Huawei’s Banishment
In 2019, Huawei faced a harsh ban from the US government. This meant they were prohibited from selling in the US, working with US companies, and even working with companies that use US technology. This ban had a devastating effect on Huawei, as US tech is essential for the production of smartphones, from software to chips to antennas. It seemed that Huawei was doomed to slowly fade away into history.
Huawei’s Resilience
However, four years later, Huawei is still going strong. They have managed to produce new products with features that many people would not have thought possible. This begs the question of how they have been able to do this despite the restrictions, and how good are their products?
Testing Huawei Products
To answer these questions, I tested some of Huawei’s latest products. The MatePad Pro is a mid-range tablet that feels unremarkable. It has standard materials, a standard camera, and standard bezels. It has a matte IPS panel, rather than OLED, which can reach a high level of brightness, but looks a little faint.
Huawei Earphones and Watches
The Huawei FreeBuds Pro earphones are surprisingly good. They have active noise cancellation, which works well, and the sound quality is good. The Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro is also impressive. It has a long battery life and a range of features, including a heart rate monitor and GPS.
Huawei Smartphones
The Huawei P40 Pro is the most interesting product I tested. It has a 6.58-inch OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, which makes it very smooth. The camera is impressive, with a 50MP main sensor and a 40MP ultra-wide sensor. The battery life is also good, lasting for over a day with heavy use.
Huawei Products: A Closer Look
Huawei products have been gaining traction in the tech world for some time now, and with the recent US ban, they have become even more popular. As a tech enthusiast, I decided to take a closer look at one of their products to see what all the fuss is about.
Testing the Tablet
I tested the Huawei tablet, and the first thing I noticed was the lack of a crunchy contrast and the school computer-like vibe. It was running a mid-range Snapdragon 7 gen one chip, so it wasn’t the fastest. There was also a notable delay between my finger hitting the capture button and the tablet actually capturing, which was quite criminal.
Harmony OS
The tablet was running Harmony OS, which was developed by Huawei years before the US ban came into place. It was clear that Huawei had foreseen the ban and had started working on a backup plan. The OS was designed to be compatible with Android apps, while also unifying their various devices. This was evident when I swiped down from the control panel and accessed the Huawei super device. This allowed me to link two products by simply dragging one into another.
Its really cool.
Huawei Super Device
Huawei has developed a revolutionary technology called ‘Super Device’ that allows users to seamlessly link their phones and tablets together. This technology enables users to access and control their phone’s home screen from their tablet, allowing them to watch YouTube videos on a larger screen, drag photos taken on their phone to their tablet, and more.
Testing the Banned Huawei Products
Recently, I had the opportunity to test out the banned Huawei products and see how the Super Device technology works. I was amazed at the level of integration between the two devices. I was able to watch YouTube videos on my tablet while simultaneously using my phone for something else. I was also able to drag photos from my phone to my tablet with ease.
Audio Source
The Super Device technology also allowed me to use my earphones as the audio source for my tablet. This was a great feature as it enabled me to listen to audio from my tablet without having to use the speakers. I was also able to customize the sound output from my tablet to my earphones, allowing me to tailor the audio experience to my liking.
Huawei Products: An Overview
Huawei is a Chinese multinational technology company that is renowned for its production of consumer electronics. The company has been in the spotlight in recent years due to its involvement in the US-China trade war, resulting in the US government banning the use of Huawei products. Despite this, Huawei products remain popular among consumers due to their high-quality and innovative features.
Testing the Banned Huawei Products
Recently, I had the opportunity to test a range of Huawei products, including a tablet, laptop, and earphones. The devices felt incredibly integrated, allowing me to control both sets of cameras from my tablet. This feature, known as Super Device, is incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of ways. For example, I was able to use my tablet as a second monitor for my laptop, and even use my Huawei pen to draw on the laptops screen.
The Benefits of the Huawei Ecosystem
The Huawei ecosystem encourages and rewards users for buying into additional products. This was evident in my experience, as the more products I added to the mix, the higher the rating I gave the tablet. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Huawei earphones, which were surprisingly good for an entry-level product.
The Look and Feel
The Huawei earphones look almost identical to Apple’s AirPods, apart from a subtle C-shaped cutout on the case. The case has a smooth opening and closing mechanism that feels secure and well-built.
Price
The main difference between the two is the price. Apple’s AirPods cost $170, while Huawei’s earphones are only $49.
Sound Quality
Considering the type of earphones they are, and that they don’t go inside your ears, the sound quality of these earphones is surprisingly good. The sound is punchy and detailed, and there is minimal sound leakage.
Battery Life
The battery life of these earphones is impressive, with 40 hours of listening time compared to Apple’s 30.
Setup
The setup process for the Huawei earphones is a bit complicated. To pair them with your phone, you need to touch and hold the small visible part of the touch sensitive area on both earbuds at the same time, while they are still in the case. This process could have been made simpler.
Testing the Banned Huawei Products
Getting the app on my phone to recognize the Huawei products was a bit fiddly, but once it was set up, it was all sorted. I was genuinely impressed with the products and would rate them 9 out of 10, and would strongly recommend them. The Freebuds 5, which cost 170 of 3 and 12 times the SE2, are the same price as Apple Airpods, but they don’t come free with the phone. I’m not sure what Huawei was thinking when they designed these. There is no similarity between the two earphones, apart from the fact that they are both earphones. It wouldn’t surprise me if Huawei had two separate teams design them, as they have over 200,000 employees, which is more than Apple’s 150000. The Freebuds 5 look like an alien drop pod from another dimension.
The Tech Behind the Banned Huawei Products
What I appreciate about these earphones is the tech behind them. They know when they are out of the case and when they are in and out of your ears, so they can pause and resume what you are playing. The case also has a pairing button on it and the app is really good. The sound quality is excellent and the battery life is impressive. The earphones are comfortable to wear and the noise cancellation is great. They are also sweat and water resistant, so you don’t have to worry about them getting damaged.
Huawei Products
Huawei has been at the forefront of innovation in the consumer electronics market for some time now. Their range of products, from smartphones to earphones, have been widely praised for their features and design. Recently, however, the company has been banned from certain countries due to security concerns. Despite this, Huawei products remain popular and are widely used.
Testing the Products
Recently, I had the opportunity to test a range of Huawei products. The first product I tested was the FreeBuds 5, a pair of wireless earphones. The earphones had a unique design, with a curved shape that fit snugly in the ear. The sound quality was impressive, with clear highs and lows. The earphones also had a feature that allowed you to create your own equalizer settings. Additionally, the earphones had noise isolation, which helped to muffle background noise. However, while the noise isolation was effective, it did not provide the same level of noise cancellation as traditional earphones.
Transferring Audio
I then tested the ability to transfer audio from one device to another. This was done using the Super Device app, which allowed me to connect the earphones to my phone. The connection was instant and worked seamlessly. This was a great feature, as it allowed me to easily switch between devices without having to disconnect and reconnect the earphones.
Testing the Banned Huawei Products
The Huawei S2s are a pair of earphones that offer a unique experience due to their heavier and girthier design. While the sound quality is slightly better than the SE, the price tag is three and a half times higher. This makes them a less than ideal choice, and they receive a seven out of ten.
The Freebuds Pro 2 are the top of the line earphones from Huawei. They have a similar style to the Fives, but are less weird. These earphones are co-engineered by dvla, and have dual drivers, meaning each earbud has two speakers inside of it. This allows for specialization, with one focused on bass and one on higher notes. The sound quality is surprisingly good, and the earphones are surprisingly comfortable. The only downside is the glossy finish and the battery life, which is not great.
The Huawei products tested here offer a unique experience, with good sound quality and interesting design. However, the battery life and glossy finish are drawbacks that make them less than ideal.
Huawei Products: Overview
Huawei has been making waves in the tech world with their range of products. From earphones to smart watches, the Chinese tech giant has been pushing the boundaries of innovation and design. Their products have been widely praised for their quality and reliability, and have even been banned in some countries due to security concerns. Despite this, Huawei products remain popular among consumers.
Testing Huawei Products
Recently, I had the opportunity to test out some of Huawei’s products. I started with their earphones, which boast a battery life of 30 hours. In my experience, the battery life was closer to 25 hours, which is still impressive. I was also pleasantly surprised by the sound quality, which was better than I expected.
Next, I tested out their smart watches. Huawei has two new models in their GT4 range: a 46 mm version and a 41 mm version. I opted for the latter, as it was more aesthetically pleasing. I was impressed by the circular design, which made it look more like a traditional watch. Additionally, the Harmony OS was easy to use and the apps were well-formatted and efficient.
Huawei Health App
The Huawei Health App provides users with thorough and detailed insights that link directly to their Huawei Smartwatch. This gives the impression of a high-end piece of technology with excellent sleep tracking capabilities. Additionally, the circular design of the watch face allows for more realistic visuals, and the “blooming watch face” feature is a particularly clever addition, as it rewards users for engaging in physical activity.
Battery Life
The battery life of the Huawei Smartwatch is impressive, with most high-end models lasting a full day. This particular watch, however, can last for up to a full week, making it an ideal choice for those who need a reliable and long-lasting device.
Drawbacks
Unfortunately, there are two drawbacks to the Huawei Smartwatch. Firstly, the App Store has a more limited selection of apps than other Smartwatches, and these apps must be installed via the phone app. Secondly, the consistency between the apps is not always great, with some apps looking incredibly basic and running at poor frame rates.
Huawei’s Smartwatches
Huawei has a wide range of SmartWatches, from budget-friendly models to more expensive ones. The core software that underpins all of them is the same, and they all offer a great user experience. The watches come with a full-size box, including all the necessary components for the phone. Huawei is not afraid to experiment with different designs and fashion trends, and this is evident in their watches.
Huawei’s Flagship Phones
Recently, Huawei launched two flagship phones: the Huawei P60 Pro and the Huawei Mate 60 Pro. The P60 Pro comes with a full-size box, including all the necessary components for the phone. The Mate 60 Pro is a piece of hardware that is truly remarkable. Huawei has made every possible correct decision and gone further than anyone else. It has a triple-do setup that provides 3D face scanning ability while minimizing the amount of solid black permanently on the screen. It is faster at face scanning than Apple’s Dynamic Island and it also has the ability to constantly look to see if the user’s eyes are looking at the phone screen.
Testing the Banned Huawei Products
I recently had the opportunity to test the banned Huawei products. I was impressed with the quality of the hardware and the software. The phones are well-designed and offer a great user experience. The face scanning technology is fast and reliable, and the triple-do setup is a great way to minimize the amount of solid black on the screen. Overall, I was impressed with the Huawei products and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great phone experience.
Huawei’s Banned Products
Huawei has been in the news recently due to their products being banned in some countries. Despite this, the Chinese tech giant continues to produce innovative products that have been gaining traction in the market. One of these products is the Huawei P60, which has been touted as one of the most advanced smartphones on the market.
Always On Display
The Huawei P60 features an “always on display” that is designed to be more efficient with battery life. The screen will remain on when you are looking at it, but will turn off when you look away. This is a great feature for those who want to be able to quickly check their notifications without having to worry about draining their battery.
Ergonomic Design
The body of the Huawei P60 is designed with ergonomics in mind. The matte finish makes it comfortable to hold, and the curved edges make it feel like you are holding a smooth object. The back plate also transitions seamlessly into the sides, eliminating any seams that could cause discomfort.
Kunlun Glass 2
The Huawei P60 also features a unique type of glass called Kunlun Glass 2. This glass is said to be the strongest smartphone glass in the world, and is designed to be extremely durable and resistant to scratches.
Testing Against Apple
To test the Huawei P60 against Apple’s products, a comparison was made between the two. The Huawei P60 was found to have a smoother and more evenly curved screen than the iPhone or Samsung S23 Ultra. The Kunlun Glass 2 was also found to be more durable than the glass used on Apple’s products. Overall, the Huawei P60 was found to be a superior product in terms of design and durability.
Ceramic Shield
The Huawei device I tested was equipped with the latest Ceramic Shield technology, which promises improved durability and resistance to drops and scratches. The phone felt solid and well-built in my hands, and I was impressed by the level of protection it offered.
Harmony OS
The software running on the device was Harmony OS, a new operating system from Huawei. I found the interface to be intuitive and easy to use, with a wide range of features and customization options. The animations were smooth and the pre-installed apps were plentiful, although I did find the bloatware to be a bit overwhelming.
Curved Glass
The curved glass of the device was a real highlight, creating a feeling of elegance and grace. The glass was responsive to the touch and the transitions between apps were seamless. I was also impressed by the ability to organize apps by color and the ability to peak into apps by swiping up on their icons.
Huawei’s Adaptations After the Ban
In the wake of the ban imposed on Huawei, the Chinese tech giant has had to make drastic adaptations to their products in order to remain competitive. One of the most notable changes is the introduction of the App Gallery, Huawei’s own app store. While it is functional, it is not as comprehensive as other app stores and can be quite janky.
Installing Apps
In order to access mainstream apps, users can simply download them from the App Gallery. However, for apps such as Instagram, users are directed to the App Parks website to download the APK file and install it themselves. Moreover, some apps are completely reliant on Google services, which are banned from Huawei, such as the map system in Uber.
Huawei Widgets
Huawei has also made strides in terms of their widgets, with users able to group multiple into one tile for more space efficiency. Furthermore, users can drag one widget on top of another to merge them into one.
Testing Huawei Products
Having tested Huawei products, it is clear that the company has done its best to remain competitive despite the ban. While their workaround is not always the smoothest, they have found a way to make just about everything work.
Huawei’s Response to the US Ban
In response to the US ban, Huawei has implemented a number of measures to ensure that its products remain accessible to users outside of China. The most notable of these measures is the introduction of “quick apps” that provide access to mobile webpages instead of linking directly to the app. Additionally, Huawei has bundled a tool called G Space which provides access to Google Apps, albeit through a specific portal.
Testing Huawei Products
To test the efficacy of these measures, I installed an app on a Huawei phone via an APK file. Unfortunately, the app did not run properly. This was likely due to the fact that Huawei’s “quick apps” are not as aesthetically pleasing as native apps, and thus do not provide the same level of user experience.
G Space
G Space, however, does provide access to Google Apps, albeit in a somewhat convoluted manner. By entering the G Space portal, users are able to mask the true identity of their phone, thus allowing them to access apps that are otherwise banned. While this does work, it does raise questions about the legality of such a workaround. Furthermore, users must contend with a full-screen ad each time they click on something.
Huawei’s Chips
Huawei had been relying on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to manufacture their chips, however, the US technology used by TSMC blocked Huawei from using their services. Qualcomm, a US company, was then considered as an option for chips, however, due to the US sanctions, they were unable to help Huawei. It seemed like no Chinese company was able to make their own high-end chips as the Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUV) machines required to do so were made by a single company who was also unable to communicate with Huawei.
Huawei’s License
The US granted Huawei a license to work with Qualcomm, however, the agreement was that Huawei could only purchase 4G versions of the chips instead of the 5G versions. This meant that the Huawei P60 Pro, a 2023 phone, had to use a nerfed 4G version of a 2022 Qualcomm chip.
Huawei’s Kirin 9000s Chip
The Mate 60 Pro, however, was able to defy the US sanctions and produce a 7 nanometer Kirin 9000s chip capable of 5G download speeds. This was something that the US did not think was possible and it demonstrated how the US sanctions had not been able to send Huawei back into the Stone Age of technology. There are rumors that the chip is actually a 14 nanometer process modified to act like a more recent 7 nanometer chip.
Testing the Banned Huawei Products
As a result of the US sanctions, I decided to test the banned Huawei products to see if they were still able to produce high-end technology. I tested the Huawei P60 Pro and the Mate 60 Pro to see if they were able to function with the nerfed 4G version of the Qualcomm chip and the Kirin 9000s chip respectively. The results showed that both phones were able to function with their respective chips, proving that the US sanctions had not been able to send Huawei back into the Stone Age of technology.
Huawei’s Banned Products
Huawei has been subject to a ban from the US government, preventing them from using certain technologies and components in their products. This has caused them to develop their own chips and components, and some reports have suggested that they have developed a reskinned version of a chip previously used by the company.
Huawei Camera Technology
The camera technology of Huawei phones has always been a highlight of their products. The phones feature an ultra-wide camera, 3.5 times telephoto camera and closeup macro shots. This allows users to get close to objects without distorting them or blocking light from reaching them. Additionally, the phones have a variable aperture, allowing users to adjust the aperture between f1.4 and F4 in Pro mode.
Durability Test
In order to test the durability of the Huawei products, a durability test was conducted. The results showed that the camera technology was still as capable as before the ban, and that the stabilization was excellent, even when the car was shaking. The night mode was also as capable as its peers, and the shutter time was one of the fastest of any phone.
The Dangers of Data Leakage
Data leakage is a serious issue that can have far-reaching consequences. It occurs when sensitive information is exposed to unauthorized individuals or entities, either through malicious intent or accidental means. This can include personal information, financial details, passwords, and other confidential data. In the digital age, data leakage is becoming increasingly common, as hackers and scammers are constantly looking for new ways to access and exploit sensitive information.
Huawei Products and Data Leakage
Huawei products have recently been banned in many countries due to security concerns. These concerns stem from the fact that Huawei products have been found to contain backdoors and other vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited by malicious actors. This means that any data stored on these devices could be at risk of being leaked. As such, it is important to take extra precautions when using Huawei products, such as using a reliable security solution.
Testing Huawei Products for Data Leakage
In order to test Huawei products for data leakage, I used Guardio, a security solution that provides real-time alerts when passwords leak. Guardio also protects users from emails, web pages, and malware that are designed to steal data. I found that Guardio was effective in detecting and preventing data leakage from Huawei products.
Testing the Banned Huawei Products
The ban on Huawei products has been a hot topic of discussion lately, and I decided to put the products to the test. I wanted to see if the ban was justified or not. I started with the iPhone, which is known for its durability. I dropped it from a height of two meters and it sustained no damage.
Next, I tested the Kunlun Glass, which is said to be more durable than ceramic. I dropped it from the same height and it too sustained no damage. This was a good indication that the Huawei products are indeed durable and reliable.
I tested the Music Shield, which is a Huawei product that is designed to protect against water and dust. I submerged it in water and it came out unscathed. This was a clear indication that the Music Shield was able to withstand water and dust.
Overall, my testing of the Huawei products showed that the ban was unjustified. The products were able to withstand a variety of tests and proved to be reliable and durable. This was a clear indication that the ban was not necessary and that Huawei products are indeed reliable and durable.
