Huawei P30 Pro can unlock your car, charges the fastest, and seemingly takes the best pics of any phone. It’s bonkers innovative.
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
Eh compared to the other cameras, you still have much more real detail
That periscope arrangement has been done before... by Asus, of all people. And it was an actual zoom, as in having a variable focal length. AFAIK this Huawei is not a zoom, it's a fixed focal length tele.
China is waging a trade war with Canada over this company and people have the stones to say the Chinese Government isn't active at this company.
As a Canadian the remote start is amazing. It also gives quick diagnostics of what's going on with it.
This phone along with their foldable phone is leagues above anything else out there and that makes people salty. They have nothing so they have to resort to fear mongering
I just couldn/t imagine wanting so much of everything in one place....
I don't think anyone has said that. What people have said, and rightly so, is that it is ironic, hypocritical even, to avoid Huawei because they may give your info to the Chinese government, when they already probably use many services that do exactly the same, but for the American government.
You are already being spied on. By China and by the US both. Not buying a Huawei phone will do little to change that.
Yeah man China is not known for stealing American data at all.
Yeah, we should all support a company that has been charged with and even caught in the act of corporate espionage on multiple occasions. Regardless of the spying accusations, the fact that their own executives don't even use Huawei phones should tell you something.
Still rather get spied on by US than Chinese government at this point.
Yeah, I am sure companies other than Huawei are pure as white. And to be honest I don't see why it is a problem that employees of a company do not use their own products. Google executives use MacBooks quite much; Lenovo managers use iPhone all the time - executives have preferences too you know.
Pointless preference, because the practical effects to you, a random individual (not an important government official or business person), are exactly the same one way or another. To prefer the US over China on this matter in my experience often comes from simple nationalism.
Umm, she is the daughter of the FOUNDER of Huawei - not just some executive who leaves and joins new companies every few years.
And you may not care about corporate espionage but I refuse to support any company that takes part in state-sponsored cyber attacks to steal IP and undercut prices to indrectly bankrupt companies like Nortel (even if they had their own problems).

@ people saying it's fear mongering over China: People made a huge stink over the US spying on them. So it's not unusual to be even more alarmed at an authoritarian state's attempt at doing the same. China is actively being very malicious with the use and control of personal information of their own citizens. Ethnic genocide, kidnapping and torture of political dissidents, forced organ donations, nationwide censorship and firewalls to control all information, and social credit systems -- I'd be afraid.

Chinese government slightly more shady with their human rights record, spying, hacking and internet censorship. Should I let Russian hackers get my info too since the US government spies on me?
Yikes. I've just checked out DxO camera review. Huawei must have paid for this.
Only thing that looks good is 5x zoom. Just look at this picture which seemingly has excelent bookeh, lol.
Huawei's portrait mode looks astonishingly bad in comparison to S10+ and XS Max

I mean I would be too if I was chinese citizen but I am not. I don't see what they could do with the data of person living oceans away from them and being citizen of completely different country. On the other hand your own government spying on you would more likely use that data against you.
It is fear mongering especially by fanatically American Samsung and Apple Stans the rest of the world has no problem with Huawei phones. Enjoy your inferior cameras and paranoia guys!

I never liked the overprocessed details in Huawei phone cameras even though they score high on DxOMark. So I'll go with Xiaomi again. No thanks.
Honest question: Is it really any worse than the data mining that all Android devices currently do?
What do you people think that Google, Facebook, etc are doing with your data now?
No iphone for you then:
"Today Apple formally transferred its Chinese iCloud operations to a local firm in southern China. It also began hosting its iCloud encryption keys in China, instead of the US, for the first time. The move has been expected since last year when Apple announced its partnership with Guizhou-Cloud Big Data (GCBD), a Chinese firm supervised by a board ran by government-owned businesses, with close ties to the government and Chinese Communist Party. "
I don't see anything wrong with the first 5x zoom bokeh, and the other portrait comparisons are just color science. In fact, the S10+ is oversaturated and too warm.
I dunno. I'd just rather not help propagate an authoritarian state controlled phone brand that can be used in abusing their citizens and maybe extend to hurting or controlling others outside the country one day.
Supporting Huawei means you support theirs and the Chinese government's tactics to have the Huawei exec freed. This includes arresting Canadian citizens in China, stopping all purchases of canola for which they say there is a safety concern and no other buyer has said there was nor has an invesitgation revealed there is, and the other things they are doing to strong arm countries into compliance with Chinese communist rule. You can laugh this away but you are directly supporting the harm done by this company and their country.
That's why Chinese services & actually the big five are looking suspicious. At least Apple is encrypting messages and ask for consent first if they want to track analytics and use differential privacy algorithms & you can mostly decline things. It's not what a custom rom like Lineage can offer, but it is still "okay".
However, China is forcing companies to use their servers and they are also forcing their citizens to use apps like WeChat where over time everyone is readable like a billboard at the Times Square.
Huawei wants to catch Apple in that regard. I hope the best for us.
I wouldn't be surprised if Huawei phones eventually trickle in pro-China news and shit to your feed. 2016 showed the world the power of information and I'm sure these authoritarian fucks are licking their lips.
Buying their products directly supports the Chinese government and their insidious tactics to oppress and bully other countries. You now know this. You can buy it and be jolly but you'll be that dude who supports an authoritarian government.
Many car brands already have apps that let you do this + turn on the engine, precondition the AC, or locate the car on a map.
The Huawei CFO had a MacBook, iPad and iPhone on her when she got arrested. China's elite LOVE Apple products.
Whoa really? I've been out of the car loop for a decade. It's one of those things you research the hell out of, make your purchase, and then forget about
It has made me wonder why we even make threads about Huawei or Xiaomi anymore. There is no point.
Question: What if Croco buys the phone used on ebay?
Did you know that China arrested Canadian citizens because the Huawei CFO was arrested in Canada because she had charges against her in the United States and Canada has extradition deal with the US? What about China conveniently stopping the purchase of Canadian canola due to health issues even though an investigation yielded no problems nor has any other buy raised concern.
To say it'a fearmongering means you live with your head in the sand. The Chinese government is batting so hard for Huawei to even where they threaten other countries for banning the 5g tech.
You can say "oh every country spies on every country somehow" and sure, they do. But China is at the bottom of any list on countries I wanna just hand my information over to on a platter.
And yeah, they're definitely not interested in me. But I'm not giving them a reason to be. So yeah, fuck Huawei.

Imagine stanning for an authoritariam regime because of a fucking camera. People wonder why conservatism is winning elections around the world: dumbfuckery like this.
They also did a live camera demo vs iPhone XS Max and Galaxy s10 and it blew them out of the water. You stay salty though
Has literally nothing to do with DXO but ok, I'm mad I guess.
