Not trolling at all...the other thread is not just about phones but a general security threat thread. You started that thread.
I work in cyber security for a fortune 500 investment firm and have been in infosec for 20 years. There are so many things out there that all point to Huawei being tied to a very suppressive communist government. From their past to the very present...they can't be trusted.
Phones are a big hobby of mine. I go through at least 10 phones a year. That number is small now because I used to get EVERY phone that was released. In the past I would buy 18-20 phones a year.
I have had numerous Huawei phones and consider them to be awesome phones. Build quality and performance is top notch imho. They last Huawei phones were the Mate 10 and P10 Pro great phones. Not a fan of the EMUI Android skin they use. But maybe it has evolved since then.
Then I don't care where my phones are made to be honest. I am well aware that iPhones are made in China.
I have nothing against China or its people. No prejudice or bias against them or I would not buy iPhones knowing they are assembled and manufactured in China by different companies. I have friends and work colleagues of Chinese and Asian decent. No issue there...they would be amused to hear someone thought I was biased against them to say the least! LOL Also those work colleagues i speak of all share they same opinion of Huawei I do
Then to be honest I would gladly buy the P30 Pro and upcoming Mate 40. They lead the industry in smartphone cameras.
But i don't trust the company.
