Huawei... What does the future hold?


As you all must be aware, Huawei had been blacklisted by Google, and they are not allowed to use google services and apps like the play store, google maps, etc. What does this mean for the company? Is it all over for Huawei? Or did this actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise?

Now that google services have been revoked for the company, Huawei has been trying hard to develop their own ecosystem, in a manner similar to Apple. This was always in the talks, but the focus of the company has always been on the hardware front, trying to get bleeding edge technology to the markets. Now that Google imposed the ban, they had no choice but to give adequate amount of focus to the software part, and start to develop their own apps to replace the lost ones.
They have a large community of developers working to develop apps for their own App Gallery. Also, they have developed their own OS, called the HarmonyOS, also called the Hongmeng OS in China. And are considering this to be a viable alternative to Android. It is an open-source software, meaning apps and features can be readily developed for this software, in a manner similar to Android.


If this indeed becomes a suitable alternative, we may be looking at a new market leader slowly emerging. Huawei, has consistently provided amazing hardware, with flagship grade performance. The Mate series, is always on the top of the innovation spectrum. The partnership with Leica, has steadily given us the top notch camera performance, with Huawei almost consistently being one of the best camera phones in the market, alongside the Google Pixel. Now with their own software, their own app ecosystem, and their own Kirin processors, we may be looking at a formidable force, emerging really soon. Of-course, for them to be able to compete, we have to see how these devices connect to the existing android and ios devices out there.

Things surely are interesting, very interesting for Huawei.

The Samsung Story...

Samsung, a one of the most reputed companies in the smartphone industry, has also been a victim of a lot of criticism by people. Past experiences with this company have led to people losing faith in the company, but recent innovations have also got a lot of them coming back, and happier than ever. Here we take a look at our thoughts of this company, and what kind of a place this company holds in the market. In the past, in the mid range and budget market, Samsung phones were not up to the mark. They were seriously under-powered, and had almost nothing to offer which other brands weren't providing, and at much lower prices. Companies like Xiaomi, Honor, Realme, provided much better phones, with superior hardware. Even on the software front, Samsung wasn't as great. Companies like Motorola provided a stock android experience, while the Experience UI by Samsung was full of bloatware and was pretty laggy. I'm talking specifically about the J and the ON series. They...

Realme... A formidable player?

All of us know that Realme has been making some amazing smartphones at some really affordable prices. Their phones have really been the buzz around town, and this growth has boomed quite recently. Here we take a look at this company, and why Realme might be the next big brand to watch out for. A sub-brand of Oppo, Realme started off by launching its first phone, the Realme 1, as recently as May 2018. Instantly it became a rage, and the sales numbers of the company even in its recent years were incredible. The company was started as a rival to the vastly popular and the budget king - Xiaomi. The idea was simple, to offer everything that Xiaomi did, and more at a price point which was just as affordable. The phone was instantly a success. They managed to provide a particularly great camera experience, far better than the ones offered by the rival companies in this segment. This appealed to the young crowd, the main target of this budget category, and the company saw great profits by...
