How dare North Korea produce things albeit with less quality instead of importing everything and being economically enslaved?

    The phones come with a pirated copy of Super Mario Galaxy on them. Amazing

            I haven't used one it in a while, it really was a while ago. Maybe the mate 8 or 9? But it left a very good impression. Not buggy, great battery life, very responsive, solid camera. I had no complaints.

          I so want either a Xiaomi or a Huawei when my current iphone dies. I don't think there's any way around the amerikkka bs though

            I'm currently rocking a Xiaomi in the US. People do import them and sell them here and it's pretty good. But it won't be problem free. Some carriers which do IMEI whitelisting might give you a hard time (Verizon did, ended up going with t-mobile), for me visual voicemail doesn't work, and it wasn't all that great of a deal. Most of all though, you need to look at what network bands they support and what your carrier uses or you'll frequently find yourself with poor connection. Fortunately, many of the current Xiaomi models have pretty good network compatility with T-mobile it seems. I used this site.

    cringe of North Korea to take an android phone and remove it's side loading capability so that it can only run apps signed by the manufacturer like the iphone this youtuber uses.

    These people think that North Korea is a medieval society yet somehow has the technical prowess to make smartphones.

    He didn't even talk about the phones. He talked about the DPRK history of phones then moved on to software.

      That’s the thing when it comes to news about North Korea and really any Bad Country. There’s little information in English, so at best they just pivot to irrelevant shit to pad time, or at worst they just make up shit or regurgitate Very Reliable Intelligence Sources
