It doesn't have Aptx or Aptx HD but neither did my S20+ (because it was Exynos and those are only supported on QC chips). My momentum tw2 sound just as good here as they did on the S20+. I'm not sure about LDAC since I don't own anything with it

Daniel, 24 Oct 2020Because some of us are tired of Sammy and Apple, that's why. And also because some of us ... moreNo GMS is probably OK but no Widevine L1 (only L3), lack of some audio codecs (for improved audio quality), and lack of app support are a sore omission. Had Huaweis had those then it would have been great phones.
dgg, 24 Oct 2020not sure why huawei reviews are still of interest, no play store means no go for me. Is someon... moreBecause their devices are awesome ? An some of us hate Samsung (with all its bloat) and overhyped features that don't work most of the times, and only check boxes on paper. Or the walled in garden that Apple is. And if Huawei not having GMS hasn't rung any alarm bells for you when it comes to your dependence on Google then maybe it should. That being said Appgallery is growing , it still needs polish and there are other reputable stores out there that can sever your needs. Even my bank's homebank and contactless payment software is now on Appgallery.

dgg, 24 Oct 2020not sure why huawei reviews are still of interest, no play store means no go for me. Is someon... moreBecause some of us are tired of Sammy and Apple, that's why. And also because some of us really prefer not to have GMS, like myself. And last but not least, their devices are extremely good so that's why.
dgg, 24 Oct 2020not sure why huawei reviews are still of interest, no play store means no go for me. Is someon... moreI will happily get it. Look, I have a Vivo, and they share an app store. Basically Vivo App store = AppGallery. There are apps there that arent even on Google Play Store, and updates are prompt too!
Maybe open up your mind a little bit.

Is someon... moreDon't worry for huawei they have huawei store is all the same like play store and you can install all applications and game only you cant install is youtube, but they have youtube vanced is better than original youtube because you can listen music in background with screen off...
Don't worry...
dgg, 24 Oct 2020not sure why huawei reviews are still of interest, no play store means no go for me. Is someon... moreYes, people will buy it. Some will use it without the play store and obtain their apps through alternative means i.e. petal search, other app stores and app repositories. Some will install GMS on their phones. It's a hack but it works and there are plenty of guides on the internet to show people how it's done. And it only takes 10-15 minutes.
not sure why huawei reviews are still of interest, no play store means no go for me. Is someone still going to buy this flagship with limited access to apps? why....

No matter Google, iOS or whatever u use or uses, U ARE BEING TRACKED ALL THE WAY and best thing is.....u allowed that to be.
If not, dun use ANY electronic devices AT ALL!

So what's the difference between them and the already insane US govt?

You have Google definitely following you, Facebook and Twitter at least trying to. Someone malicious working for those companies is far more likely to gain from access to your data than somebody in China. And we know from past events that, for instance, Facebook security sometimes goes wrong.
The main reason for not buying Huawei if you live in the West is the commercial risk of it not being supported by 2021.

Anyhow these phones tend to get a ROM without all the Chinese stuff when sold outside china, unless you import one directly from them.
Seems that this is the last Huawei Flagship with a Kirin Processor
