huawei lost everything, there is no point of having a huawei phone when you have no gms, no 5g, you have to use those shitty apps that huawei provides you, petal maps: everything is outdated for like a century, support for global users: is disappointing how they are not just giving us what we wanted, litterally emui 13 skipped 2 generations (P30 (the last model with GMS), P40)(which were really popular) while harmony os 3 is almost in all models

@@ClientSiders p50 pro user for 2 years here. Came with emui 12 out the box in feb 2022 and got emui 13 last summer I think. Security updates are also regular. Every month or two. Have not resorted to installing any google workarounds until now. No gbox and no gspace etc. Have been doing fine without those. The only thing that I can't use because of it is google meets for some work meetings but other than that it has not impacted my day to day and I do my meetings on my office pc anyways. Your milage may vary of course but for most users in europe it's still fine and you can always put gbox if needed.
Huawei always my favourite
I saw this on display in one shop here in Dubai. It looks and feels amazing.

If Google was not banned definitely without a doubt Huawei would have been the No 1 smart phones in the world, as they dominated back in the days when there were no restrictions from Google for 3 consecutive years 2014, 2015, 2016 Tey were No 1 in the world.

good review inform. wish see some panoramic comparison too . thanks . Its' a great designed phone . just ordered one
Does it have any Widevine certification (or, rather, does it work with HD content from Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc.)? And on which version of Android EMUI is based - is it still Android 10 or Huawei updated it?
Which app can you use for maps? Do you think the video recording it's better than an iPhone?
Will it work with my carrier T-Mobile bands? Can the apk play store app be downloaded?
now huawei just needs to launch harmonyOS internationally!!!
i like Huawei, because the signal capture is very good
Whats the max Resolution on Desktop Mode? and does it Support TMobile? I have the P30 Pro and i still use it everyday same with Desktop Mode but i need a Foldable maybe this will be the one i need better Desktop Mode Resolution tho then 1080p.
Looks beautiful!❤

We always talk about the gap between when the fold phones are folded, does it occur that the more the screen meets in the middle when folded, the more the crease will be visible on the screen, the curve between the screen in the samsung fold, puts little pressure on the screen when folded.
Watching this on my Huawei Mate 50 Pro without Google services. Not having Google spyware it's actually a good thing. And also a good thing for battery life and cheaper price is not having a 5G modem. 4G it's plenty for watching 4K videos. 5G would mean I have to spend a lot more on my network bills and drain the battery much quicker because 5G loses connection very often which means it would have to switch between antennas all the time. So 4G is cheaper to produce, cheaper for me to pay on phone bills, has better battery life, better coverage. 5G in Europe it's basically a scam or a useless feature at the very least for the next few years.

Well you might not get spied on by Google but in exchange Huawei/ the Chinese government do that for you xD
cant wait. Great device!
is the audio louder? better sound quality than Samsung fold 4???
Will they ever make rectangular inner display? Square one is unfit for most of the contents.
Huawei is amazing 😮
Do you have the p60 pro review yet?
💯 % worth it love it love it love it ❤Huawei mate
What about in app purchases?
Inclusion of expandable storage, IR BLASTER, video out is a slap in the face of all the other mfgs who robbed us of it. Bravo, Huawei! This makes it a true smart phone, compatible with the tech all around it. It's the way to go. I've used LG specifically because of this mature logic, including having the audio jack.
It looks really nice, hardware-wise. But... with no Google services, no 5G, and then pricing it a whopping 50% more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 (prices will be from eur 2200,- in the EU), this is going to be a very niche folding smartphone
I love always Huawei ❤
The OS Huawei uses seems more user friendly and capable, feature rich in daily usage, like how you can add apps to the swipe down menu and many others you've shown. I am not sure yet if you mean that the Harmony OS supports Android apk/apps natively, even though Google Play is absent. I can surely do without Google's awful software. For anyone that uses Windows devices this is second nature. I never miss anything Google when I'm on my Windows laptop or tablet.

Could you tell me what you think if I will wait for the samsung fold 5 to come or get the huawei mate x3 ?
Insane technology
Day by day I try finding new apps that can replace most of my google and apps that need google to function.. once it is complete I can definitely buy Huawei phone or any phone that doesn't have Google apps
im really surprise with the quality of this camera!!!!
I'm still using Huawei mate 20x I believe it's the last phone with Google services enabled. I struggle to see any competent phone in the market after this. 7.2 inch, non-foldable. I think my next move would be those fold devices, I'd prefer Huawei but without Google stuff it's hard, I will select Samsung galaxy z fold 5 maybe. Yet again the mate 20x is the best which there were mate 30x 40x 50x
I want to review the specifications of the honor magic 5 Pro phone
Being able to easily search for and install apps that are not on the store should be a feature for any phone tbh!
Did I somehow miss the pricing while watching or was it just not included?
This channel does a gr8 job wth phone reviews, I hope it can maintain this quality ovr time. Other channels get latest brands but somehow messup the reviews... I hv been subscribed for about a month btw.
Hey rumours of release of mate XS 3?
It has basically everything except google play services and a headphone jack. Hell, the Huawei still has removable storage. I wish I could use it here in the states.
This phone is beautiful if only it had one ui for software
This is a fordable design i can now buy
I would love to have an Androids one if not for the price. Hopefully it'll go down to 800usd.
Huawei would have crushed the market
good news~mate X5 is on sale.
I'm Huawei phone lover ❤
What were you doing in Sofia Bulgaria?
It's combination of Huawei phone and Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC?
As I don't need the GMS, this phone will replace my Fold 4. I had Huawei Mate 20 pro Porsche Design, P40 pro, P40 pro+, Mate 40 pro.
Better than Samsung's tall vertical screens for z5😊
December i will buy that phone😍
where can i buy one? im in the US
Although they're band from 5g modem and Google apps, they are doing quite well for themselves.

finnaly a real foldable phone
Had a P20 pro and absolutely loved that phone, to bad that don't use google service's and have 5g , They do make amazing products.
Cool intro
I just want to ask if there are banned it's mean all phones after the ban is only China release with Google apps or what. I'm confused where🤔
Review huwaie p60 series
I was able to side load Google but the phone in the USA since it's a 4G only it drops calls to 2G and it drops the calls, bad reception all around.
why you guys are not doing a Pixel Fold review?
I'm watching this on a smart tv and I must say, the photo and video capability of this phone is superb
You sounds like Sykkuno. Nice review btw :>
Watching this on my Huawei P9 😂
I owned fold 5, I think X3 is better than Samsung Z fold 5, my palm got digging mark due to Z fold is heavier than X3. the samsung case make the screen wobble on the table while I using it. I had to take out the standing compartment to stop the wobble. X3 have fully round edge which will be more comfortable on hand.
I still buy Huawei and flash stock android 🙂 on a mate 20x right about to buy this here if I like the review
Where are the time splits?
Long live for HUAWEI.
Huawei is excellence , best there is
Just writing to check if anybody might know the cons of getting a Huawei phone (without google)? I do understand that find my phone or google map could not work properly. I've also used the P40 Pro, also without google. I realised my notifications for eg. Whatsapp messages & facebook will not ring. And all the drop down notification will comes only when i enter that particular app.
So they basically outdid Samsung barely into their 2nd generation?! I think they're banned because they would run circles around all other smartphone manufacturers😂
