The prize will be one HUAWEI P40 Pro
Many consider the Huawei P40 Pro to be the best photography phone on the market right now. TIPA WORLD AWARDS nominated the phone as the best smartphone for photos, thanks to the amazing camera technology featured on the device. The P40 Pro has a 50MP camera with a 1/1.28 inch ultra vision sensor. It can take in a great deal of light which means photos in low-light situations look amazing. Combine this with the real-time depth-sensing camera, and you can create professional-level bokeh effects in your photos.
Use the 100x SuperZoom array to get detailed shots of objects far away. Choose between the 3x optical zoom, the 20x hybrid zoom, or the 100x max zoom, for the best zoom camera in any smartphone.
The Huawei P40 Pro also comes with a 40MP ultra-wide cine camera. This camera features a 1/1.54 inch sensor, ultra low-light video, ultra slow-motion video, telephoto video and 4K timelapse. It’s a feature-packed cinematic video camera designed to give the user all the tools they need to get the perfect shot.
We thank HUAWEI for sponsoring this post. Our sponsors help us pay for the many costs associated with running XDA, including server costs, full time developers, news writers, and much more.

Sponsored content, advertising and XDA Depot are managed by a separate team entirely. XDA will never compromise its journalistic integrity by accepting money to write favorably about a company, or alter our opinions or views in any way. Our opinion cannot be bought.

I would like to have more details, from an end user's standpoint, on how to access the apps that are absent from the Huawei App Gallery, and whether there will be some workflow to be able to get them working on recent Huawei phones.

I would like to know how will they continue to build their ecosystem compared to Android. Also, what kind of alternatives they are willing to support for the users to load other roms in case their solution does not live up to expectations.

I want to see a live Harmony OS mobile device along with Huawei taking on Android in a big way..

I would like to see what will happen with unlocking bootloader in future huawei phones.

Official use of custom ROMs
I would like to see Huawei find a way for us to officially use custom ROMs without root (since they Don't use gms) as a way to attract geeks and provide a truly brilliant software experience with the truly amazing hardware experience. Imagine that

I would like to see if Huawei have any plan to enter the recent craze of gaming phones and how they would support gaming phones with their new HMS Core 5.0, HarmonyOS and EMUI 11. Also, what kind of flexibility and dev-friendly commitments they will offer to the developers compared to their rivals while building apps on AppGallery platform.

I would like see Tablet Edition OS based on EMUI or Harmony OS and at least software update support for three years.

New Huawei OS

I would like to know what Huawei does different from Google and Apple ecosystems, that would make it unique to me to use it over them? What will you bring to the table that will make us jump to that bandwagon?

In addition to everything described I would like to know about the strategy for saving game data in the cloud, participating in early access or beta testing apps, improving developer feedback by encouraging developer efforts.

I want to see the launch of Harmony OS in some Huawei Smartphones and more investment in the AppGallery

I am expecting a better support in software upgradation. atleast for 3 years.

I'm waiting for harmony os

I would like to know more about the apps that I would have to use instead of the google apps/android ecosystem and how it would change my cellphone experience.

Would love to see Harmony and the new ecosystem Huawei is trying to create. Also, for how long are they going to support it, so we don't have to purchase new devices for new updates or whether they would allow custom mods to be made easily.

I'd like Huawei to announce they will support bootloader unlocks so that we can develop custom Android ROMS for them and port alternative OSes like UBports and postmarketOS to them.

Given the current situation, I would like to know what steps Huawei is taking to ensure they have as many of the mainstream apps as possible on their app store.

I would like to know how Huawei could possibly give developers more rights, like bootloader unlocking. I would love to see us being able to install play services or microG whenever necessary, without strange "backups".
However, it would be nice to know if Huawei could free Android a bit more, as many features became proprietary in the last years with google. Who needs open source android when almost every app needs to rely on non-standarized proprietary services?

I want to see Huawei talk about their plans for the future, whether its a completely new os or a new phone with innovative technology (possible a phone with an under-display selfie camera?).
Hopefully they come up with a new os though, competition is always good

Samsung's first Tizen phone: the Samsung Z

Well, it looks like Samsung finally managed to do what it has been trying to do for a painfully long time — the Korean manufacturer has made its first Tizen-powered phone official. Called the Samsung Z, the phone features a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display of 1280×720 resolution and is powered a quad-core 2.3GHz processor (most like a Snapdragon 800), and runs on version 2.2.1 of Tizen. The Z comes with a new look that should come as a breath of fresh air for those who have gotten bored of Samsung’s design language on Android devices (let’s face it, who hasn’t?), though the overall design seems to be along the same lines as the company’s previous efforts.
The Samsung Z also sports a fingerprint and heart rate sensor and comes with features such as Download Booster and Ultra Power Saving Mode, things that debuted on the Galaxy S5. The hardware specs include 2GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera with the usual camera modes that we’ve seen on Samsung’s Android phones (and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera), 16GB of internal storage and a microSD slot, connectivity features including LTE-A, NFC and an IR sensor, and a 2,600 mAh battery. It’s basically a mix of the previous three Galaxy S flagships, and for a first device with a new OS, doesn’t really have anything impressive or different to offer.

Hmm..
Well, the specs are good, no doubt in that. But, when it comes down to software, never believe in samsung, coz they ain't good in that field. After bada, I ain't trying anything that comes out from the software kitchen of samsung. Although, the ability to run android apps is a relief.

By the look of it, it looks like they took a lot of "design inspiration" from the Sony Xperia Series.

Absolute no go for me.
The Z will launch in Russia in Q3 and expand to other markets later on, and will also be showcased at Samsung’s Tizen developer conference on June 3rd. However, as Samsung has said in the past, don’t expect to see any Tizen phone in the US and some European markets,..

Honor new hand phone equipped with Huawei 'scary technology'

Have you guys heard of Huawei gound-breaking technology?
I read a news https://www.gizmochina.com/2018/05/...gy-improve-product-feature-inside-honor-play/
President of Honor, Zhao Ming has revealed that Huawei will showcase its latest breakthrough technology at an event on 28th May. Further, the same technology will be used in the upcoming Honor Play smartphone, which is scheduled to officially launch on 6th June.
Yu Chengdong, Chairman of Huawei Device, announced that Huawei will soon launch this breakthrough technology and added that it will mark as the company’s landmark for 2018. While he has not revealed what this major breakthrough technology is, he said that the technology will significantly improve the performance of its products. Describing the effect of this upcoming technology, Yu Chengdong said that difference in speed of mobile phones is equivalent to the difference between “running on the ground” and “flying in the sky.”
So, there are two highlights here. One is that Huawei will soon launch its revolutionary technology which makes their products "flying in the sky" and another one is that Honor is going to release a new phone called Honor Play.
I suppose the new technology is the improvement of its AI, since it didn't mention about the advancement of handware. As for the new product Honor Play, will it be a new flagship of Honor?

[Discussion] Android 9/Pei update for V10 - Beta started in China

While checking I found this URL -
which claims that Android 9.0 update has been rolled out to few test users in China (closed beta group) which indicates we may soon expect the Android 9 hitting a stable release in China followed by global release.
Highlight from GizChina article-
president of Huawei’s mobile phone product line, He Gang, revealed that Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Huawei P20, Honor 10, and Honor V10 models have simultaneously started Android 9 Pie beta testing. He further stated that Huawei’s engineers are already working hard to perfect the system.
According to Huawei’s pollen club’s announcement, the above-mentioned models pushed an internal test version to a small number of pollen users on August 6. The official internal testing recruitment activities for the majority of pollen users will commence as soon as the update is ready.

According to Google, the new Android 9 Pie has two major upgrades. The first is its support for the recently popularized notch. In the developer mode, the Android 9 Pie system can simulate the notch and optimize the notification bar.
Secondly, the system efficiency is optimized which means that Android 9 Pie takes a shorter time to launch apps and the overall performance is better. At the same time, Android 9 Pie also displays the idle applications using the phone microphone, camera, and other sensors. The security of Android 9 Pie is better than the previous versions.
I found the similar article on GSM Arena: https://m.gsmarena.com/four_huawei_...ing_tested_with_android_90_pie-news-32670.php
I'm really satisfied with these news. Can't wait for the update, although it'll take a while. ?
Even 8.1 is not coming to our device...
Android 9.... by the time should already end of support of the 2 years firmware..

Are you talking about EMUI or the actual version of Android?
The OP is speaking of Android Pie & I'm almost certain all Honor View 10's have been updated to Android 8.1........ Even if Huawei isn't tops in updates, I'd be surprised if this phone doesn't get Android 9.0.
I'd dare say we'll see it on this phone before any Samsung device, but, then again, that's not saying much, LOL....

Just asking because the version I have (BKL-L04) has EMUI 8.0,but,is on Android 8.1:
That's Android 8.1 but you have the AMERICAN MODEL, The European version doesn't have android 8.1,
Notice your model is t C567 but mine is c430 which is the Europe version

Yeah,I get that,was just checking that we were talking about the version of Android,not the version of EMUI.
I'm in agreement 100%,there is absolutely no reason for the fragmentation of Android versions on what is virtually the same exact phone.

As far as Huawei / Honor is concerned, EMUI 8 has most changes found in Android 8.1 and also the Co. views the incremental updates as a major update. Their phones get two major Android updates and all phones released in 2018, whether with Android 8.0 or 8.1 would directly be updated to Android 9

That may be true,but,it still doesn't explain why the European version is on Android 8.0 & the NA version is on Android 8.1.
It may not matter to you,but,right or wrong,it matters to the end user.
Why give the impression that Huawei values some regions over others,especially on the same device?
It leaves a bad taste in the mouth & may cause some current owners to look elsewhere for their next phone purchase.
Especially w/Huawei's recent climb in market share,it also gives the impression that they don't have to worry about how the end user thinks or feels about their phone.
Along w/the recent policy change regarding the bootloader unlock,those are two areas of great concern to perhaps a small,but,very vocal community of users.......just something to think about.....
While I'm satisfied w/my Honor View 10,I can state it's the last Huawei device I purchase,unless Huawei changes their stance on locked bootloaders................

I get your point and I feel the same regarding the bootloader unlocking, but from Huawei's point of view, an unlocked bootloader just stands in their way of already rising security concerns of US and EU on Huawei. Regarding them releasing the same device with different android versions in different markets, it poses an issue only to a small group of people and I agree that it is wrong to other users, but we've been complaining about different regional firmware on Huawei devices since EMUI 4, but they have only turned a cold shoulder. A single international firmware (apart from their Chinese one) would help in faster software updates to all devices.

Your last statement is the head-scratcher(as to why there's not a universal Int'l firmware...................admittedly,Huawei isn't alone here,other mfgs are guilty of the same practice.
If the carriers are involved,as in the US,with their own bloat/etc....... I have to give 'em (Huawei & others) the benefit of the doubt.
If I could disable & re-enable Phone Manager at will w/o root,or,any other system apps (ADB allows for removal,but,a factory reset is needed to bring it back),I could forgo root on this phone.....
EMUI 4,I guess that goes back a ways,LOL,I had a long gap between Huawei Devices : OG Huawei Ascend m860 w/CM7 & some of the more current Huawei/Honor devices.
Have a great weekend! :good:

I really don't get Carrier based devices as the specific distribution channel really doesn't work well in Asian markets (I'm from India). I'd really wish if Huawei / Honor took the Oneplus route with a single firmware internationally. Oneplus beats Huawei / Honor in terms of software update reputation mainly because of their ease of updating their devices worldwide. I'd also like to get an android one version of Honor flagships. That'd be great, don't you think?

I wonder why you and other people thinks bootloader unlocking has something to do with the US and EU security concerns, when it should be the other way around.
If you think about it, it's the other way around, meaning that with an unlockable bootloader, security researchers, NSA, CIA, you name it, could investigate on what's happening under the hood, while with a locked bootloader all this it's very hard to crack.
US was never concerned about Huawei devices being easy to crack because their bootloader can be unlocked, but their concerns were about China spying on US citizens, government, etc. Same goes with EU.
What would help Huawei, is open sourcing their chipset, being more transparent to the eye of the security researchers and developers, not closing their system even more.

Your comment hammers home my point,the phone was released elsewhere 1st & stands to reason that earlier adopters would have 8.1 before the newer regions.
The explanation given earlier ,that the latest EMUI has all the features of Android 8.1,regardless of which version of Android you're running,is illogical.
If that's the case,then why would Huawei bother with an updated version of Android on one region & not others.
It's crazy,so,that is why one with a model running Android 8.1 would make the assumption the other regions are on the same version......
Yes,I'm sure it's been discussed here in other threads & I've missed that discrepancy,obviously,until now.
I have no complaints w/the phone,one of the best overall I've owned,especially with the price of admission,so,I haven't had the need to read every thread & response.......

Camera 2 API Support - Offical Forum Thread

Hey Guys,
I opened a thread in the offical Huawei Forum in order to try to push a little the better implementation of the camera 2 api. I know chances are low, but if there is enough feedback and participation in the discussion maybe there is a chance for change. So please feel free to contribute to the thread and also share it if you are interested in better camera 2 api implementation.

Maybe also support these for a smarter camera app:

Thank you for sharing the links and for the support. I know the chances are low that this is going to change something but maybe huawei pays some attention to the community...
I don't know how much this will really matter in the recent light of the huawei ban, but we received an answer regarding the Camera2api implementation in the forums.

Lets hope that the noise made about this topic is enough to maybe move something a a better direction.
Huawei doesn‘t care, I bet. At least Lightroom can shoot HDR DNG with the ultra wide cam...
I wanted to make a comment about this. I just bought the p30 pro here in China. I have been waiting for the emui 10 update. But, I also found on Huawei's website the Huawei Camerakit, which it says encapsulates the Google camera2 API. It requires Android studio version 3.0.1 or later, a Kirin 970 or later, and emui 8.1.0 or later... Wouldn't this mean a developer like the people on here could implement it? Link is developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/Camerakit.
I am hoping you all have an explanation/some enlightenment!
P30 Lite specification
Could anybody share Camera2 API Prob results here for Huawei P30 Lite?

Google cutting ties with Huawei

Hello friends,
I've been following telegram groups (Huawei exploits) for information regarding the unlocking of my bootloader since Huawei never responded to my request prior to cancelling their services.
This info was announced moments ago, and thought I would share it with you.
Play Store and Google services will be a thing of the past it seems.
This is the article linked in telegram.

Statement from Huawei...

Huawei will continue to provide security updates and after-sales services to all existing Huawei and Honor smartphone and tablet products, covering those that have been sold and that are still in stock globally.

No security patches from March patch

If it really happens "Without Google Products" how Huawei will keep its market share???
Their market share will go down obviously. They're working on the replacement which should be legal in China which is a huge market and should attract many developers. Over 100M phones sold by Huawei each year is also no slouch.
