Huawei app gallery

The Huawei app gallery doesn't have all the apps that are usually present in google play store or apple app store, however for that, you can download APK file of the app from chrome on the mobile. Alternatively, google play services can also be installed someway, somehow, according to some tech reviewers.

If the phone has Google play framework installed, all you need is an apk file.
If not, then it's a loongggg wayyyy

So I learned something, all iPhones you buy are initially bought from this ”company” called Airlink, so basically, all these online sites that claim to be the authorized dealers are not actually authorized. They are resaler partner, first, they place an order in Airlink for the phone you asked for, then they add their commission and sell it to you.

Easy as that.

[vtecyo]

not necessary, some are imported by individuals as well.

[faakhir19]

[zuhaibafzal]

No its not like that. Airlink just entered in the market with iPhone. Other Authorized partners are working way before Airlink in the market.

Here you go
Paki redmi note 9s variant has same screen retention / temporary burn in issues same as indian variant
Really poor QC

I always say, Chinese mein koi brand lene wala hai to Huawei hai.
Redmis and realmes are not at all reliable.

Huawei was a brand which competed with the top end brands such as Samsung and Apple

[saqibhassan95]

Xiaomi is still competing, but only in "Mi" flagship lineup
Xiaomi Mi 10 pro is neck n neck as compared to huawei p40 pro and s20 ultra, also premium in every aspect
It's redmi lineup that sucks..
Still incase I have to choose between, will go for Samsung now..

[HellsGuardian]

Redmi lineup has been great considering its price. May be this year they released too many redmi phones so obviously quality is compromised

[crossfirex]

I used to act as brand ambassador for Xiaomi when i first bought Redmi Note 2. But later on due to Redmi series problems i left Xiaomi and started using Samsung and Apple
