Huawei was this close to making the perfect 16:9 phone, now, in 2026. I would have gladly used all my apps in a half broken Android VM (they no longer use Android themselves).
It's too bad they had to be extreme about it and ruin it with a huge screen and a 5:3 aspect ratio. it's almost a cube.

- jazzyjackson 15d agoPersonally I like the 21:9 ratio of Sony’s Xperia 1. Big but skinny enough to reach my thumb across.
- belowavgiq 13d agoI agree, I like both. Thankfully for us, both are dead and the only options left are 19.5:9 or 20:9. Hooray!
- geokon 15d agoIsn't HarmonyOS a fork of Android? I've never seen anything about the apps being half broken - do you have more info?
- belowavgiq 13d agoThe newer versions of are no longer based on Android. So it's either quirky VMs with hundreds of papercuts or nothing. Huawei Global is still a thing, and in some markets they keep releasing phones using Android 12 and no GMS. That is probably even worse.
