HUAWEI Mate50 Pro Review: Woah! It Runs GOOGLE APPS?!😮
Ғылым және технология
I've been using the HUAWEI Mate50 Pro for a month now and guess what, it runs REALLY WELL with GOOGLE APPS! Also, the 1% Low Battery Urgency Mode is a God send - with just 1%, you can have 2 hours standby or 12 mins call time. It's insane!

The best smartphone I ever used, mate 20 Pro until today still doing well, unlike some other brands..when the newer model launched, the older model would somehow have some software issues, logged, camera shots became worse etc....time to get this! Mate 20 Pro, I really abused it to the max using it to drive Uber, watched KZread until I slept,now using it for 2 years plus riding bike as food delivery under hot sun and thunder storm...it's really the best smartphone

I also love my Mate 20 Pro. I already use it since 4 years as my daily driver an I'm still happy. Just the software with ads sucks. I think it will do 2 more years till I have to upgrade

I am still using my Mate20 pro. I loved it so much that I haven't renewed my postpaid plan for 4 years and because it still has Google. Mine was also abused as I used it a lot when traveling. The only issue I have now are the power buttons, and volume rocker and the battery but the camera is good.

Had mine since January 2019 still going strong best phone I've ever had
I used to change my phone every year but all of that stopped 4 years ago when I bought a huawei mate 20X. the best phone I have ever had. November 2022 and I am not missing anything.
I really want to go back to huawei. My mate 10 was really impressive way back then. The loss of GMS is holding me back as well as 5G connectivity. If it weren't for the ban. I'd still be using huawei till now

ever since their kirin chips were affected for using ARM technology. Huawei can't make anything on their own. Even their harmonsy Os is a kernel of android linux. America can put an end to huawei if they stop android kernel open source access.

Thank You for letting us know about LightHouse App
Excellent Lim
I just bought mine today 😍
I'm still on my p20 pro. I have had it for about 7 years now and honestly it hadn't slowed down. Didn't factory reset either. The cameras have aged ok as well. Yesterday the phone fell and boom... Crack on the bottom right corner. Huawei would have probably topped Samsung today if it wasn't for this ban. It would had helped push the industry forward cause honestly Samsung is one of those mobile divisions that have become complacent.
wondering if you drop it onto a rough surface like a tar road also if the edge of the phone is getting the most impact, will the glass crack?
Funking amazing U missed the sattellight call or connection feature...
Awesome content keep it up as always bro
Completely unexpected but good to see this. Price is quite reasonable. Much more affordable than the Samsung flagships.
Not sure if Google search can be used as well? Or just Google apps like docs and maps.. 🤔
Another reason to buy Huawei again👊🏻
Love the orange color
Thanks , it was a good video,, I have always like Motorola devices, besides them.. I really like Huawei for their looks and color options.I really don't know if this will work in Canada with Google support as you mentioned its restricted country wise !
Hopefully in the future Xiaomi will create its own chipset and operating system for its smartphones and tablets.
Best smart pone ever mage 🧙♀️
I want it. Just for the Kunlun glass..I don't have to bother with casing and screen protector anymore..

Hi. Will it be easy to sync Google contact into the phone?
I tried out a unit, the cameras are very good.
Lighthouse is not available in my mate 40 pro?
Been using the Nova 3i since 2018... Immediately fell in love with Huawei... Hope dad will let me upgrade it for my birthday🥲
Nice review thanks, but how about the updates of Gapps? or there are still some apps, which they aren't on Huawei's AppGallery. For example my banking app is still not on AppGallery. So, how can i update it when it is not in AppGallery? Through 3rd party websites? For banking app? Is it safe?
How's the Google lighthouse usage after two months use?
Love it I'm still buying huawei products
Awesome mate finally there's a way to get google on Huawei 💞💯🇧🇿.How about play store?
First phone that you can really compare with DSLR cameras thanks to the f1.4 aperture. And man... The bokeh... 🤩😍
Did you try using Keep Notes (Google notes) and see if it can sync your old notes that are saved on your google acc?
Hi! Thanks for the video! Going back to huawei now. IOS sucks man. Too many restrictions. May I ask if the Google photos work? And waze app too. Thank you
How about notifications from apps like Flightradar24, Twitter, etc.? Doesn't work on my P40Pro
The lighthouse app is not showing in the Huawei app gallery, why? Can share a link or an apk link?
Supported in Malaysia, well that would've been helpful to know at the beginning of the video.

Hello.. What about the notifications? What about Google play Store?
Great stuff. Nice to see reviews of great phones like this that the US YT gang rarely touch upon. It is expensive in the UK, at £1200 and a tough buy bearing in mind the state of the world economy. But no arguing that it is up there with the best.
