I have been using cell phones since the mid 90's and various companies have made an impact on the industry. Motorola and Nokia have helped shape much of the past years in cell phones, the latter introducing me to my first "smart" phone with the communicator. Then came the BlackBerry, which boosted productivity on cell phones with IM and IM and I used it until the iPhone got bigger. What BlackBerry has done for productivity, the iPhone for touch screens, which has helped shape the last decade of mobile phones. While the iPhone was aiming for the high-end of the market, Android has brought the smartphone to the general public, and the likes of HTC and Samsung have allowed Android to compete with the iPhone with new and superior build quality. characteristics. While I've mostly stuck with the iPhone as my primary phone for the past decade, I've always had an Android, BlackBerry, or Windows phone as my backup. That being said, it has happened many times that an Android phone becomes my primary phone. Phones like the HTC One M8, Sony Xperia Z5, and Samsung Galaxy S8 all surpassed its capabilities and convinced me to use them as my primary device, at least for a while. There was another phone that did it last year: the Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
My introduction to the Huawei brand goes back five to six years when Huawei opened an office in the United Arab Emirates. When I asked how the company name was pronounced, the answer was a very simple reminder of the state of society with consumers, of winter, to remember it as a business that sounded like "who are we? Even if I didn't care, devices made by Huawei at the time they certainly didn't, and if you had asked me about their phones back in 2013, I would have simply considered them a brand that almost everyone would never have heard of.
Huawei has certainly proven otherwise!
The first time I noticed the phone was with the Mate 9 in 2016, it was the right phone at the right time: a big-screen device with incredible capabilities released right after the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Things went horribly wrong for Samsung that year, when big screen phones started to become the norm and Huawei, with the incredible Mate 9, rejoiced. < p class="bordeaux-image-check">
From the Mate 9 to the latest P30 Pro, Huawei has been at the forefront of mobile phone technology and has become the second largest phone manufacturer in the world. It has reached this level by improving its products faster than its competitors. With the move to foldable technology, Huawei was ready to steer mobile phones towards what could become the next defining form factor in the industry. The only competitor Huawei had with the Mate X was the Samsung Galaxy Fold, another product that didn't get off to a good start. I played around with the Huawei Mate X and was very excited to use it as my main phone. But I don't know if that would be the case and it would be a shame if all the hard work Huawei puts into this industry is stopped for political reasons. Cutting off access to Android and ARM may severely restrict phone makers. Although Huawei is calm on the outside, I imagine a storm is brewing in society. Against all odds, Huawei has risen to the top of the smartphone market in recent years and I doubt it will give up this position without a quality fight.
