In november 2020Hua xuanUnder pressure of external sanctionsGloryThe whole was sold, and the two families moved from “father and son” to a completely independent rival. By 2026, just over five years. Over the past five years, china has risen from the valley of the chip offerings to return to the top of the domestic market; the glory has passed by the bottom of what it left behind, but it has now fallen all the way down, even to the top five。
A lot of people still don't know the difference between china and glory. Who is more durable, more cost-effective and less expensive to choose at the same price? Today, without the words of vanity, the core gaps, the selection logic are explained in the big white, and there is no mistake in buying them。
Let's get this straight
First, there is a mistake for the vast majority: the present glory is not a sub-brand, has no equity connection, does not share core technology and is sold separately。
Instead of playing around, it was to save the glory — the glory of china's restricted chip supply and the death of both families. So, in order to sell the glory to shinshin shenzhen, china’s national finance commission and channels have jointly taken over, and more than 6,000 china’s supply chain, research and development, and channel workers have moved to glory, allowing it to keep the supply chain properly using high-tech, development and development chips。
It was made perfectly clear at the time that there would be a separation of households, and that there would be no separation, and that there would be competition。
So here's the situation:
- china: taking a self-study route, returning cylindrium chips, the hong mon system, quinlon glass, satellite communications, xmage images, all exclusive technologies
- glory: magicos, modified with andre, chips are purchased from outside, without a core of self-study, designs and functions are imitated and do not walk out of their own path。
In short: formerly “father and son” and now “co-worker”, apart from the intersection of early employees, technology, branding and operation are completely different。
5 years of data face-to-face: the gap widens as the share rises and falls
Let's not blow it off. Let's look at the real data of the authorities for 2025-2026。
Hua: the jedi fight back and return to their country
In august 2023, after the sudden return of the mate60 series, the cylindrical chip was reborn with blood, and china was able to launch a direct reverse pattern:
- in 2025, the domestic market share was 16. 4 per cent, exceeding 16. 2 per cent of apples, and it was the first
- single monthly share in january 2026 to 18. 6 per cent, high end + middle end full harvest
- high-end markets of more than $400,000, with apples forming double oligarchs, with a combined share of nearly 80 per cent
- the one-size-fits-all market, with a share of over 70 per cent, and the mate x5 series, with no honor, no rice, no ov combined。
The chinese logic is clear: they build walls by self-study, others can't copy and learn, and users are willing to pay for exclusive functions。
Glory: falling from the top five, the harder it gets
Before the return of china, the honor did take a wave of "replacement dividends":
- in the first quarter of 2024, the share was 17. 1 per cent, depending on the design, operation, which is similar to that of china
- the share of glory has fallen since china opened the mate60 series
- the share fell from 14. 9 per cent in 2024 to 13. 4 per cent in 2025 and fell for the fourth consecutive quarter
- the latest week in 2026, with a share of only 12. 6 per cent, fell directly from the top five and fell into “other” camps。
The most embarrassing thing is that, in order to raise one point, the glory falls one point, completely reverse。
Why? One of the core reasons is that the user wants “the original,” not “the glory”. Once upon a time, china had no chips, and everyone went back to their next choice of glory; now that china has returned with blood, who would like to spend the same amount of money and buy a copycat without core technology
Core hard power comparison: 4 dimensions, who's strong and who's weak
If you don't play with the arguments, you can tell me about the gaps that ordinary people can sense, the things that you care most about buying a mobile phone。
1. Chips and systems: self-study vs outsourcing, bottom logic too poor
• china: full-scale production of cylindrium chips, mate80, pura70 series, all self-researched cylindrical, utilised, signaled, heat-discretioned; hongmong system access to mobile phones, tablets, computers, watches, household electricity, multi-equipment seamlessly connected, three years' non-caton and five years' renewal。
- glory: it is based on kothong, the united nations development programme (undp) and the united nations development programme (undp) and the united nations development programme (undp) and the united nations development programme (undp) that have the same chips as mi and ov, and have no exclusive education; magicos is based on android, which has many functions, but is homogenous, and is easy to use in cardon for a long period of time。
To put it simply: china is “making its own heart, writing its own system”, glory is “buying other people's parts to assemble”, and long-term experience is far from perfect。
2. Monochrome technology: china is a barrier and the glory is all wind
The chinese technology is the only thing anyone can't take away:
- quinlan glass: it's resistant to falling and it's almost intact
- satellite communications: messages, telephone calls, travel, travel, outdoors
- xmage image: real colour, long focus, people, picture without drawing
- super-extension: qinghai lake battery + low-capacity chip, medium use of one full day。
Glory? We either mimic wigand or follow the wind industry
- when someone makes a big battery, it does it; when someone does an ai, it shouts
- fold screens are light, durable and far from mate x5, with a share of about 9 per cent
- the high-end magic series, which has been spitting down "like but worse" with no memory。
3. Price positioning: china is a value premium and glory is based on value for money that's right
- china: over 2,000 yuan, with a high-end machine of 4000-10,000 yuan, and a premium from self-study technology and ecology for those who are suitable for long-term use and quality
- glory: covers between $1,000 and $5,000, which is $500 and $200 less than the size of the configuration, and is affordable and suitable for people with limited budgets and frequent exchanges。
Here, let's remind you not to think that the glory is cheap, that it's less than $2,000, that it's severely water-deflated, and that it's worth 1-2 years, and that it's more than $3,000, at a price close to china's middle machine, and it's far worse。
4. After-sale and preservation: china is more stable and glory is highly volatile
- a large number of shops under the line, a rapid response after sale, a high preservation rate and a good price for two years
- glory: after the sale of the internet, the preservation rate of the high-end machine is low, the price is reduced in the first half of the year, and the user is “lost when it is bought”。
Why did the glory go downhill? Three fatal problems, still unresolved
Glory is not a lack of effort, but a problem at the root, which has not changed in five years。
1. Fuzzy branding: living in the shadow of china
Five years of independence, glory has not been removed from the label of “china for half”。
- designed in the following terms: lens modeling, fuselage configuration, similar to the height of an old chinese machine
- the system is almost the same: operating logic, desktop layout, and hongmong
- user recognition: most of the people who buy glory are headed for the likes of china, and once china returns, all the users are gone。
In comparison to millet, ov: millet has a value for money, an ecological chain, ov has images, designs, only glory, no labels of its own, and others can only say “like china”。
2. Management volatility: change of sight + departure of senior managers, strategic imperative change
At the beginning of 2025, zhao ming, the head of the glorious soul, left office and was replaced by li jian, followed by cmo kang hae-young, the minister of marketing and zheng jiubao, who were connected。
- only two new aircrafts were issued in the first half of the year, and the sales season was missed
- the second half of the year was a one-month operation, which was too complex and user-oriented
- the strategy has moved from a “protocol” to an “ai ecology” to a “off-shore fire relief”, without a long-term orientation。
Management was unstable, products and channels naturally disrupted, and the decline in sales was inevitable。
3. Inadequate r & d inputs: without core technology, priced only
China spends 25 per cent per year on research and development and spends money on chips, systems and images; honour research and development accounts for only 12 per cent, lower than millet。
- no self-study chip, only through the supply chain neck
- there is no exclusive system and the ecology cannot do it
- high-end markets cannot be washed up, with only mid- and low-end internal rolls, and less profit。
Without core technology, there is no right to speak, which is the single most glorious。
Selection guide 2026: different needs, directly copy the answer
When the gap is closed, the most practical selection proposal is given。
It's for these categories
Long-term mobile phones, non-carton for three to five years
2. China is a tablet, a computer, a watch, which requires multi-equipment interconnection
3. Frequent travel and outdoor work requiring satellite communications
To pursue photographing, signaling, durability and be willing to pay for quality
5. Wants to buy a folding screen, pursues experience and preserves value。
Closed-eye selection series: mate series (business durability), pura series (photography), nova series (medium value for money), fold screen x series。
Choose honor. It suits these categories
1. The budget is limited and is limited to aircraft of less than $2,000, converted from one to two years
2. A person who is accustomed to the andreau system and does not wish to use it
3. Student parties, standby aircraft, which do not require high performance and technical requirements
4. Use abroad to honour the better fit of the overseas aircraft。
Closed-eye selection series: x series (thousands of dollars continuous), digital series (middle-end routine), power series (large batteries)。
Absolutely avoid the pit alert
Don't choose honor! The same price can buy china as the medium end machine and experience too much
2. Collapse screens and choose not to be glossy! Persistence and preservation rates are far worse than those of china
Don't believe the phrase “glory is china”, which is now completely different
4. Don ' t be blindly pursuing new opportunities, and the price of the glory new machines will be reduced quickly, and it will be more economical to buy them after one or two months。
At the end of the story: 5 years apart, winning and losing are bound to happen
It's not luck, it's route。
China has fought against the sanctions, studied on its own, returned to its peak from the valley, relying on technology that others can't take away; glory has been built on china's legacy for several years without building its own core competitiveness, which has finally been put back into its original form。
It's like two people: one who learns his own trades and practices, and can stand up even if he encounters difficulties; and one who lives on someone else's name and loses his way when the mountain is gone。
For us ordinary people, the purchase of a mobile phone is not about branding, it is about their own needs: the pursuit of long-term experience, core technology, choice; limited budgets, short-term use and glory。
There's no absolute good, there's just not fit. It would be wiser to spend your own money and buy your own mobile phone。
