    Proud owner of Huawei 2018 Matebook X Pro. Beautiful laptop, still running strong today. I put on Manjaro and KDE. I had Huawei products before they were cool

    I would swap to Huawei next time i have to replace my phone but Canada has barred them from 5G networks and will likely further stifle them in the future. By the time I'm changing phones years down the road I expect Huawei won't even be available in Canada.

    What is most likely?

    • Chinese company building better technology that can't be compromised by westoid espionage, or
    • Rebels fighting a high-tech surveillance empire practiced good opsec by relying on analog communication

    Okay, both are likely. I still think the latter is most likely though.

      When I bought my Huawei my reasoning was basically, huawei and potentially chinese authorities might spy on me, however they have no jurisdiction over me and are probably at least a little less likely to comply with requests for warrant less wiretapping by my own government. The google apps are another story unfortunately. But if Hamas are using de-googled phones then that isn’t an issue.

      Edit: I may be remembering wrong but isn’t Huawei barred from including google apps/services due to sanctions anyway?

    I had a bad experience with Chinese phones, because they forced them to use Google apps which somehow made disabling them harder than on western phones (I use Nokia atm - not a great experience, but I explicitly didn't want a Samsung). I'd love to buy a Chinese Linux phone which allows Play apps (my bank requires its app to use banking at all).
