I have a cheap-ish (certainly compared to iPhones) Huawei and the design and quality of manufacturing is on par with Apple. IMHO, Huawei is going to turn out to be a tougher competitor than Samsung. Edit: I thought this was a mature place... Apparently not. Or you guys all work for Apple.

The Nexus 6P Was not a great phone construction wise.

  hmm, i don't know if i'll agree with that. My Nexus 6P worked flawlessly till i dropped it from 4 ft. on a solid block of metal and the screen broke.

  Sure, but then it boils down to Android v. iOS because Huawei's phones are as nice as classy as Apple's now and the top of the range may have higher specs. Samsung phones have always felt plastic-y to me.

    I disagree. The SoC performance will be worse, and I think the screen too.

  I also won't pay $2k+ CAD for a top of the line Huwaei.

  You don't only get it with Apple. Check out the Nokia 7 plus, or the Honor Play. See what you get for your money there too. Also, not everyone thinks Apple stuff looks that great. Always looks boring to me, like expensive cars. Designed for people with money but no taste.

    You do realize you're talking about featureless slabs of glass, right? Yes, I'm making a joke, but out of all possible objects acquired for reasons of taste, a phone has got to be one of the least personal fashion accessories. I suppose you could always put a colorful case on it.

I've got an Elate and like it. Not my daily device (iPhone SE still) but if the Elate was slightly smaller, it might be my daily device. Was surprised at how good it was for $65.

> the design and quality of manufacturing is on par with Apple You've got to be joking. Huawei is decent for the money but it is not even in the same ballpark as Apple. In the everyday experience of owning and using the device the iPhone is dramatically better in every way imaginable. Just because they managed to put the screen on straight doesn't mean it's a competitor. You're probably being downvoted because it sounds like you've never actually used a high end iPhone. I've encountered many huawei phones in mobile testing and it's simply inconceivable that any educated consumer would prefer them over the Apple offering except for the sole consideration of price.
