Looks like an iphone -- clearly just another knockoff, right down to the raised & rounded screen edges.
They do that with services, too. And intellectual property as well. My husband used to work at a company that had to devote considerable resources to fighting the theft and repackaging of their data. To add insult to injury, the person or company did a craptastic job with their rip-offs, too, but dense or legitimately confused customers would call the legit company to complain about the knockoff they purchased!Chinese steal our stuff constantly. I know several people who have invented things, sent them overseas to be manufactured, only to see clones within months selling on Amazon from Chinese companies. Americans need to stand up and put an end to this nonsense. DONT buy their crappy knock off products, and lets all work on stopping companies hiring them to build our stuff. I wonder, if forced, could the Chinese actually INVENT something of their own? Currently their batting average is garbage.
If Apple lose ( enough ) customers, they won't have a profit margin unless they hike the prices... losing too many customers will turn off iOS app developers...
The average customer doesn't care about profit margins ( unless they are being noticeably ripped off ).
iirc Huawei is the only Smartphone manufacturer without a hardware backdoor.It looks good so you ignore that they are a security risk. Easy way for China to spy on people
That's pretty good considering the P10 has dual cameras that are f/2.2 and f/1.9. But I have to wonder how big the image sensors are, and the overall image quality when compared to the iPhone? For me personally the bump is a design annoyance, but since I always use a case anyway because I have a toddler and baby with grabby hands, it's something that I easily forget about.Yeah…iPhone 6/6s/7.
Except that…Huawei seems to have been able to manage getting the camera FLUSH in the rear.

Not something it seems Apple can or is willing to do. Which makes these iPhones (of which I own the 6s+) still so GD fugly to me.

No, but “Designed in China” is inferior to “Designed by Apple in California” in the public’s eyes. At least the US public.
It has an odd name which cannot be phoenetically deciphered by an English speaker.
It’s appears to be an iPhone knock-off.
Where’s the store where you can walk in and pick one up?
Where do you go for service?
This is a phone for Asian markets where there are a lot of people looking for a good-looking, fashionable device, which may or may not even be all that good, at an affordable price. That’s not the USA.
The photo used in this MR news thread is actually for the P10 Lite. There are three models. P10, P10 Plus and the P10 Lite.That's pretty good considering the P10 has dual cameras that are f/2.2 and f/1.9.

However, I'd take a camera bump over having an ugly logo on the front and fingerprint scanner on the back. I keep hoping those rear Touch ID rumors are bogus…blah!
Yeah, the toddler is pretty good now. Still a learning curve, and the baby doesn't know. They also tend to knock things off accidentally. I also have a workshop now at my new house, so it's good to have a case on my phone when I'm setting it down out there working on stuff.The photo used in this MR news thread is actually for the P10 Lite. There are three models. P10, P10 Plus and the P10 Lite.
Both the P10 and the P10 Plus have actual home buttons. The logo is on the back.
I don't know much about phone cameras, just that more megapixels is a good thing. However, both the P10 and the P10 Plus use dual Leica cameras and are 20MP (I guess that's good?).
Anyway, the bump on the iPhone since the 6 has annoyed me and as I DON'T use cases (ever) it has remained a consistant irritant for me.
We do have kids as well, both older now, but they learned boundaries early. Not having a case has never been a problem.
No worries!Whew that was a lot. SORRY! I'm passionate about photography and teaching others.

Iphones are becoming just another smartphone brand with nothing special about them. The status symbol or what people think they are getting with an iPhone or Apple Product seems to be diminishing. I actually thats how it should be with all products except really expensive items.
Then you'll likely never buy anything!I will never buy anything from a Chinese company.
Not too sure how much more you can do differently.
So the speaker holes are oval. Even if they’d made them ciruclar would it have been a big deal? People have been making round speakers and round speaker holes for years.
Edges, they surely have to be sharp, chamfered or rounded. Not a lot of choice to distinguish themselves there.
Oval plug hole in the centre. Big deal it follows the shape of the plug - what else did you expect?
It’s a slab with a screen on the front, how much variation do you expect? I mean really. Phones don’t look similar to the iPhone because of what Apple did. They also look that way because there are only so many things you can do within the realms of smart phone design.
Guess what cars still have a wheel at each corner, glass on the front back and sides and doors to facilitate entry. There are only so many changes you can make.
In theory that is true. However, to-date there is zero evidence that there are a significant number of iOS to other OS smartphones. Most iPhone users feel locked in, happy or not. It's a lot of work to switch platforms. Moreover, Apple has demonstrated it posses something the other manufacturers do not have -- pricing power. The people buying the Huawei's of the world are price sensitive. They aren't going to attract an iPhone user. Maybe LG.
This is not a strong argument though. Every manufacture has the same constraint, yet many of them came up with different designs. In this case, Huawei is just being lazy for maybe copy the iPhone on purpose to have that brand recognition effect.
Look at all the major upgrade from Apple for example. You can tell a big different in term of design and look from iPhone 3, 4, 5, 6. 7 isn't a major upgrade.
Look at others like LG, Sony, etc. Their phone look very different from iPhone.
On a more generic note, look at all the prestigious car brands like Ferraris, Bugati, Aston, etc they all have the same constraint as Toyota and Honda, yet their designs look vastly different from everyone else. Each one is a unique piece of art.
Honestly, until these brands can make the same profit numbers as the iPhone who cares. They can outsell on unit volume all day, every day. If they can't challenge Apple where it hurts it's just ink on paper (or "on" pixels on screen). That is the only "catch up" number that really matters. And Huawei is truly in a tier or two below from Apple. Completely different market.
But they're not.....
Nope, because you have to buy an iPhone to get iOS.
Android is the one that's in trouble of becoming just another smartphone because most Android phones are essentially the same. If you're not Samsung, you're dead in the water.
Not yet... Past success doesn't ensure future success...

No. The fact some can't pronounce the name has no influence on sales.It's an awkward name for English speaking countries. Like Hyundai. They overcame the name but it worked against them at the start.

Ever try using one...? Exactly. Huawai doesn't make a good phone. Those who can afford better phones, buy better phones.
