I recently bought a new phone from OnePlus and when looking at the specs online, one of the cons was: may leak data to Chinese government.
I hope not, they might find out I’m a commie or something
If you dislike the stock OS, or find it too bloated, you can flash LineageOS anytime. Most of the OnePluses are supported. It’s a way better experience than any stock Android imho.
Except for the camera quality normally, because all of that A.I. assisted image processing is proprietary code.
LMAO
I find it funny when libs say not to buy Chinese phones because they “may” send data to the CPC (because they connect to the internet from time to time, so scary!)
What can the CPC do worse than my own government can’t? Like you should be more scared of the government you live under, not one that’s some 3000 miles away or whatever.
Don’t buy Apple, it leaks data to the CIA.
3000 miles away or whatever
Fun fact, the closest distance from USA to China is still over 7000 miles, the lower 48 is around 3000 miles coast to coast. (Don’t worry, I totally understand the rest of the comment, I just figured I’d provide additional context to point out just how preposterous the original joke is)
Im sure Im already on the CIA’s/FBI’s list, might as well keep using the phone I already have
I paid 250€ for my current Xiaomi and I love it. It’s ridiculous how good the phone is compared to its cheap price. No way I will stop using Chinese phones (especially since the CIA is a lot scarier than the CPC)
I love how, with the Snowden leaks and more, we know definitively that the US government is collecting all our data but people are super scared right now that China might be spying on them.
One thing’s for sure: capitalism seems to be miles ahead of any socialist country when it comes to propagandizing their citizens. Because the best propaganda is the kind that you don’t even know is there.
I might start looking at Xiaomi next… I started with Huawei but they’re getting expensive now. Still very good phones, best camera on the market on the P50 pro at the time, but they’re iPhone prices now
No Google services on Huawei is a big deal for a lot of people sadly. I know most left wing tech activists hate google services (and for good reason), but your everyday person just wants their google maps and photos to work.
I had a Huawei phone before all the nonsense happened, and it was pretty cool and great value for money hardware wise, but the iOS rip off Android skin (EMUI I think) was super annoying.
I think nowdays Xiaomi is the best option in the budget Chinese phone market. Can’t beat a 120Hz refresh rate AMOLED display on a sub 200 US dollar phone with Google services.
My previous phone was a Huawei
