei's leading edge may not last long.

This accusation has great influence.

Like any other giant company, Huawei has been criticized a lot, but so far, it is the first time to accuse its relationship with the government. This is not the first or only time it has been accused of unfair business practices, but Huawei has always insisted on its innocence.

Huawei has been accused of everything from espionage to industrial theft. It has never been convicted, at least not in the courts of country M. Nevertheless, the unresolved case hangs over the head like the sword of Damocles, which has brought great psychological influence to users.

5. Uncertainty in the future

So many things have happened these days that it is hard not to feel uneasy when trying to make long-term investment in its products. Yes, Huawei is striving to build a more stable and reliable product and service ecosystem, but at the same time, it is also fighting a tough battle in markets outside China, where people may already have their favorite smart home platforms or application stores, and it is not difficult to compete for the market.

Of course, you can just buy the latest Huawei P50 Pro, at least if you are not in M country, you can enjoy its photography charm alone. However, these days, consumers have become more critical and forward-looking, and no longer regard mobile phones as consumer goods that you change every two years or so. The American Consumer News and Business Channel pointed out that the smartphones people buy now need years of technical support and software updates, which usually takes longer. At present, Huawei can't provide this guarantee, especially in the case of uncertain life and death.

Huawei occupies a very important position in China, and its sales in the international market are also increasing, which shows that China is on the right path. Huawei's mobile phone has many functions, but there are also some outstanding places that users can't put it down. We look forward to Huawei getting out of trouble as soon as possible and providing users with better products.
