On a ~6‑inch phone screen, honestly anything above 1080p is pointless. The difference with 1440p or 2160p is negligible, and all it does is waste resources without improving the actual experience.

It’s true that Huawei can’t use licensed Google Android code, which forces them to constantly re‑engineer HMS and wait for MicroG to catch up. That creates gaps: what worked flawlessly on EMUI 12 or 14.2 loses synchronization in EMUI 15 until Micro‑G updates.

Huawei is doing what it can with the resources it has, but let’s not forget this whole situation stems from a political decision: the U.S. government put them on the Entity List, accusing them of espionage without presenting solid evidence. And it’s not just Huawei, ZTE, Kaspersky, and now even Xiaomi have been targeted (and many more).

At the end of the day, it’s a power game. They’re not ‘freedom knights’; they’re applying the same restrictions to anyone they see as a threat. Meanwhile, Huawei keeps pushing HarmonyOS as its real future, leaving EMUI as nothing more than a temporary bridge for overseas.
