I tested the Banned Huawei Products.

A mid-range feeling tablet that only becomes impressive when paired with other Huawei devices, rated 6 out of 10 on its own.

Cheap AirPods-style earbuds that sound surprisingly good and last 40 hours, held back only by a fiddly setup.

Wacky-looking earbuds with good software and clever tech, but uncomfortable and not worth three and a half times the price of the SE 2.

Dual-driver top-end earbuds with a big step up in sound and isolation, let down by a glossy finish and middling battery life.

A round, good-looking smartwatch with excellent week-long battery life, held back by a limited app store and inconsistent apps.

The smaller GT 4 is shown as the better fit for him in looks than the 46mm, but he wore the 46mm for testing.

A decadent-looking flagship with excellent cameras, though it uses a nerfed 4G Qualcomm chip.

The nicest phone he has held, with brilliant hardware and software, and a surprise in-house 5G Kirin chip, though app support remains janky.

Used as a camera benchmark, where Huawei shows it hasn't fallen behind.
