Canalys: Huawei is back as number 1 in China in Q2 of 2025 Comments
M Not gonna happen in the global scene. Even Huawei has forgotten to give their global rom users significant OS updates. New EMUI phones only get security updates. EMUI is dead but they still keep using EMUI for new devices outside China despite lack of new software features on par with the competition. Global EMUI still has no AI features. The Pura 70 series still don't have these. I wonder if the global Pura 80 series have AI features. ? Juan, 8 hours ago This shows that Chinese consumers care more about camera capabilities than processing power. it's not just China. Most of us use our camera more than we use the top speed of our phones. unless you play graphic intensive games, you really don't need that much processing power for every day use. ? SmgUk, 6 hours ago And yet completely irrelevant in the rest of the world haha 😂 It's as if some politicians, who think they own the world, have something to do with it. Now we're stuck with a duopoly whose main innovations are just increasing camera mo, 45W fast charging and installing themes for the first time lmao. Next "innovation" will be using AI to calculate how much time left before battery gets fully charged. 🤣 L Anonymous, 5 hours ago Samsung can't compete against those Ultra Titans in China. Camera, battery and charging s... more It's not that Samsung can't compete, it's more that they have a bad reputation in China. SmgUk, 6 hours ago And yet completely irrelevant in the rest of the world haha 😂 How is that a good thing? All the innovation stays in China with Huawei now that the US got scared of them and sanctioned them. They are only "irrelevant" because they were too relevant to begin with, which they still would be, it's not their fault that they aren't anymore. v China continues on the same path, it's only a matter of time before Android is completely banned ? Un-disputed, 11 hours ago Where's Samsung? 😂 Don't they sell Samsung phones in China? Samsung can't compete against those Ultra Titans in China. Camera, battery and charging speed are the most important daily usage. S And yet completely irrelevant in the rest of the world haha 😂 C Un-disputed, 11 hours ago Where's Samsung? 😂 Don't they sell Samsung phones in China? Well somewhere in end of top 10. C Would be happy if Apple wont be even in top 20 but whathewer. Well done Huawei. Hope they will be number 1 in world just as decade ago. Un-disputed, 11 hours ago Where's Samsung? 😂 Don't they sell Samsung phones in China? Nowhere, places where real competition actually exists, there is no need for Samsung. S Lister, 9 hours ago Oppo and Oneplus make by far the best phones in China.

J This shows that Chinese consumers care more about camera capabilities than processing power. ? Jemek, 11 hours ago I mean, maybe not on paper, but how there is a Vivo mini phone and then an exact copy body fro... more Sub-brands is way to get components at lower price. OnePlus is not gonna deal with suppliers, Oppo does. This is the only way some brands can undercut price of other. Small brands can't negotiate better deals like brands that buy huge amounts of components. ? Jemek, 11 hours ago I'm actually curious why the Chinese don't prefer Vivo or Oppo. In my eyes same inve... more Reasons why more mainland people prefer huawei : 1. Good specs with competitive pricing. Huawei's camera is/have been especially good, generally better than oppo & vivo. 2. Good service, strong marketing I don't live in china so I can't affirm this, but it is said that you can get better after sales service & other benefits there. 3. Harmony OS Many people nowadays (not just china nationals, but also people from other countries) who don't like google and want the alternatives (just like many people prefer to use linux than windows). s this is real ly good news and with this oppo will be releasing its rumoured 10x optical zoom sooner & and the others like vivo and xiaomi will be pushed to innovate at a fast er pace and in 2-3 years time when huawei s able 2 independently manufacture its own kirin chip set will be able to sell its phones at an even lower price and we ll be enjoying all in around year 2027 / 2028 and lets jist wish all well ! L Oppo and Oneplus make by far the best phones in China. It's weird how much of a hold Huawei has over the populace. I suspect it's because it stands to replace google with the OS of choice. S regs, 11 hours ago BBK ceased to exist 2 years ago. Owner, Duan Yongping, decided to shutdown it down, when retir... more You talk as if you know him personally. Who are you, jinping? A Jemek, 11 hours ago But saying Vivo and Oppo aren't the same company is kinda dumb. BBK is BBK, same rebrands... more Vivo and OPPO always operated completely independently and didn't rebrand phones even before BBK was deregistered. Can you name any OPPO and VIVO phones that were rebranded. I don't think there ever has been. They're also not sharing the same technology. Different charging protocols. Vivo has its own ISP which OPPO doesn't etc ? Jemek, 11 hours ago I'm actually curious why the Chinese don't prefer Vivo or Oppo. In my eyes same inve... more Cause of Android

Huawei unveils MatePad Pro 12.2" with PaperMatte display, Freebuds 6 go global
Huawei held an event today to showcase its latest wearables. Alongside those we saw the announcement of a new tablet and the international release of another set of TWS earbuds. The tablet is called MatePad Pro 12.2" and is a natural evolution from the 2024 version launched last summer. It has a PaperMatte display with a Tandem OLED panel underneath, but it retains the same 508g body, 10,100 mAh battery and 100W wired charging. The earbuds are the Freebuds 6, available in China since March 2025. They offer AI noise cancelling and a redesigned audio driver for clearer output. As the name suggests, the MatePad Pro has a 12.2" screen. It has a resolution of 2,800 x 1840 pixels and upgrades to 3,000 nits peak brightness. Thanks to the PaperMatte display technology, the tablet significantly reduces glare and reflection. The tablet still has a dual camera setup on the back, with a 50 MP main snapper and an 8 MP ultrawide camera for those unusual moments when you have to take a group photo with a 12-inch slate. Huawei generally does not talk about its chipsets, so we can only assume it runs on the Kirin 9000S platform - we have nothing official. The tablet does come with EMUI on the international market, but interestingly, it is not available in China, so we don't know whether it runs Huawei's self-developed HarmonyOS Next. Huawei MatePad Pro 12.2" comes bundled with a magnetic keyboard. The 12/256 GB version is €849.99 (not available in the UK), while the 12/512 GB variant, which is the only one with the PaperMatte display, is £899.99/€999.99. The Freebuds 6 have the unique waterdrop-shaped (they call it droplet) stem, which is 12% smaller and 9% lighter than the predecessor. Huawei is now using AI for multi-channel noise reduction, and can filter up to 95 dB of unwanted noise. The company advertised a feature first implemented in the Freebuds Pro 4 - the ability to have a clear call while in a noisy environment, like a loud concert or a sports game. The Freebuds 6 has an AI agent in China, which is disabled in the international units. The price of Huawei Freebuds 6 is £139.99/€159.99. The audio wearables are already available on the Huawei Store.
