The crocodile tears have been the best marketing for me. It's going to be way too expensive and probably hamstringed in the west but I still want one.

Their phones are super cool. I actually have a matebook x pro laptop that's been awesome. At the time it had the specs of laptops that typically cost 30-50% more and a really nice design and 3:2 display

When I have need of a new laptop a Matebook is definitely in the running.

In terms of smart phones I used to go through one every nine months or so. I'm not hard on them but something would just give up. I'm typing this comment on a five year old Mate 10 Pro which has got at least a year left if not more. I've had the battery replaced twice and the USB port once but other than those wear items it's a rock solid device.

Hell yeah I love mine. I did have to replace my SSD because it was blue screening, but I had the first edition from like 2018 so I'm assuming they've fixed that issue

Same. That being said i won't be able to afford this high end model even if i do manage to find a way to import it, so i will just wait a few years until they make more mid range models with the same tech. Honestly it's no biggie, i've never been one to go in for the latest phone models and i don't really need a new phone right now anyway, my current one is several years old and still works just fine, and it's a Chinese brand too.

There will certainly be cheaper Mate 60 Lite and a cheaper Honor version or two in the coming months. Previous models have been available in Europe but I can't imagine they sell all that well anymore considering the Google embargo. Doesn't bother me personally but the average user would be lost.

I like the idea of the Honor version, i may keep an eye out and see if it's available in Europe when it comes out and whether it's in my budget, but i usually never buy newest generation tech, i find it's always better to wait a year or so for the next one to come out and the previous one to become more affordable.
