That is nothing to them. If they were to go about making a deal like that, I bet, it would be for couple of Billions.

    vodny, 06 Dec 2020Thats exactly why I stay away from cheap Chinese brands. Th... moreSamsung selling at high prices but still baking ads into OneUI to earn extra profits from people like you that don't know any better. Congrats for contributing to the big brand's profits.

      Only buy phones that are released locally in your country.
      For example, if you're buying a Xiaomi then don't buy the China version but buy the version that is made for your country/region. Otherwise install the official global ROM manually.

      Anyway, it's good that those people involved are getting prison time.

        American....Apple, Google and what other? You can get any trustful phone, not only american ones

          This is why I don't trust Chinese brands, period.

            Infinix and Tecno are the worst

                  So what's the use of such fines? Users data and privacy are anyways compromised, is the government or court going to get back those details to the rightful users with those fines? What is the benefit yo users that were impacted?

                                        And this is why, not content with gifting the world with Corona Virus, China is also hell bent on stealing as much data as possible. There's a reason these rubbish Chinese phones are dirt cheap, and that's because the user is the product.
