I've never used Huawei phones, although I'm not opposed to it. I've used Xiaomi phones though and beyond my small quibble with their system of locking their bootloader behind a one week timer they're fine. (apparently people were loading legitimately harmful ROMs on the phones and reselling them so they made it more annoying to do so)
And if you put me in front of buttons labeled US and China and I have to choose one to spy on me constantly and see all my HD butthole pics, I'm choosing China 100% of the time since I don't live there and they have nearly zero control or influence over my life. I shouldn't be surprised, and I'm not, that Americans (racistly) cry nonstop over "Chinese spyware" which I'm not even discounting as real in some way and to some degree. Of course every country's internal departments love spying on other countries. But the biggest perpetrator of spying in the US and abroad is definitely the US. Every single ISP and all kinds of other companies that have your data consent CONSTANTLY to sharing information willingly with the US government and state governments without subpoena and often without question. Their policy is basically "person says they're law enforcement? Just give the data over." They do not value your privacy or safety at all.
Also there are post-9/11 "shadow courts" (forget the terminology) where they can gag a company who might question the subpoena for your information so they cannot legally inform you like "hey, apparently you posted too many Minecraft memes and some dudes asked for your info." I understand the logic behind why they do so, but I also lean heavily towards "nah, fuck off" when it comes to privacy and civil rights like this. I'm not going to pretend I'm an absolutist here, but I do highly value the idea of privacy and it simply does not exist in the US in any form at all despite the fourth amendment basically because 1) courts said "lol, but the cops said they "need to"" and 2) private corporations ended up controlling access to our most precious and valuable information including stuff from browser history, to online document storage (cloud), to messages like emails and texts, etc., all privatized, all ToS'd into you owning none of it and having no inherent right to demand they not share stuff. It's actually crazy. So I don't want to hear any chuds crying over China when the real threat is the US.
China Observer is coping, full of malding, seething, pissing and shitting.
They buy Scamsung instead which famously doesn’t contain any bloat or ads.
Phones coming out of China are simply better value and cheaper in general.
Better chips. Huawei is still on 7nm which is like 2 generations behind bleeding edge and one generation behind 5nm which is used by most phones.
Also the lack of Google play services which is required for many apps and services.
Other than that idk.
I don't understand why I'm supposed to care about this tho
smartphones for me haven't gotten any better since 2014, that was around the date where you can seamlessly browse any website on a phone, and the screens were pretty big unlike the ones from 2010.
smartphones have not gotten any practically better in the last 10 years, it's just that maybe you can play better video games on them now? I don't exactly want to play league of legends on my phone so I don't care about this.
Ok on a side note, Huawei seems to be struggling with quality control which is bad. But not too different from most phone brands.
Not surprising given they had to rebuild their entire production chain from scratch after the embargos. It's honestly amazing they've been able to get back on their feet this quickly
I'm confused by seeing this everywhere suddenly. Could you explain?
It's a 5 year old meme from the chapotraphouse subreddit.
If you say "Amber" a bot responds with Amber.
I don't even remember, I was there but that was like 4 years ago. The bit just stuck
They are full of bloatware, just like any other android phone out there. Nothing special there. Also, having sensitive data deleted seems to be a lot better than having it stored and leaked lol. What are these people on about
