Who is Huawei?

Huawei Technologies Communication is a top leading Chinese company specialized in making life enjoyable and easy for people. The company is skilled at producing, designing, and selling gadgets like Phones, Laptops, and other consumer-oriented electronics to the world.

The company was established in 1987 by Ren Zhengei, a visionary businessman. Since then, the company has gone on to have its products in more than 170 countries, overtaking Ericsson as the world's biggest telecommunication producer. Also, they recently became the second-largest producer of smartphones, ousting the likes of Apple and others.

The Manufacturer understands that fingers are not equal; therefore, Huawei has manufactured different types of smartphones that fit into any society regardless of class, religion, or race. The company's first smartphone was C300 in 2004; since then, they've not rested on their laurels. The telecommunication company has produced several high-end smartphones that possess outstanding qualities and features. Unlike the regular android phones, Huawei smartphones have some features that put them in a class of their own, some of which are:

• The Operating system:

 The operating system of a phone is a software coding or programming language that dictates how your device functions, the applications that can work on it, and so on. The OS differentiates one category of phones from another.

Lately, Huawei has been in the media/news for one reason or the other with the US government. With this, they couldn't continue with the normal android OS, so they had to come up with a more independent, better, and faster OS, which was code-named HarmonyOS (EMUI 10). The OS has features and various display formats that are similar to that of android 10.

With the world constantly moving at a fast pace, the android OS might be nearing extinction, but with HarmonyOS/ EMUI, it is nothing to worry about. Mind you; there are still a lot of Huawei smartphones that have the Android operating system.

• The Design:

 Huawei smartphones all have one thing in common, the aesthetic design. Their smartphones give a perfect blend and appealing appearance to their environment. Even the cheapest of their phones have a classy design. For instance, Huawei 40 RS has a sporty car and a curvy bodied design, while the Huawei Nova 7i comes with a smooth edge. In all, they all look cool and great.

Can You Still get Your Favorite Applications on Huawei Phones as they don't Support Google-related Services?

It is no news that a trade ban has been placed on Huawei products by the United States government. Thus, Google being an American company, could not renew its agreement with Huawei. The implication of this is that you may not be able to download some applications like WhatsApp, Facebook, or Gmail from the Google play store on recent Huawei phones.

Like the famous saying- tough times don't last; only tough people do; Huawei has been able to find a partial solution to the problem. The company came up with a home-made alternative app store called the AppGallery. Although the store can download several applications like Tik Tok, Telegram, and the likes, the app still lacks access to those American built apps. Mind you, Huawei is always adding more apps to the AppGallery store.

To get WhatsApp on your recent Huawei model smartphones, you will have to download and launch some alternative app stores called the 3rd party android app store. Examples of some 3rd party android app include APKure, F-Droid, Getjar, Aptoide, APkMirror. Once you've downloaded and installed any of these alternative app stores, you can comfortably use any American- built application on your Huawei smartphone without any restriction.

What is the Cost of a Huawei Phone in the Philippines?

In the Philippines, Huawei smartphones are everyday household products; in 2018, statistics show that 11% of smartphone users use Huawei; only Samsung and Cherry mobile have more. The reason for Hauwei's acceptance in the Philippines is not far-fetched; one, the Huawei device is affordable; it is also compatible with the Filipinos way of life.

Despite the US's trade ban on the company, the Philippines, despite being a US ally, has shown to be committed to the launching of the 5G smartphones. The cost of Huawei phones is mostly dependent on exercise duty, phone specification/ features, intermediaries, location, and other factors. Depending on your budget's size and taste, you can get a more sophisticated Huawei smartphone-like Huwaei Mate 40 pro for 42,990 pesos. In contrast, a simple and more economical Huawei Y6p pro can go for 5,500 pesos.

All in all, a budget between 5000-60,000 pesos will get you an excellent Huawei smartphone.

However, rooting the devices may result in an outright cancellation of the warranty. Meanwhile, if your device gets faulty during the warranty period, Huawei will fix it for you all at no or little cost.

• Affordability:

Affordability was one of the things that Huawei's founder had on his mind when establishing the company. He does not want anyone to miss out on the 21st- century technology due to financial status, race, or location. This is why we have various smartphones that you can pick from.

• Self-built hardware:

Most smartphone manufacturers do not create their hardware independently; instead, they collect CPU from company A, GPU from company B, and the likes. These pieces of hardware collected in a disarray fashion may not work well in harmony. Unlike others, Huawei manufactures every single hardware of their phones. They also take time to ensure that these hardware work perfectly in unison.
