A phone with no access to Google Maps, YouTube or GMail? Good luck with that one.
I'm an iPhone guy but I wouldn't touch a phone which didn't have Google services on it. Google Maps in particular is simply in a league of its own. It's indispensable.So you can't live without Google?
I'm not sure what to think about that.
Well, I am, but won't say it.
Each to their own, I guess
Probably easy for me to say though, as none of those apps are any sort of priority for me.
I prefer Waze, fwiw, but I think that's Google owned too. Or at least they use Waze's mapping (if I'm right and I believe I am).
There's always an alternative and I use my car's Satnav.
Fwiw, I detest Apple more than Google, but I'm moving away from the subject.
Suffice to say, I'm all for competition and Huawei are big enough to provide it.
Importantly, at a better price![]()
You detest Apple? Blimey, they're a company which makes telephones, they're not Exxon you know.
Keep those counts coming!Make that two![]()
I would take Huawei ANY day over Apple.I don't get why people are critical of those who don't want devices that can't use Google apps. If I was paying £900 for a phone, I'd want access to all the apps as well. It doesn't mean I'm a slave to Google, I just happen to like their procucts/apps. Viewing YouTube on a phone browser isn't as good as on an app. Too many people harshly judge others based on their own preferences.
The fact is, Huawei won't sell anywhere as well in the West without full access to Google.
As for the phone itself, no doubt it's got some great hardware. A lot of people do upgrade their phones every year largely based on the camera, because its something you almost always have in your pocket.
I didn't see a mention in the review about how the larger camera sensor means it has a shallow depth of field and like the S20 Ultra, can struggle keeping everything in focus and sometimes blurs out too much (and I don't mean portrait mode). A few reviews out there have mentioned this.
I know lots of companies love getting hold of your data for their own gain. But of them all, Huawei would surely be the least trustworthy.
Can't see why. But that's a discussion for another thread.I would take Huawei ANY day over Apple.

If you seriously believe Apple is a fan of Trump you need to do some more reading. Apple is as West Coast liberal as its possible to be.It's ridiculous that we cannot have a phone that runs Google services because Donald Trump doesn't like the idea of an American company supporting a Chinese product. Yet, mysteriously, despite his anti-China rhetoric Apple are still manufacturing the bulk of their output there and import to the USA and worldwide without restrictions or any intervention from Trump. For, apparently, being in Trump's pocket it's another good reason for me not to buy an Apple device. Huawei make good products, I have a tablet which is faultless. They deserve better treatment.

I do not know anyone outside of YouTube tech reviewers who get every new phone goingpeople upgrade there fones year after year because of the camera specs?

Not sure what you mean? Watched the camera part of the video, but no mention of the out of focus parts of pics at certain times.With respect to the Galaxy S20 Ultra this maybe of interest:
