A friend of mine told me last year he would never used any Chinese made phone again in his life. I asked him how about the high-end Chinese phones, he still said no. He didn't state the reason but something told me it has to do with something serious. BTW, the guy is a lawyer.

Honestly it is irritating, that's why they always have issues with the US

It's an open secret that Chinese companies can not be trusted on quality and security issues. But there's a limit you would expect them to go. It does however, seems like they are ready to descend to the lowest hell if that would make profit for them.

At a time when America is mobilising the West not to use China-linked companies in 5G network, and banning Chinese tech like Tiktok, one would expect them to be more accountable. Apparently, they are turning to Africa to continue with their nefarious activities.

Only God knows how many companies are engaged in many of the evils China is exporting.

Norms...even manufacturers can access some of your data if they want.As long as you have apps that can access the internet annnd they have been granted read and write storage permissions.
You can't really do much to protect yourself.Meanwhile google have almost made rooting impossible ?? then how are we supposed to gain an advantage to disable or uninstall these malware .Lemme be going jae

Jailbreaking on iOS is becoming simpler than rooting on android lately...I mean look at iOS 13 jailbreak, although it took time to surface the internet it was as simple as installing an app and clicking on jailbreak even without an Internet connection which reminded me of the days before android 6
Android on the other hand will need a PC and other things just to root,some manufactures like Nokia made it impossible to root without dismantlement the device.

I was never a fan of rooting so I'm less concerned but I don't think it makes android more secured.Its the users decision,the best they could have done was to make it impossible to unroot or use Google services if they are trying to stop people from rooting.

I am still a fan rooting tho..Major one
And you are right ...gaiming root access on android nougat upward is a suicide mission .Googleplay services is one of the device wreckers..it is useful tho ..Just hate seeing it running process...Especially android with 2gb ram less .
Atleast they should make root optional!.Not completely disable it on a device just saying...Although I have my ways of removing stubborn bloatwares and services with pc.Even freezing such apps thanks to those tech savvy on xda forums.

You see why i will always recommend Samsung, iPhone and Nokia anyday anytime twice on Tuesday
those ones u mentioned have their own ways of spying on users. They're all the same. Especially Google.

As long as u go online u have no single bit of privacy
