An addition for your article: the notch can be deactivated in the settings for all smartphones from Emui 8.1, it is only software-based.
Hello Hannes! Thanks for your addition, I added 🙂
What? I was really excited about the P20, but the notch was a thorn in my side / display.
Cool info!
And then another say Huawei is not innovative 😉
But Huawei no longer has any other reasons to buy than the camera, right?
But this is also the case with other manufacturers, not just Huawei. There are simply no more killer arguments.
In the past, a cheap smartphone was an argument, but those days are over 🙁
Huawei and boring? It's no surprise because besides bad software and no jack, there are simply no advantages over Samsung or Apple
who still listens to music through jack these days? Software could really be better and more independent.
Who doesn't listen to music through the jack? 😉
Bluetooth only eats the battery, especially on my P9 Lite, now I finally need a new one!
i hardly know any people anymore ... bluetooth shouldn't usually eat up that much battery either, maybe it's just because of your p9 lite
Now everyone doesn't exaggerate so much, I think the smartphone is really successful. Finding at least one reason to buy is good!
From my point of view, this worked out almost perfectly.
Nearly perfect? It's perfect, there is nothing better on the market. Even better than an SLR
Smartphones will never outperform a SLR - not just because of the size of the lenses. But now smartphone cameras are really useful, I don't want to doubt that.
The camera is perfect. The Huawei have always been at the forefront.
Nonsense. For example, to have a high-performance smartphone with not overloaded software.
