Huawei Admits It Has Been Using Less Efficient Memory Chips In Its Flagship Phone


Earlier this month, we reported that Huawei might have been using different memory chips for its flagship smartphone. 
This was confirmed by the company's mobile chief, who said that Huawei used a
mix of less efficient eMMC flash memory cards and high-performance Universal Flash Storage (UFS) cards in its latest P10 phone "due to severe shortage in the supply chain."
Since there is quite a performance difference between these chips, users are not very happy that Huawei is cutting corners and have been complaining since the story first went live. 
Huawei's mobile chief, Richard Yu, has now admitted that the controversy over the phones' memory performance was a "wake-up call" that provided a "profound lesson." He also said that he had previously reacted to consumers "in an arrogant way."
While he did apology, we don't know if this practice will continue, or Huawei will now use only the UFS 2.1 chips.
