Also have an older Huawei with an excellent Leica camera, better than the new iphone's I believe. It is also faster and more fuzz free than Samsung. Also the S8 had an always-on function, even if you switched it to 'off'.

From the article:
"The move comes after the Trump administration added Huawei to a list of companies that American firms cannot trade with unless they have a licence."

Ah Huawei is on the Trump 'blacklist'. Trump's decrete justified by "national emergency"?
Good old blackmailing and trying to keep up the hegemony, are you? As far as i read there is still no evidence of spying by Huawei, but there is a lot about spying by Google and US companies.

So the US government telling me what i may use or not?
From ad placements tailored to your habits and showing only what they want you to see, to closely follow everything you do, the wet dream for exploitation and surveillance. And now the US government interferes with free business, isn't that.. [gasp] socialism?

Having only one service worldwide for almost all smartphone apps (sans Apple) sucks already big time.
Well i guess we have to get rid of Google sooner or later anyway. They never were the good guys but their methods stink to high heavens.
