Chinese flagship phones are dead. Get them at your own risk only if you can import from China. Otherwise at those pricing, just get an iPhone and stay blessed.
It goes without saying that Samsung is by and large the most capable smartphone hardware maker. But unfortunately under current leadership, they would never utilize that potential and concentrate on copying iOS status bar icons instead.
Remember S4 Zoom with continuous optical zoom? Huawei does it this time, but the variable zoom module comes with a magnetic attachment, so you can remove it when you don't need it. So the device itself isn't bulky. Quite clever I would say.
If you were looking for OnePlus 16, Find X10 is the closest you can get. It comes with OnePlus goodness now.

Summary of Apple event: You're gonna see a lot of chinese phones with:
1. Variable aperture
2. iPhone Duo design (1:1 copy)
3. iPhone Duo folding animations
4. Xiaomi/Oppo/Vivo folds suddenly becoming Xiaomi/Oppo/Vivo Duo
5. Under display camera
Variable aperture is useless on phones. For a 1/1.3" tiny sensor, f/1.4-4.0 isn't "hardware portrait mode". Here f/1.4 is ~f/5.0 on full frame, which is already dim & lacks bokeh. In daylight, you can just reduce shutter speed instead of triggering f/4.0 & phones already do that.
By the time the brands have started to fool the users with their flashy marketing, keep in mind that a low resolution larger sensor is still way better.
