Small inconveniences here and there can be a deal breaker, especially for people who don't enjoy tinkering around with their devices in the first place.
I don't know about that whole stigma thing though. I think it would be disrespectful if we didn't acknowledge the biggest brother (and also uncle), Sam. But honestly, if that's what's keeping you from buying a phone that you otherwise would have, you could just slap a case on. I've seen one that literally covers the entire back of the phone (comes with a camera protector / cap). At that point, the only people who know are people you choose to tell.

Anonymous, 25 Sep 2023This is the first time I've heard of this. Very curiou... moreIts actually pretty easy for a phone manufacturer to integrate backdoors in their software, more so when they do not even allow bootloader to be unlocked, forget about getting SU access.
To understand this better, think about a code built into system.apk that end user has absolutely no access to. Even with SU, you cannot access that code, unless you decompile system.apk, which might not even be possible. Let's say this code just captures your login credentials or your Wifi's location - leaves no footprint and not uses much battery, then it transmits the data to some server and what gets transferred is just text, which is not more than few MBs.
Now all this is theory, but a complete possibility.
We are still trusting the likes of Google, Samsung and Apple more from a face value perspective than actually looking at their proprietary code and seeing what they are capturing. Since these companies are exposed to significant legal and privacy compliance, they try not to compromise user's data. With Huawei, there is no court of law or consumer rights that would stop them from capturing and sharing customer's data.
I still think Huawei's phones are incredibly well built, but the repercussions can actually be dire.

Great piece of hardware. Used one of P series phones few years back and the build quality was unmatched. I surely would have considered this over S23 Ultra, if the software wasn't an issue - which actually is. Also, its not worth the stigma of possibly carrying big brother around and people raise an eyebrow when they realize the brand you're using.

AnonF-1121731, 23 Sep 2023To those who already bought, how secure is this phone?You ask a very hard question to answer for any device. Even if the device itself is secure, the software you use can just as easily compromise security. To know for sure, you would need to analyze everything that comes out of your phone, reverse engineer everything, analyze the designs / source code, or use a phone where you designed and built yourself (hardware + software), all of which is easier said than done.

Huawei phones are the best but just too bad cannot used google.
I still have their old P20 Pro.
Their camera n battery, I think can easily killed all brands out there.
Charging run cool and also you won't feel the heat on the back of phone after using for long.
For the price you're paying, their technology is far advanced than other phones out there.

Either way, there's plenty of frauds, lies, and false advertisements everywhere so I'm not sure what the point you're trying to make is.

Anonymous, 23 Sep 2023Is apparently can scan QR codes without opening an app, so ... moreThis is the first time I've heard of this. Very curious where you got this from.
Imo it doesn't make sense at all. If your cameras are always on, it would have a very noticeable drain on your battery. If there is a security concern, it would mean data has to leave your device, which means there would be significant background network traffic, which can be tracked to confirm (and no, not what your device reports, but the signals it broadcasts over wifi or data). Not to mention the inconvenience of your phone randomly opening qr codes when you don't want it to. All in all, it would be an extremely dumb design decision and I'm sure the internet would be up in flames if it was true. And yet I can't find anything on this.

Anonymous, 25 Sep 2023He's right though, that's what communist regimes ... moreI don't see this as a "weird phenomenon" at all. I think it makes very good sense given the circumstances they face. And it definitely does happen in america and other western countries too, they are just proud different things, for their own reasons. I think the reason china happens to be so proud of technological advancement is because of how impoverished they were just a few decades ago, and because of the american sanctions meant to curb their technological advancement. Imagine if someone made it their mission to ruin your career. Wouldn't you be proud as well if you were able to overcome the obstacles they set for you?

[deleted post]Thanks pavlecom for posting. Woh it's got mind blowing awesome speeds vs. iPhone 15 Pro. Any idea why the iPhone has a latency.
Really the best phone, imagine how the Mate 70 Pro would be... another beast!!

[deleted post]He's right though, that's what communist regimes do. Nobody in the US has ever been "cheering" on Apple or Google or other tech companies and talking about how awesome America is because of their tech....unlike the nationalism that Chinese do with their companies. It's a really weird phenomenon.

Let alone that both cameras are always on to search for "QR Codes and Scanners".

I observe that there is a lot of fear on the part of the US government about Huawei's great capacity for innovation.
They wanted to ban the Chinese technological development but they see that they have not been able to, and they try to search and search within their fear.
Probably they will have to have half a Pentagon department on exclusive salary in order to exam each circuit of the Kirin chipsets 😂😂😂 👀👀👀🕵️🕵️🕵️
I'm going to grab some popcorn because the next few years are going to be a lot of fun, especially seeing the tears and cries of US goverment.
If in just 1 year Huawei has been able to produce itself a 5G Kirin 9000S SOC chipset at 7 nm... I hope for the best next year with the Mate 70 Pro.
The chipset has been obtained from SMIC using systems not dependent on the US:
SMIC -> Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation - (Shanghái) China.

ASL, 22 Sep 2023More than 14 pro max, Huawei go go!I agree that's it's very impressive, if true this would give a gpu score of around 500000 which puts it around the best Snapdragon gen 1+ phones and about the same performance as the P60 pro overall which is impressive as this is entirely china made. However I'm sceptical until I see the source.
