Kriegsherr, 23 Oct 2020didnt CCP make hypocratic decision? all of google's service is banned in whole China but ... moreIt was pretty normal when us banned huawei in their country because they have the right to do so since china also banned some of their companies but it is ridiculous right now us forced its allies to also ban huawei and not only that but also stopped a lot of companies from doing business with huawei
Did china do that ? No

      Asbk, 23 Oct 2020Seriously? I thought google has block every other way to install gms on any huawei phone?Yesterday, XDA even provide an apk file that can easily sideload GMS with less hassle.

      Weird, introduced right after Mate 40 announced. Seems like Huawei itself get involved into it (deeply covered), to make people know that there are still alternative way to get GMS, in order to get their phone sold.

        Have been looking forward to the release of this to replace my Mate 20 Pro. That was until two weeks ago when the glass over the camera lens broke on my device. The experience of dealing with Huawei's approved repair 'agent' has been shocking. I suspect they are inundated with too many phone repairs - they diagnosed the fault correctly, charged me £148 for the repair but then just sent the phone back untouched claiming it was "beyond economic repair". It's back with them now, they've issued the same quotation to repair it & no mention of beyond economic repair. These 3rd party repair company's are utterly useless when it comes to needing repairs and wholly inappropriate for £1000+ handsets. Huawei - get a grip of this and bring handset repairs in-house.

                  If the phone worked flawlessly out of the box i´d get my get hands on one....It´s an impressive phone.

                  but no google services is too much for a phone of this price

                      Seems the front camera is fixed focus again? Isnt that a step back from the P40 pro?! I have the latter which I got in part because of the auto focus.

                            Without GMS it's just an expensive paperweight. Sometimes I wish Google would cut support of GMS on iOS. Then we would see how popular/useful iPhones really are.

Which is just pathetic and confirms their favourable bias towards iPhones. At least Anandtech has an article on these phones that sounds quite enthusiastic.

                                      Camera is like better colors and detail (also compared to that note), but ultrawide got weird processing and less detail than 10mp on older gen, still more than note though.
