Re: Leica must be getting desperate

Huawei are trying to reposition at the moment.

Samsung and LG were seen as a poor imitator of Sony not all that long ago, how that has changed!

That's why Huawei is pushing out all these very high quality devices.

I really dislike this trying to clone another OS vibe to the software on Huawei though. Android is very, very good and well established. I quite like iOS, but I think Huawei attempting to make Android look like iOS is absolutely pointless and it's quite a poor imitation of iOS too.

I mean, seriously who wants Android skinned to look slightly more like an iPhone!? It's about as sensible as trying to make a Windows machine look like OS X. They're both fine operating systems, but they're quite distinct.

Samsung went through a phase of this in the early days of the Galaxy S too and have only really been standing on their own two feet for the last few versions as a really stand-out product.

Hopefully Huawei sees the success of the 6P and goes with more Android-centric approaches.
