Yes, bring on P40 PRO. For Huawei, it is 'knees on the neck'. The 'other side' always want to suppress them.

First off, if you care about security Huawei is out, they have so many security issues, apps that phone home and lets not forget all the widespread history of them hacking companies to get ahead.

Honestly, any company is better than them, good product or not.

Selling like hot cakes
That number is mostly within China, where Samsung is not even actively present (Samsung already closed down their Chinese factory).

Considering the market size of China, you can be number one even if you are only selling in China.

Plus their all brainwashed into supporting their own brands, besides apple.
Not surprised -- I mean the phones dont even have google or droid services which alone ruins any device worth your time.

I got hold of Huawei latest p40 pro 5G and know how good they are. The taste of pudding is in the mouth. In this internet age there is google. Those who live in the MAGA era or cave age, live on.
What the hell does that even mean.

I asked a simple question that required a simple answer. For your opinion on how Huawei are too far ahead. But instead you talk in riddles and bring politics into it.

Fact of the matter is too far ahead of competitors. Period.
I too would like to know in what ways Huawei is too far ahead as well!

I do not make a living on phone reviews. I buy phones in my opinions that are considered good to me. This is as clear as mud.

For too long the Huawei products have been treated as dangerous weapon and 'despicable' product. It is you cannot beat and ban them might as well join them

I actually like Huawei phones. Loved the P30 Pro. But it's nice to know that people take innocent questions so personally and can't even explain why they like one thing over another. Takes away all credibility from the point (if you can figure out a point) they're trying to make.

Far too far ahead is a stretch, but I've just swopped a galaxy for a huawei and it's just an overall nicer experience in almost every way, and the matching gt2 watch is light years ahead of the gear s2 I had... Just MHO of course...
I really liked the Huawei phones I had in the past. Build quality and such was top notch.
Wasn't really an fan of the Android skin they use. But it might have evolved since then.

But as I have stated already I don't trust them as a company.

Take note when asked an opinion, this is how you reply. Not hard!

Been a Huawei user since the P20 Pro so I'm not very experienced with them.

But the P20 Pro was just such a performer, insane battery life, amazing quality photos and just an overall fast processor.

I went to a Note 9 shortly after and WOW, what an utter piece of crap. Gave it up real quick and got a P30 Pro.

The P40 unfortunately, does not have Google services, and that is a deal breaker for me. I have never tried Oppo or One Plus yet, and I'm waiting for the Iphone 12, the iphone 11 and XS is nice but 12mp camera... nah.

Youtube has plenty of videos showing installing Google service on P40, should be a breeze.
