I have a P10 Plus. It is now pretty much worthless. £20 if sold to Music Magpie

This is what I don’t get though as the same vintage iPhone (7) in most basic spec still commands £135 on recycling sites!

It's because of the butt fking Huawei are getting at the moment. They've just been banned from making future phones with SD cards. I'll be paying music magpie 20 quid to recycle my phone at this rate

SD cards now... I'm feeling like the US is currently queen cersei and Huawei is now Ned Stark

On the plus side the number of people who can spell Huawei has now increased by 9000%

They just need to sponsor Newcastle United and all will be well.

Huawei the lads!

I gotta say really looking to the next issue of Mobile News.
This is Huawei taking a real kicking.

They probably still can't pronounce it properly though

Honestly is such a shame as they are the only other alternative for good handsets for me without breaking the bank.

I'm sure the older ones will be fine as long as another Android variant is side loaded.

First the black listing, then the ban from American companies like Qualcomm, Intel and Google alongside the new SD card fiasco.

I hope they bounce back and somehow this all fizzles as less competition is only a bad thing.

Currently have a P10 and I'm not really sure what else is out there for the size and money I paid.

They have been on a big charm offensive in the trade press. And it seems to have worked they are regularly featured in Mobile News and comparisons made between their position and expectations and other companies,
Samsung are a frequent - we will overtake them theme. Another was how they compared to Sony. A lot of the articles were very well written and I don't mean they were planted or suspicious.

It was simply that they were a rising star with all to play for. World was their oyster type thing. If this bites then its probably one of the biggest impacts on a manufacturer in ages

Well according to buy/sell sites, my 2 week old P30 Pro is worth £100. Great lol

Even without direct support from Huawei people really wanting later versions of Android etc will just be able to install them via other routes, I'm not worried just yet.

Unfortunately Huawei have now blocked the ability to unlock the bootloader - you used to be able to get unlock codes, and they weren't cheap, but now no one has them for sale anywhere, so you're essentially stuck with the official Huawei roms and won't be able to flash new roms/latest software versions unless they allow bootloaders to be unlocked again. Been looking in to it as my Mrs has a P20 Pro, and to be honest, flashing a new rom will be beyond the scope of the majority of users.

I'll give you £120 for it. Can't say fairer than a 20% premium now, can i?
