Can we just appreciate the fact that this man always manages to get his hands on the rarest tech products on the internet 🤣
With almost 17 million subscribers and probably lots of money, I bet it must be quite easy for him
Huawei is so easy to get in Europe so probably it's so in UK
Also he has been in tech reviewing since the last 7 years so there is no way that he doesn't have connections still
Yes we appreciate it
Thats what having 16+ Million SUB's will do the Companies will did through old inventory too find like Xoami did for him and/or send him for free and usually too keep or else a Subscriber and/or his Production Crew will help him get a hold off!!!!
I Miss LG, HTC and the Real/Old Nokia (Like Lumia 1020 and a couple of others) as well as Propper/Old Motorla (Pre Lenovo!)!!!!
This is just the beginning. Just got their Pura 70 Ultra and it's a fucking beast. Best damn phone I have ever owned. Even though 5G doesn't work. Guess it doesn't have the compatible 5G band for Tmobile.
I have been using huawei for more than 7 years and I am so happy that I can't tell you. I have a P40 and at the same time I have a watch and a laptop, they work in full harmony and my phone has no google service, so my charge goes more. Plus, I don't get ridiculous notifications, but if I had google service, I would get tons of notifications.
I dropped the device from my hand on the stairs and when I picked it up, there was not even a scratch on my device, which surprised me a lot. I think huawei produces the best devices of recent times.
I totally agree. 👍
And yet you're in TH-cam which is a Google product
@@nerovanguard846 You are very right, that's what we are saying, it performs much better than the phone with normal google services.
Most applications are already written by google.
What I advocate is a smooth operating system and a better charging time than the phone with google services.
@@nerovanguard846 so? using TH-cam or another Google product is not the same as pre installed Google services package.
And crazy enough they didn't need google to get here @@nerovanguard846
These products were way better than I expected, considering they were banned almost 5 years back. Thanks for showing this Arun and team!
They’re not. They’re super buggy jankey crapes tokd by actual Chinese reviewers , he’s being paid by the Chinese to say this

The phones are a joke. One has a "triple dot setup" uglier than the iPhone island no one asked for. While the rear of the other looks like Staurt the Minion.

Got my p30 5 years ago. Still working flawless. Happy it's not banned in Croatia. Thank you for honest reviews ❤
Unlikely as it was launched by mid 2019 but close enough. My P20 Pro though does function flawlessly since Sept 2018!
Yeah miy holly 3 also works flawlessly since june 2018
@@georgemavrides3434writing this on my P20 pro :D I've had it for so long my plastic case received with the phone is completely coming apart and now I need to get a new one. I was thinking getting a new phone just because of the camera, but the phone works so good I don't even want to go through the hassle :D and I will miss Huawei truly, this is my third huawei phone and I liked them all... unfortunately not having the app store is a deal breaker for me 😢
My P30 is like 4 years old, still performing better than the Ibroke 15 pro max. The camera quality is insanely good
Same in Serbia I love all the different phones they have...so many choices.
Holy I've been thinking about getting a new phone and recently found your channel and MAN you make such entertaining, well thought out and clearly presented conted with peak humour. Cudos to you sir!
I've got a P30, had it years and still love it, had an iPhone and always wanted to get this fixed, now I have I remember why I missed this phone so much, honestly I couldn't even imagine how good the P60 and later must be.
Can't wait for the Huawei Pura 70 👀
I don't understand how you can just make a 20+ minute video feel like a 5-min one. Incredible!

he's not youre just upset you can't make a youtube channel like him@@Retronyx
because fast cut and entertaining content made the video feel so much shorter
the ban for Huawei was to slow down the development of Chinese mobile tech, but it did the opposite lol. It kinda just boosted the process because now companies like Huawei have no choice but to spend more resources to create their own chips and systems.
It actually benefits humanity as a whole, now China went from chip consumer to competitor.
In the future we will get affordable gpu and other tech device.
@@poring8886Here's hoping! 🙏
Funny how the US banned Huawei, when OnePlus and TCL phones sell relatively well here in the US lmao. The justification was that Huawei was a "state owned" corporation, but literally every single company in China is beholden to the government regardless because of how their market functions.
LoL, still living with Lies 😂😂😂

I like that you update people on huawei also. I think they deserve to be talked about as much as samsung or iPhone. It's very exciting to see what they present for every release 👏🏽👏🏽

I think you forgot to mention that the Mate60 Pro can make satellite VOICE calls which neither Apple or Samsung phones can achieve at the moment.
He forgot it 😿
this feature is only available with China Telecom SIM
Well, Apple can do that but it charges you a crazy amount to do so
@@valkeitosiPhone can do satellite emergency texting only, not voice calling! Mate 60 pro can make two-way real-time satellite calls. Monthly, first three minutes are free. Beyond that, roughly $13 for 80 minutes, by the minutes.

still rocking my Mate 20 RS Porsche Design since 2018 and got a new display over the insurance a couple weeks ago. The phone is from 2018 still has 83 % of the battery runs on 8,0 GB RAM Huawei Kirin 980 and a 3120 x 1440 4k OLED Display and of course its beautiful and still runs all the google apps. BEST PHONE I HAD SO FAR
I loved my Huawei Mate 20 Pro it hyped me way more the S10+ those days. I'm sure the reason why Samsung began using 3x and 10x optical zoom is thanks to Huawei using 3x and 5x when most companies just compromised with 2x zoom.
Yessirrrrrr
im literally using a mate 20 pro rn, fantastic phone
I also use a Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Holy cow, It is actually outperforming some of my Family Member's Younger Phones that should be better but are worst than my Mate 20
Mate 20 was my first HUAWEI phone and it was amazing. If it wasn’t for the sanctions, HUAWEI would have been the best selling brand. That is why it’s sanctioned…
I still have my Mate 10 Pro, the best phone I've ever bought.
OMG all these years as I was scavenging here and there for the slightest information about Huawei products, I thought you guys had completely abandoned reviewing them. Which was depressing and frustrating. Huawei aren't dead.
Lol USA banned, 331 million population. 60% of human world population in Asia. USA is such a tiny part. Huawei can survive just by selling in Asia.
In west theyre dead
@@KimYoungUn69 not really, in usa yes, but here in norway they still exist, its just that they used to have their own section in the electronic store, now they are just in the corner
I haven’t seen any Huawei products in Australia at all since the bans
@@KimYoungUn69 it really isnt all that bad. Unless you really need android auto there isnt anything the phone cant do. Also you get security patches every month which still puts to shame quite a lot of phone makers.
Switched to GT4 few months ago from GT(1), there was no particular reason, maybe the free FreeBuds. The old one was still in perfect condition with battery performant almost as new, still lasting up to 2 weeks with pulse/blood monitoring enabled. The battery life is the best feature, everyone loves that.
This is one the most comprehensive, interesting, honest review ever. Probably one of your best videos ever. Super interesting and outside of mainstream crap.
Huawei is no joke man , only ppl who used their products before the ban can understand what a great products and technology they have !
As long as China remains a threat to the US in any capacity so shall Huawei.
All cloned from American tech
@@CaptainMcShotgun41 maybe in the shape yes, all tech companies inspired by apple but in terms of technology and smart features , screen , ect, the chinese giant is way advanced .
@@anothernerd4141sure, whatever lets you be deluded
Yep, they got banned for good reason: fear of overwhelming competition. Huawei was about to become number 1 world-wide and establish solid foothold on american soil. All USA companies lobbied against it, so it happened oh-so-illegally, pressuring TSMC oh-so-illegally into submission. Classic USA shenanigans. The fear is still real though: China might pull it off in the end with in-house products. That recycled 2016 tech spurting out a 2023 flagship is mind-boggling!
P.S. Do ignore that @CaptainMcShotgun41, it's an obvious troll account.
I went to an ICT expo in Sri Lanka here today. Guess what, Huawei is one of the prime sponsors. Most of the stalls have Huawei or Honor phones in them. Kudos for them to bouncing back.
yeah im sri lankan too and one of the famous brands in sri lanka is huawei

Incredible amount of technology that is fitted in a device with such a small footprint. I recall when the first color Gameboy from Nintendo was first brought to market. I remember when they claimed that that device had more processing capacity than the entire data bank used to send the Apollo crew to the moon. That blew my mind all together. I'm 60 years of age and a veteran of the United States Marine Corp. I am a tech nerd to the core. I'm been homeless for a few years. I struggle with PTSD and life has not been easy for me. But I recently secured housing through a program out here in San Diego, CA. I'm incredibly grateful for this second shot in life. I'm a huge fan of your blog. Keep up the great work. Stay strong.
One love always. From your number one fan.
In all fairness, the Mate pad paper matte was designed to be used as an e-book reader, thus the matte screen and average chip, the new Matepad Pro 13.2, on the other hand is a total BEAST...wish you could get your hands on one asap.
Also it illegal to not use mpen with PaperMatte. Cause that was the particular reason for that limited edition. The paper also make the tab not disrupted by the light in the room. Unfortunately I couldn't get my hands on it and change to normal one.
Hey guys, are you from China?
@@AyushGupta-wn6zd No, we are not. But Huawei is available in many countries. Probably except the US.
@@AyushGupta-wn6zdNo, we can buy Huawei in Singapore. Time to get a passport and look around
It’s not MatePad Paper, which is a e-book reader with the best in class chip and OS, as well as the worst e-ink display. The matte finish of plain MatePad is purely for handwriting.
Massive props to Huawei. Always been a fan of their creative and innovative choices and unlike some other top brands they are actually doing something unique. I say we let them work and grow, they might prove to be even bigger competitors than they were before. And god forbid the Apple Sanctions are lifted off, they'll legit shake the tech world.
Creative and innovative choices? Bro their OS's are a 1:1 rip of of apple design. lol. It's easy to make things cheap when the IP is stolen.

I bought the Huawei GT3 pro as I was so disappointed in how poor the Galaxy watches batteries were. The GT3 pro is an absolute game changer, sometimes going nearly 12 days before needing a charge. I've recommended it to 4 people already and they all prefer it to their previous Galaxy watch (or Apple watch for one of them).
Still using Huawei GT2 since 2019. Still working well. :)
@@miketay9853 too
My first Huawei phone was the P20, the P40 Pro plus, then now, bought the P60 Pro when it was released here in the Philippines. What I love about the Huawei P series is the camera because I am a photographer. Superb! Nothing can beat it! Bought the Huawei Laptop also to pair it with my Huawei phone. Was given a Huawei Watch and weighing scale when I bought the P60 Pro. Love Huawei!
Huawei has unparalleled cameras. I'm still using my Mate 40 Pro and its still a super powerful chip with over 900k points on Antutu and it shows in real life. Arun said it himself that it was a beast of a chip. No plans switching especially now that they now have 5.

@@Tigolian The P30 Pro is amazing, I have it since almost 4 years and the Kirin 980 continues being a beast in 2023. If I upgrade my phone in 2024, it will be obviously a P60 Pro or Mate 60 Pro!
Very cool video! My one nitpick would be when you said about the tablet that "it doesn't feel as good as Samsung or Apple's top-end tablets". I feel you should have clarified that Huawei does have the MatePad Pro 13.2 which is top-end and therefore competes with other top-end offerings. Not really fair to the Papermatte to use that sentence to compare it to the top-ends.
Totally agree, whoever touched a MatePad Pro 13.2, there is no return, it is just that GOOD!
he also forgot to mentioned about the PC like productivity.
He also forget to mention the newest nearlink tech. Which make their wireless earbug the best product in term of sound quality right now and nearlink support other device too like the mate pencil
@@nagi-springfield93 and the nearlink speed is 6 times of BT
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but they just decide to simply ignore them. I mean, even when they review products from other companies, there are plenty of instances where they should've addressed Huawei, but they don't, as if Huawei never existed, just like here with their pro version of tablets. Even when the Mate 60 Pro was released with a new chip, not a single mainstream techie covered it.
How you're able to blend in your ads is just amazing.
Glad to see they're still innovating!!
That "glass" on the Huawei phone is a game changer! You could put the entire screen protector and screen repair indistries out of business if that was installed on iPhones. Clearly not acceptable to Apple's planed obsolescence team.
No matter how good a product is, it loses its appeal when you discover that it is being used for surveillance on behalf of the Chinese government. Nevertheless, some TH-camrs continue to make efforts to promote the product in the guise of testing it, lol.

love the tip-toe around saying the cameras are always on and paying attention to you
The P30 was my favourite phone back then. Ahead of its time and very good value. Outstanding, I didn't see any phone like that since then. Everything has problems, is overprized or doesn't have the newest tech
P30 pro is also my last phone before P60 pro. There is not much new despite the gap between the two phones. Nonetheless, i must say that the P60 pro is the camera upgrade i never knew i needed.
Overprized products should be more rewarding.
Watching this on my p30. After several years the phone still perform well.
The P30 is my one and only Huawei phone and one big reason I bought it was because of the fantastic blue color finish, which was way more exciting than the usual boring black, white, and gray looks. Even though software updates have stopped, I still keep and use it from time to time, as well as updating the apps when needed. And the camera was, and still is, takes amazing photos! I loved using the macro feature
No new phone battery these days comes even close to p30

Huawei phones were my go-to before the ban. I had the Huawei Mate 8 and later the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and those phones were amazing for the times. Like their cameras (which are the aspect I most care about) were just so good! However, I now own an Samsung S23 Ultra. I have no complaints, but I do feel like Huawei was just more fun in terms price and innovation. I truly wish we could see what they could do without the bans
Same here... Huawei is my favorite brand... I had the p9 lite... Then nova3i... Followed by y7p then y90 now honor 90 lite
they would have had the ARM inside their laptops... just like Apple has
I stuck with Huawei and have the P40 Pro. Despite being 4 years old, most times people still prefer my pics to those of their S22 and S23 ultras. Huawei was way ahead of everyone and the US couldn't stand it.
my wife been using P30pro since new and now she ordered Mate60pro+ @ Aust just waiting to pick up
I still use Huawei phones now but them I'm in the UK, where we can still buy them for personal use.
The ban backfired spectacularly and I am happy about it
I have dropped my P60 pro countless times from frightening on the most horrendous surfaces and there is not a single scratch on the screen. It is still good as new.

This is the real reason why the west banned them. They would ban everything from china if they could. They are truly terrified of china. They are developing so fast and it's a threat to the west's dominance of the world.
haha. Tech is still slowly advancing. It's just that Huawei's tech isn't in the states to put pressure on companies like Apple/Google etc.
Ironically, it seems (from what I've seen in this video) that the ban might have done more unintentional good than harm. Looks as though the ban forced some innovation within Hauwei. Who knows, they might be able to compete with U.S. products soon.

Thats just in the US, here in the middle east they're growing fast, especially with people finding out the west is our direct enemy and boycotting them. Huawei is cheap, efficient and can be fast and luxurious if shell out some more. The US and the west didn't want their monopoly challenged, so this is the result.

Just retired my Huawei mate 10 pro from 2017 a month ago, been rock solid but finally started to slow down
I love how the sponsor is at the end of the video, it really makes it convenient and actually encourages me to support the brand when choosing a product.
I have the Freebuds 5 and I really love them. They fit really well on my ears.
I have fallen asleep with them and wake up the next morning with them still in, and I move a lot sleeping.
Also it has Bluetooth multipoint which allows it to connect to more than one device at the same time.
And has the LDAC codec which allows hi res audio, this is usually only present in very high end earphones.
Where did you buy it???
We need an pura 70 ultra review.That phone looks so cool!!
Yeah fr ❤
Is the freebuds Pro 3 one of the best options for me? if I am looking for noise canceling, sound quality and loudness... I also want those sitting with me not to hear the sound I play.
And I don't care about the mic and calls
I had a Huawei P30 for 3 years and loved it! I bought it for 500 Euro and after 3 years sold it for 300. My next phone was a Galaxy S21 and while I liked it I did not really feel it as a step up like I would expect. If the ban had not happened I would most likely be using a Mate series device now.
The seamless connectivity between the devices, plus the fact that they have their own OS system is pretty cool actually…I totally forgot about the Huawei brand years ago😮💨

I live in Kenya and need to maintain some network stuff. There is no brand or anything on the various routers or switchers I work with, but when I log in, I constantly see Huawei splash screens.

I have had a GT2 watch now for 4 years and it is still great. I know the newer ones have better tach, but after 4 years, the battery life is still 12-14 days. and does all i need it to do and looks good. and works fine with my android phone
correction, i hav a gt. first gen one and still greay
I love how you always make your videos to help people who want to upgrade their tech and why they should get it or not. Your channel has really helped me progress my learning about tech so I could help my family too. Thank you for always helping me in learning tech and new things hopefully I can meet you in irl
We need more tech TH-camrs like you. As a tech enthusiast, I will always appreciate it when tech TH-camrs would actually support these brands, Brands like Huawei, Motorola, Sony andwhat's left of Nokia and HTC, they need all the support we can offer them, I still miss those amazing brands like LG, Palm, Blackberry, OG Nokia, HTC's Sense days, I just can't have more of other brands being pushed out by either U.S, other brands or some tech youtubers
P.S. commenting from S23U just clarify I'm not biased but a tech enthusiast

Yes. I agree.
No matter how good a product is, it loses its appeal when you discover that it is being used for surveillance on behalf of the Chinese government. Nevertheless, some TH-camrs continue to make efforts to promote the product in the guise of testing it, lol.

You did not mention the satellite telephone function, which was one of the major selling point!
My last huawei phone was the mate 20 pro. Honestly bought it since they where the first and only at the time with under screen fingerprint reader that i knew of (this was before the s10 launched)
And i gotta say, i miss that phone. It was a proper piece of tech that surpassed my expetations. a great camera system, amazing battery life, innovations that they dared to try before anyone else. It was amazing.
But sadly it got cracked after dropping it from my hands in the winter onto ice. and while it still worked after that for half a year. it slowly got more and more broken to the point of unusuable. Which then i bought a s10e and missed the huawei.
To be honest, i would have gotten a new huawei if it wasn't for the google ban. and even trough the years i've considered trying it again. But there has been recently rumors that the phone operators here in norway will block all new and old huawei devices from their cell network in the comming time which has made me stay away for the time being (aswell as daily driving a z fold 3 as we speak) but am hoping thats not the case since i know many ppl that still use huawei phones today (they are still being sold in store here)
Me too. I have mate 30 pro running on Harmony Os, bit some app still not running well even after installing G-Space. I really want to have Mate 60 Pro, but because there was No GMS, so I bought Galaxy S23 Ultra 😅
i agree, the mate 10/20 were such a beast & step up from other brands. the p20/30 /pro were good alternatives too tho especially for the price they offered. if u wanted a similiar brand with same performance & features u had to pay at least extra 200$ for it. (at least in my region)
I still have my mate 10 working like a charm! Bought it Jan 2018 and still excellent condition now Nov 2023! My daily phone now are Honor brand. So, yes. Still Huawei❤❤❤
Is it even technically possible to ban specific phone brands from cellular access?
@@IronMan-fi3xz i dont think so, only thing they can do is not supporting the bands the phone can use (somewhat only important if u buy chinese model phones and your country doesnt have the same bands that the rest of the world uses). iirc, they could ban the Sim carrier (Vodafone for example) to access any cellular access, so u have to swap out a sim card only for a different brand.
I could be wrong, but never heard of a case like that, unless the Goverment changes their own phone bands that the actual phone doesnt support anymore
I'm so glad they brought back eyes on display. It was such a big and groundbreaking step up from the AOD and I loved it
Another P30Pro owner here - had it since 2019 (almost 5 years!) phone still going strong.
me too, for me mate 30
My friend has that and it still looks good as new
Still rocking with my Mate 20 Pro since the day it came out 🔥
Thanks for the review. I bought the P60 Pro in South Africa. I must admit there are small things I miss, like the Google assistant. Celia from Huawei is useless, but for the rest is good. The battery is a bit of a let down, but it charges very fast. I got a great deal I couldn't refuse. I got it on a 24 month contract with the earbuds and GT3 Watch "free". Not too bad at all. I think Huawei might even overtake Google in a few years from now.
Huawei's hardware is already better than Google. It's just the software part, which Google has been playing this game for too many years.
@@zy3859 I agree, in terms of new features, I can't see the other major brands bring something new to the table. Huawei has done a great job. Just two things I want to improve and that is the assistant Celia, she needs big work to recognise our western accent - I'm in South Africa and I tell you 99% of the time she gets my intructions wrong. Like in totally wrong. Then there is Petal Maps. I loooove it more than Google maps, but many times it gets the routing. I use traffic ON, because I travel 100km day to work and back and sometimes the routing is not that good, BUT there was times, though not many, that Petal Maps did a better job than Google Maps. I run both of them simultaneously to compare and learn. I hope that one day I can ditch Google Maps. Thid month I'll be using Petal Maps for a year.
Totally agree with you, Huawei rocks! Have 2 laptops P40 Pro with HarmonyOs, FreeBuds matepad, Watch gt3 pro etc, love it and really glad no Google is in it, but still somewhat annoying for developers making their apps force close if GMS is gone, but everything else is really amazing...
The bans are because the Western govts are terrified of being overtaken in tech. Govt regulators hide behind fake Chinese spying threats and IP theft claims (which doesn't even make sense since Huawei is beyond Western tech) in order to squash potential competition from the big bad scary commies. It's truly pathetic if you think about it. They shouldn't have decimated their industrial base and dumbed down their educational systems. Then they could have a chance at competing rather than sabotaging.
Samsung is just so far behind chinese phone marker in hardware level
Huawei has very good phones. I remember my mom had some $300 mid-range Huawei phone and its camera was so freaking good. It even had features like long exposures back in 2015.
Huawei phones are really dynamic. I literally destroyed my P30 lite playing so many high quality games, 7000 photos and videos, fell of my hand so many times and still after 4 years it behaves like I have been using it for about a year. So Great. Definitely buying P70 pro when it releases
my huawei is like £70 and 7 years old but it still has a decent camera and 8s exposure photo
Bro I had a 250€ Huawei P8 Lite and that Phone hold out 4 Years without Lagging or other dumb stuff. Yeah I needed to change the Back 3 Times because I broke the Glass Part which had the Camera under it but man did that Phone hold up
@@Rio_3505and what? It just stolen tech anyway
Was this in Europe or United States?
I have Mate 20 Pro (last one with google apps) with Kirin chip, still works and kicks ass 😅Fun fact is that its a pretty old smartphone and its still getting updates which makes it faster, not slower (I mean not android updates but EMUI and fix updates). Good job Huaweii
Beautiful review, now I know what phone to get.
forgot to mention THE WORLD-FIRST satellite calling funtion on the mate60 pro.

So this is why USA is stuck with low tech garbage such as Iphone Pixels and Galaxy? Lol.
I bought the matebook x pro. First one came in not working, second one broke down after a month. Then I got a free replacement and this one worked splendid. It broke down after 6 months because it fell from a low height. Best 2000 euros i ever spend!
In my office with multiple different brands of laptops such as dell, surface, lenovo, hp - the huawei ones comes up top in terms of quality and durability
I love features like at 15:14, when there is physics applied to everything and the whole UI is reactive. Every move has a ripple effect on everything around it. Great attention to detail, Mrwhosetheboss

It's a shame that Huawei was banned back then. But this only made Huawei more determined to create some amazing techs. Hopefully we can see Huawei competing with other brands that has Android
Huawei was banned, because it became the largest phone manufacturer in the world(they've overcome samsung...).
In Europe it started attracting iPhone users and the US did that to protect Apple. (I was one of the ones who switched from Apple to Huawei and was much more satisfied, to be honest). Even my boss bought a Mate Laptop and was really satisfied for two years with it.
I had the Mate20 Pro ~5 years ago... that smartphone was/ is amazing. After two years I gave it to my mother and she still uses it to work from it.
The battery replacement with original one in the official service store here costed us like 5$(every friday all service procedures were 50% discounted and they had additional 50% discount of the battery price) and they ensure that all new seals are properly installed and the water resistance is preserved during the replacement procedure. They even give you a free coffee, while you're waiting there. It took them ~1 hour for the replacement.
They even put a screen protection folio for free... Lol!
The don’t create anything, they just steal what others create
@@vyrgozunqkyeah... The blonde guy wanted to defend Apple, even if Apple products are 90% from other countries (manifactured, lots of components from Corea/China, etc.).
Still today i hear friends with Honor products and they say the quality is there.
the only thing I get from my Huawei phone these days are messages about google chrome being a virus 😉😂
they were banned for a reason
Loved my P30 and if it wasnt for the ban Id maybe still be with them ...the cameras... even my s22 currently isnt as good..especially night mode
Would be interesting to test scratch resistance which is quite different from impact resistance.
Got a P30 over 4 years ago, loved it, but didn't realize how good it was until I got an Samsung phone. Glad to see I wasn't just crazy and they make a lot of high quality products.
LMAO so true
Still using my Mate 20 Pro, still keeps a charge for best part of 2 days. Going to be a sad day when I have to replace it!
I'm using HUAWEI p30 too, the only problem is the bateria after 5years... I'd to replace it
huawei makes good quality products! it's only the politics that tarnish their name!! overall it's good.
@@enchongliu4339 ew Bacteria? you're growing a Bacteria in your phone for 5 years?
These are still officially available here in the Philippines and it's not as unusable as I thought at first. I'm definitely keeping an eye on Huawei phones and hopefully, they're not keeping an eye on me too hahaha
They're not keeping an eye on you an more than an Android phone. iPhone might be a little more secure, since they don't use Google services, but what difference does it really make
@@farish.515serpentza has made a video about Huawei, check it, android do it significantly less tbh

i've been using a p20 pro for the last 6 years, still works flawlessly. no lagging, no overheating, no problems at all
no it scam me 😐
That ad insertion was slick!
As a P60 PRO owner, I have no complaints. There are some apps that I cannot use that I have made accounts by logging in with google, and I also couldnt get my galaxy watch 4 classic to pair up in the app with my phone, but that only led me to discover how amazing their smartwatches are. I am getting 5 days of battery with constant vitals monitoring and 24/7 always on display. The only thing I miss from my watch 4 is the ability to do contactless payments but I can just as easily pull out my physical card.
Yeah that no contactless payments aren't available is a bummer. Considering that the hardware is on the phone makes me wanna cry. 😢😢😢
Still got a gt 2 pro watch. Made so well, and it's been battered at work, incredible battery still 😎
Order an additional contactless card, cut out the chip and stick it to the bottom of the watch.
@@bbekiarisuse curve and Huawei wallet for payment
Just stumbled across your videos the other day. I am not even interested in tech... yet I sat through a Huawei video and loved it. Absolute masterclass in presentation and editing
"I'm Here!" Gives off the same vibes as "Tha Bruetooth Devyce Has a Connecterd a Successfurry".
it's incredible how apple can convince people to buy their way more expensive products while doing the bare minimum on their part, that never cease to amaze me, never.
Apple are for broke people 2024 and people still buys iPhone 11 64gb and refurbished 😂😂
It's very cool to see what Huawei have been up to, since no one talks about them anymore. I assumed they weren't doing very well and was amazed to find out they are still making good products
They are doing very well, outside of US
@@liu3gzNope they dont. Here in Europe they have a minimal marketshare.
that's the difference between chinese and western companies..... if this kind of sanction happens to a western company, they'd just fire everyone except the executives... but huawei kept their R&D and kept creating new products and patents so even after a few years, we don't see their products are behind but actually more advanced than their competitors
@@liu3gz huawei failed in chinazi too. Only chinazi males use huawei
They steal a lot of technologies, that how they are still alive.
I feel like its also worth mentioning their laptops. I have the Matebook D14, and it honestly feels so premium for what i got it for. The software on top of windows is amazing (the AI search particularly, its so fast) and even though i dont have a huawei phone, i can tell it would pair greatly with one.
I have the Matebook D15 and have done for about 2 years now. It hasn't missed a beat and is still as fast as the day I set it up! I haven't yet felt the need to change it, the only quibble I have with it is the battery life, its poor compared with other laptops but even then it isn't the deal breaker for me as I am usually near to a power outlet if needed. When I do need a new laptop I am inclined towards another Matebook!
As long as you don’t care about China having access to all your data.
@@cycletricity Exactly. People tend to dismiss huawei due to their chinese background. But the thing is, especially with laptops, its mainly the specs that matter. But hauwei doesnt care they still gave a premium experience for the cost. Personally, my battery experience has been phenomenal (i assume because i have the ryzen variant, running the AMD Ryzen Balanced power plan).... Snappy, fast, and battery efficient (i usually get around 6-7 hours of continuous use if I'm just doing word documents, watching videos etc.)
However, if i were to go for a more expensive laptop without the thought of value or cost, I wouldn't choose a matebook. There are better options available but those are all higher cost as well and less bang for the buck. Matebooks have the best value from what ive seen.
I have the d15, a Huawei earbuds, and a Huawei smartphone. It feels so premium than my MacBook. It feels like I was in a very corporate setting with all of the seamless connection functionality. The laptop itself is great for gaming even for mid to heavy games. I never regretted buying my Huawei gadgets, I am currently eyeing the smartwatch.
In conclusion, the most seamless ecosystem and underrated brand ever in the technological era. People need to look past the Chinese background and actually look at what the US is doing. They never wanted to have a Chinese competitor to be as successful as the ones based on the US.
Samsung had the scanning for user eyes to turn on and off the screen as early as the S3, then somehow it disappeared. Glad to see someone brought it back.
I have the Huawei smartwatch , I like the sleep tracking where you don't have to set it before you go to sleep but the O2 sensor are not accurate compared to my apple watch
Oh my God, this video got me emotional af. Started off with those Honor series phones, went over to P series, stuck to it until P20 Pro, had 2 of those, used them for as long as I physically could, and I still haven't found anything that could perform at the same level at a similar price point. On a S20 FE right now and I feel like there are no affordable options that actually offer that same bang for buck feeling as Huawei phones were synonymous with. Not keen on pouring fuel onto the conspiracy theory fire, but all of my Huawei phones felt SO complete as devices, and their sales were really starting to get into some serious numbers - and would You look at that, the cradle of Apple Inc. makes it bend the knee and go back to technological stone age.
I was looking at that super functionality and I swear to God, I almost started crying cause that's the EXACT functionality across devices You'd expect to get from Windows devices, considering their popularity, number of users and the R&D budget that Microsoft has at its disposal.
I'm just afraid of the fact that if I go back to Huawei somehow, I'll get stuck with limited functionality related to e-banking and crucial apps for productivity and full functionality of the devices (forget social media, you can always access the webpage and Bob's your uncle).
Thank You for keeping us up to speed with these devices.
this! i agree! huawei devices offer so much more for your money. their Middle range devices give you the premium experience and functionality that only other brands' higher end devices can offer
I really liked how he build the ad round the part which most of the people were waiting for to watch.... brilliant
So smart
