Given that HONOR is Chinese, they must have cut corners elsewhere. It is entirely impossible that Samsung, the second largest technology company in the world and the most advanced consumer electronics manufacturer, seated in South Korea, is beaten by a Chinese company.
Not at all. Chinese manufacters like honor, huawei have been ahead of samsung for much longer. Be it fast charging, new battery tech, better cooling system, better camera hardware, etc.
If not for sactions huawei was easily No.2 and perhaps even No.1 above apple.

Its large only in size. There has not been any meaningful innovation in samsung at all. Even though they were one 1st to bring foldables it has hardly seen any new development. Mi mix flip, Honor magic V3 are proof of that.
Even their charging speeds are leaps and bounds faster than anything samsung. This misconception about large companies being impossible to beat has fallen many times over. Just look at Nokia, Blackberry as examples.
