Facial recognition was perhaps the most talked-about feature of the new iPhone, but the folks at Huawei aren't impressed.

The company laughed at Apple in a Facebook video that served as a reminder that Huawei, too, has a new phone coming.

In the video, Huawei dubs their new device #TheRealAIPhone.

"Let's face it, facial recognition isn't for everyone," the company's Facebook message says.

Huawei launches the Mate 10 in October, so I suppose we'll then see how much it lives up to the video's promise.
