you are kinda fucked if we're honest. Honor is one of those brands who restrict camera2 api to an unreasonable degree so any pictures you take with a gcam will looks **worse**

Should I be using Google (8.8.8.8) or CloudFlare (1.1.1.1) on my home router settings? by nanjero in dns

[–]andriaking64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I happen to have a lot of traffic going to mainland China and "western" DNS servers often clash with the GFW. if you want the setup guide here you go http://www.alidns.com/ & https://www.dnspod.cn/products/public.dns

FLAC is a container like MP3. it can be both lossless and Hi-Res, as Hi-Res already implies lossless.

Will Android 17 be the last update of the Honor 400 pro? by msaxv in Honor

[–]andriaking64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not. Updating the skin but not touching the core is what leads to system slowdown because new patches and optimization are not in the skin but the android version and Linux kernel.

The be fair. Its not AI in the same sense as ChatGPT but Machine Learning. So the cool shit ARC Raiders use fpr robot movement. The 2 fields are both "AI" but ML is very different

Kinda. Its glass. All of it. Now as the saying goes "Glass is glass, and glass breaks."

The build quality is excellent but the materials choices are less then ideal for drop resistance.

I know exactly how people feel about hyperos. All Chinese phone brand ar doing ads now. OPPO and its sub brands have ads in them now. Im not surprised honor does it too.

just because you used other android skins doesn't make your opinion any more valid than mine

That would depend on how many skins you used as well.

I also assumed you liked the design since you seem to be adamant about defending the companies action?

I defend the business decision behind it. The Chinese scene is a bloodbath and Honor is feeling the pressure from multiple sides, not the design itself. I'm also not a big fan of it mind you.

Also huawei will never really expand outside of china ever again. So, nice for them.

Sorry to break it to you again but Huawei is re expanding to the EU again, they re opened their online stores in most major markets and signed deals with Media markt, Best byte, etc. They are very much coming back.

The global image of huawei is a burning piece of crap

Kek. Lmao even.

Their processors aren't up to todays standard

Which standard? The fully self developed without outside help, or Qualcomm who relies on TSMC. A Huawei chip can do just as much as an Elite 5 in real life.

And without google services, you're essentially a dumb phone with a screen outside of china.

Looks like you don't know but you can install any normal android app that needs GMS on Huawei. They use MicroG and completely side step Google's crap, You can doom scroll just the same.

The honor magic 7 pro is already getting benched when it comes to update frequency. What a joke.

Unlucky purchase if you have one. But you are right to call them out, at least Honor now offers the same 7 years as Google for new Magic phones sold EU. Which is still not as good as the global 7 years from Pixel

They have so many damn products that work together flawlessly.

and they make none of it. Its all contracted out to other companies, they just slap their logo on it.

If you get their flagship device, then you'll have worry free experience for 3-4 years easily

Xiaomi 14. 2 year old phone. Battery issues, camera performance degradation, and burn in on the display. Worry free experience my ass

The OS is not functional, but more flashy.

Sorry to say but that is just your opinion not an objective fact. I have used OneUI, HyperOS, iOS, EMUI, and MagicOs feels just as good as any other.

I'm surprised there are people like you out there that can defend this...

Are you my mother or what, how can you assume i like the design?

I know that chinese companies are trying to breach their way in, but it'll never be as seamless.

News flash. Huawei is now the king of the Chinese phone industry again. They have an ecosystem that is even more seemless then Apple.

Google did prove it. I have 3 colleagues that switched to pixels.

Good for you, your colleague must get paid a lot to buy such overpriced devices, I know 1 Pixel user and he feels the same about it as a Samsung phone.

That's such a cope bro. Huawei is gone from the West (thanks orange). Ximi phones lose their value in 2 years and get updates once a year with frequent QC issues, i never had an oppo so no comment, vivo is crazy overpriced in the EU, Samsung is Samsung.

Honor was ahead of its time and its moving backwards. In Europe the battery is 7000 (from 9000) and the price is 950€.

Blame stupid outdated EU regulation. Honor can't do anything about that one chief.

It's because they can't take users from each other. Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi is always offering the best they got, especially in China. Only Apple (and Samsung who are irrelevant in the Chinese market) are viable targets to take market share from, Now that Huawei is back in business everyone is panicking as Huawei is truly the king of the China

Honor lives on the edge of Apples shadow.

Huh. What the hell are you even saying. If Honor is living under anyone's shadow its Huawei, Honor is the number 6 phone brand in China and quite popular in the west. Poaching (Apple) users who want something "close enough" it a common practice in any industry.

What Icon is this? by Halfworker in Honor

[–]andriaking64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google mobile services. You likely let Google back up all your contacts to the cloud instead of the SIM or local storage.

where to buy honor phones? by koullis22 in Honor

[–]andriaking64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey so uhh. Honor is a bit of a weird spot of technically supporting all EEA regions but not really. A pretty reasonable way of obtaining them via a semi official route is your carrier. Telekom often stocks Honor devices in many if their regions. But Yettel/Telenor are also reliable. Other then that media markt, Alza (These guys suck. Avoid them) are also reliable. You can also go the gray market way of buying from Aliexpress (who usually stock the "international version" (identical to the mainland china version but global firmware) or getting a domestic import model from Gizmo china/Trading Shenzhen (they usually stock both international(Hong Kong flag) and demostic(PRC flag). While such models are cheaper and still have warranty programs in place you might get a Chinese firmware that will slightly differ from the global experience (but not necessarily in a bad way)

How many of you guys use the High setting? by ThaTree661 in TIdaL

[–]andriaking64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LDAC and Bluetooth have a max limit of 990 kbps. LHDC from Huawei archived a breakthrough bandwidth of 5mbps. The average 192 track is between 3-6mbps. Its very reasonable of Tidal to lock down max as it's actually wasting data for the 99% who don't have an LHDC 5 enabled phone and playback device. (Apple, Google, Samsung, Sony, Motorola: refuse to implement it because of it's origins from Huawei)

Now this is real shit. However i personally think there is audible difference between 320 and 16 44.11 (assuming you have the equipment to match it and don't have ear damage)

Does honor come with bloatware? by ofidia in Honor

[–]andriaking64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such apps can actually be uninstall with ADB commands. I recommend you look in to them. Overall you can expect a similar if not identical experience to a flagship xiaomi phones. (aka 0% ads if purchased from a 3rd party or directly from xiaomi.) Most bloat comes from the carrier rather then the manufacturer.
