As a Chinese astronaut shared some pictures from the Space Station. Which showcased the P50 Pro in his hand taking the phone there.
Also, the phone is pictured within a controlled atmosphere of the space station. Take it to outer space and it will likely destroy itself with its own heat due to lack of cooling. These images might suggest that the smartphone is capable of functioning even in space, but that is unlikely. Modern smartphones are designed to be used in Earth’s atmosphere. While certain functions like the camera and touch may work. There is no chance for signal reception and calling.

In the opposite direction, Seres dropped HarmonyOS for Android Auto for its cars sold in Europe. Whereas, in the more fateful way Volkswagen hasn’t limited its options to just Huawei. This seeks a partnership lot more sense for VW with Huawei.
The Chinese EV market is booming and competition is fierce, where Volkswagen’s software is often seen as lagging compared to other EV competitors in China. Even Huawei is now competing with its own car brand in the country. Well, this is starting we expect all to be good.
