We all love a good comeback story.

Underdog A, who has been beaten up so mercilessly everyone wrote him off for dead, comes back in a surprising move to emerge as the victor.

But hereโ€™s the thing: for something that has been chronicled so frequently in movies, something that has been dismissed by doubters because of its unrealistic proportionsโ€ฆ

Xiaomi, Oppo & Tencent Reportedly Also Trying Out Huawei New OS

By now, you would surely have heard of how Android cut ties with Huawei, and how Huawei sales seemed to suffer as a result.
