    Yup. I’m glad huawei is starting their own app store, but it def needs some polish. Hopefully they’ll get better in the future, and the trade war has already forced them to start making android forks for smartphones. My xiaomi unfortunately still relies on google play services, which is essentially a dangerous rootkit.

    I agree tho, I def think ppl should choose chinese tech companies for devices, if only for the reason that south korea or elsewhere gets less money.

      The only problem I have with Chinese non-Huawei phones is that they have a lot of ads. Many of them baked into the OS. When I get a phone next I’ll try getting a Chinese phone that has good lineageos support.

      I’m also excited for huawei’s ecosystem seeing that my situation suddenly changed from private consumer to professional (thus why I have the tablet in the first place lol). You can show your phone screen in the tablet and share files by dragging and dropping for example. Or charge up your phone wirelessly by placing it down on the back of the tablet. You can also use huawei share which allows you to send files between devices super fast without using data.

      The only problem though is that they block those functions for their higher end phones. My p30 lite does not communicate with these cool features, and that would force me to change my phone. They say it’s because the cpu is not powerful enough but I don’t believe it, because I found out recently that when I was in a game, I could use the game center to open up WhatsApp on my phone in a (tiny) separate window. They just block it because they want you to have the flagship phone, which is still a third of the price of an iPhone lol. Their PC (windows or Linux) support is also terrible, they only communicate with huawei laptops, which are apparently not their best products and which I don’t need seeing I have a tablet lol. I can still connect the phone or tablet with a USB cable to my PC though, so eh.
