It's unclear what Huawei plans to launch, but the company's consumer and automotive technology executive Richard Yu, called it an "epoch-making product."
Another big factor is that the app ecosystem centres on meta apps like wechat that have a lot of combined functionality. That makes the actual underlying OS less important to the user since they do everything in the app anyway.
Sure, but is that due to a better product, cheaper product or a better political landscape?
I am leaning on the latter two options.

For all its faults (and there are many), Huawei continually features some of best phone cameras available worldwide.
