06 September 2019
A new report confirms rumors we first heard at the end of last month.

    LOL! That's what you get for spying on U.S. companies and stealing their IP and collaborating with the Chinese government. It's so refreshing to see a head of state fight for what's right. Your move, Hooway.

Besides sms app, which frankly... is will never use a store one (apparently you do not care about privacy) symbian was and still is in a lot of areas, far superior to android. It was a pc in your pocket. Android still dictates you which app will use backgroud and whivh nit, and where your privacy goes....

        Finally, a flagship that I can avoid the NSA! I don't care about what China does with my info. They don't know me and I'm sure they don't know what to do with it.

            Samsung is so celebrating this advantage that they will keep their phones so expensive.

              As I use my phone simply to make phone calls not to rule my life it will not matter to me at all.

That was as a result of WP7 dropping SD card support and only offering phones with at best half the storage capacity of my recently purchased SD card. With Symbian. Could I install a new dialler? Can I choose which SMS client I want and customise it? Can I install my choice of Launcher and customise it. Need I go on? Android is vastly superior to Symbian. I value being able to tailor my phone to how I wish and not have it dictated by the OS. That's the main reason I would never look at IoS either.

                WP may well have been more secure but that does not make MS better than Apple or Google in terms of the data they collect and store.

                  Anonymous, 08 Sep 2019This makes me more interested to buy a Huawei device. First... moreRepeat yourself as much as you like, lol. It's called flooding; do you know what that means?

                        With Samsung galaxy S & Note lines there, there is no need for Huawei, they are not cheap, and you get more chances get spied by CCP

                                  The Huawei Mate 30 and X works best in China..so you will have to move there for the full experience.
