@ 3mel - 21.03.21 - 11:01pm I think it could've been about security, that maybe 3 letter agencies couldn't find any exploits for Huawei tech on 5G infrastructure and didn't like that at all. the lengths Huawei were prepared to go to and did go to satisfy the US government, the fact that it made no difference makes me suspicious the other way around entirely. Indeed! I think they really got scared at just how far ahead China had advanced, Huawei was and is a symbol of Chinese progression, considering how far ahead their 5G tech is and efficiency they work at, it most definitely had the US worried. However I feel as though the US has further empowered China with the Huawei ban as now the Chinese OEMs will all be looking inward to find ways around any sort of ban. I hear that Meizu is now making a deal with Huawei to use their HMS Core in case they also get banned by the USA. I would not be surprised if OPPO, XIAOMI, OnePlus and Vivo do the same thing. |

The day all the chinese phone manufacturers get banned in the West as a whole, Uk included, will be the day iam convinced the move was made entirely for security reasons, but untill that day my opinion stands firm.

I recently purchased a Huawei phone in the Uk so clearly our Government dont have an issue with their consumer products, even if we are in the process of gradually removing them from our network infrastructure.

@ banbury - 26.03.21 - 03:33am I recently purchased a Huawei phone in the Uk so clearly our Government dont have an issue with their consumer products, even if we are in the process of gradually removing them from our network infrastructure. Exact the same thing happening here in South Africa. I see some of our fiber internet providers have stopped using Huawei routers and replaced them with Nokia ones, but others are still using Huawei routers and Huawei phones are still sold here with the Mate 40 Pro becoming available right now hence I got it for review. I also still have the P40 Pro and P40 Lite and I see there is still people buying these phones in sizable numbers. |

Yes over here they are dealing with Ericsson and Nokia. The only Huawei phone not available here is probably the Mate 40 Pro Plus. but maybe that wasn't targeted for Europe anyway? Iam sure you know more about that side than me. the camera system on the Plus model has a marginally higher DXO mark score not a huge difference.

The Mate 40 Pro is not as widely available as other Huawei models in the Uk though, usually only at specialist phone dealers.

The only large mainstream phone company stocking the Mate 40 Pro here is the mobile operator EE, and even then it's only available in limited numbers. I assume EE must have got a good deal with Huawei. none of the other mobile operators in the uk have bothered with the Mate 40 Pro just stocking the P40 Pro instead. just an observation I have made and thats the same scenario with the large retailers too like Argos.
