You did not even want the quote above to make sure that’s a Queen reference, however anyway.
Huawei is certainly attempting to interrupt free – from the US of A, from Android, from sanctions, from something that’s holding it down – and it appears that evidently it is succeeding to date.
Mere days in the past, the Chinese language large introduced the Huawei Mate 70 collection: a clean-cut divorce from Android and the USA.
Yup, you learn that accurately: there is a non-iOS telephone on the market that does not assist Android apps.
Wait, what?

Huawei has unveiled its Mate 70 collection, marking a major departure from US expertise in each {hardware} and software program. The lineup contains 4 fashions:
- Mate 70
- Mate 70 Professional
- Mate 70 Professional+
- Mate 70 RS
I am not going to debate these in an excessive amount of element; they arrive with distinctive designs with massive digital camera islands and assorted show choices, starting from 6.7 to six.9-inch OLED screens with adaptive refresh charges. Powered probably by the Kirin 9100 chip manufactured by SMIC on a 6nm course of, the units boast spectacular digital camera techniques with superior sensor applied sciences, together with a novel spectral imaging sensor for colour accuracy.
Crucial factor is the transition to HarmonyOS NEXT, Huawei’s proprietary working system utterly impartial of Android. This transfer displays Huawei’s response to US sanctions, enabling the corporate to create a self-sufficient ecosystem with round 15,000 native apps. Their purpose is to have 100,000 apps within the subsequent six to 12 months, although.
The aforementioned fashions are usually not out there internationally, however that is irrelevant. The purpose is that the Mate 70 collection demonstrates Huawei’s resilience.
A technological Declaration of Independence

I am not going to sit down right here and mislead you that I am going to rush to get the Huawei Mate 70, as a result of I will not. I am not shopping for it.Nonetheless, I am unable to deny that Huawei’s newest Mate 70 collection emerges as greater than only a smartphone lineup; to me, it is extra of a press release of technological sovereignty. Born from years of US sanctions that sought to restrict the corporate’s world attain, these units (Mate 70, the Pura 70 line, and final 12 months’s Mate 60 Professional, the primary 5G-capable telephone in three years) characterize a exceptional journey of resilience and innovation.
Okay, so the chipset is being restricted to a 6nm manufacturing course of – in comparison with opponents’ extra superior 3nm chips – Huawei has centered on delivering significant innovation. The Mate 70 collection boasts spectacular specs like substantial battery capacities, ultra-fast charging, and complicated digital camera applied sciences.
The Mate 70 collection shouldn’t be off to a very sturdy begin, in comparison with final 12 months’s Mate 60 line. That does not hassle me, to be frank. It isn’t an epic fail for Huawei. You already know the outdated saying about attempting and failing… and the way failing it is higher than not attempting in any respect.
Exhibiting respect the place respect is due

It is an entire new world and I find it irresistible.
I am standing right here at Android citadel. On the different aspect of the hill, it is the iOS citadel. It does not actually matter which workforce you are cheering for on the finish of the day, since our iPhones and Androids can do just about the identical issues. Effectively, usually talking.
In actual fact, they begin to look (and really feel) an increasing number of the identical.
Not cool.
That is why I can not not respect Huawei’s braveness to go its personal method and ditch Android. In fact, my disappointment will likely be immeasurable and my day will likely be ruined if it seems that Huawei is just copying Android at each flip.
Did you hear that, Huawei? Put that vacuum cleaner down, take the wig off and listen to me out.
