One of the key features that Huawei introduced was a triple-lens camera on its P20 Pro, which was launched last year.
“For the next 12 months, the iPhone lacks one of the most appealing features of current winners in the Chinese smartphone market, the triple lens camera. The Huawei P20 Pro led the march and other Chinese manufacturers are all scrambling to follow suit as it has been so popular,” Neil Campling, head of technology, media, and telecommunications research at Mirabaud Securities, told CNBC by email.
The next battleground
Chinese smartphone users are already thinking about the future of their devices. While major manufacturers like Huawei and Samsung are releasing foldable phones and quad-camera handsets, devices that support 5G — the next generation of mobile connectivity — could be the next big feature consumers are looking for.
The tech promises super-fast internet speeds and Samsung and Huawei both plan to release smartphones next year that will be compatible with it. Major telecommunications providers in China, including China Mobile and China Telecom, plan to begin rolling out 5G in 2019.
Apple, however, is unlikely to release a 5G-capable phone until 2020 at the earliest, according to a report from Bloomberg in December.
For Gallon Zhang, a Guangzhou-based iPhone XS Max user, that could be a deal breaker. He said he’s used iPhones for several years, but would consider switching to Huawei if Apple didn’t bring out a 5G version soon.
“Currently, China is updating internet to 5G, so I probably would buy a 5G iPhone since I need fast speed. I know currently Apple said that they didn’t want to upgrade to 5G phones yet, so you will buy Huawei instead if they come first with the 5G phone because I know they will have a new one,” Zhang told CNBC.

Knock offs to buy cheap - like androids here.
Unless Apple comes up with a iPhone that can talk to the dead, they are toast.............
The Chinese have stolen all the technology and making their own smart phones for sale. Who would have thunk that a Chinese manufacturer could produce similar products that blend the technologies of several companies and mass produce and sell them for less?
Polaroid
Walkman
Palm Pilot
iPhone?
-WSJ
They have run out of iDeas.................
Yes. Apple products are way overpriced.
So which smart phone has the best security?
In my view they never recovered from losing S Jobs. They have been treading water since. They used to innovate and disrupt. Plus they have twink SJW running the company. Jobs was a lib but kept it outside the company he New better than to alienate half of the country.
Regardless of one’s opinion of the iPhone, it’s foolish to buy any Huawei product. You are inviting the PRC into your network.
“You are inviting the PRC into your network.”
When you use an electronic device, you might be spied upon.
Type wisely.
Once the iPhones with decent amount of storage was priced over $600, I was out. Now I only buy a new one if mine goes dead and I cannot recover it. A phone shouldn’t cost the same as a laptop computer.
It’s not just what you type, or take pictures or videos of.
Your smart phones can be turned on without you knowing and record and take pictures or videos and upload it all whenever the folks with access to such want it to do so. And some phones do it randomly automatically, even from “power off” status.
Sounds like the Apple Cult may be in trouble in China.
When will those realities hit the Euro trash countries and America?
“In my view they never recovered from losing S Jobs. They have been treading water since. They used to innovate and disrupt. Plus they have twink SJW running the company. Jobs was a lib but kept it outside the company he New better than to alienate half of the country.”
Apple’s CEO is more interested in pushing the gay agenda and the anti Trump agenda than his business.
In the near future, surviving Business schools will document how many CEO’s including the owners of the NFL/Apple/? came close to destroying their companies with their liberal attacks against America and those who love America.
Many have started the destruction of their businesses with their vile attacks on those who live a positive lifestyle instead of a self destructive one!
Politics at its very core embodies the selective. i.e., once a political position is stated you have to account that you are now on the opposite side of 50% of all current, as well as potential customers. Sometimes the numbers can be higher.
But that’s the rule-of-thumb. That’s why it used to be the absolute last thing any CEO worth-their-salt would argue publicly, let alone place its business and customers directly into any political fray.
It would seem many of these CEO’s like Apple’s, forgot they were in the business of business – not the business of politics. Many have a sinking suspicion the price they are going to pay both in reputation, as well as share holder condemnation will be legend.
What we now call a “phone” is, in reality, a pocket-sized super computer. New premium smartphones are many thousands of times more powerful, than desktop computers of the 1980’s. Actually, they are “millions of times more powerful than all of NASA’s combined computing in 1969”.

That said, I admit that new iPhones (or ‘flagship’ Android phones) are out of my price range — I opt for about 3 year old tech (still pocket super-computers).
A drug dealer's phone was snatched in Venezuela from a Columbian drug lord - in that phone was the numbers of 2 US Senators with a monthly call history... several congressmen with a monthly call history, dozens of low level workers, assistants, family members, Chavez, important people in Columbia, and even phone numbers to government officials in Europe and Russia. The message was transmitted and the DIA officer at post was moved overnight without a word - the electronic investigation consisted of inquiry of those who handled the cable from post and all said they dispatched but did not read.... The Congressmen, Senators and Mayors of city's who called and were called by the drug lord were democrats, the two were on the Intel Committee and Oversight thus they buried it and the soldier who did the field report. Corruption. A phone is better than the internet because it cannot be deleted.
