Often that's been chinese products. Not so much western stuff because usually it's super expensive (from a chinese pov, including any westener living here because you see how cheap some solutions can be, why go with an expensive one, unless you're trying to impress others 😁 ?).
I anticipate that in the future when some affordable stuff will be import, I'd have to write more about that.
I haven't really had to convince many chinese about great western products. Usually they're quick to realise that it's a cool product way before I find out about it so the discussion is already buzzing.
Also what's nice about china is that there's a huge community of developers and really knowledgeable people that like to tweak and compile their own stuff and put it out there for people to try. That means that if you're looking for a rare modification, chances are someone is talking about it or working on it.
So no, I haven't had to write much in chinese. And if I do it's usually about chinese products. I do expect it to change eventually.

Then it�... moreI also would like to see an unlocked bootloader.
I don't have one right now and it was hard go get used to it at first (Samsung S20 - US) but I have to say that Samsung did a good job at offering some of the root features now in stock firmware. It helped the transition. I found a great adblocker too so I don't need Adware anymore. Only a few missing features remain for me. Like access to network ports 1-1000. They're locked.
Anyway, for dumb android devices I'd require root, to tweak them. But for bleeding edge units like flagship phones I think it's easier to make the transition to non-root.

Vin Aigre, 05 May 2024Are you joking or you really believe what you wrote?
No country is without flaws. But you can't deny that if the opposite was happening : westeners passionately defending a western product on a chinese website, many or all of those comments would be deleted. You are enjoying some of the western freedom of speech right now. Please appreciate that.
(I live in China. I like it and root for the underdog, but I'm not blind to certain things.)

It is true that gov is made up by those people but the incentives within gov promote different actions. It changes them. There are a few good clear thinking people there but they're a small minority.

Instead of pointing out how you constantly fail to acknowledge when you're corrected, I'll bite on this one, too.
I watch a lot of motorsports. Both day and night time racing. I fondly remember all the times broadcasters and journalists whips out their phones to deliver the broadcasts in UHD, all chanting, "this image processing from Huawei sure helped us a ton delivering live video of things we've never been able to do before!". Right? That's your perception of reality, isn't it?
Back to reality, I have a very cheap system camera myself, as I don't do a lot of photography. There isn't even a smidgen of a doubt if that 500 buck camera with a 400 buck prime lens makes better videos or photos in _any_ environment compared to any smartphone I've ever owned. And the photos are honest representations of what comes through the lens. Not faked post processing butchering what I've seen.

The Huawei Pura 70 looks like it might do okay in sales but does it have to be such an ugly little thing? I mean, that's a phone you'd want to leave home without. And that performance! It's like I'm looking at a chart of second-tier phones from the year 2017. Did Huawei have to go with such junky processors and ancient GPUs? I thought China was trying to become a high tech country, but this phone is using chips from the days of the Texas Instruments OMAP processor. I don't know why someone would buy this over something like a Samsung Galaxy S10. After all, neither the S10 nor the Huawei have 5G capability. Just buy the Galaxy S10 for $50 on eBay and save yourself $1,450. And that camera bulge. Isn't Huawei aware that we may at some time may want to set the phone down on a table? With the screen facing up? And did I mention just how ghastly this thing looks? Mom's gonna give it to someone for his birthday and he's gonna say "Mom, you shouldn't have.... I mean, you really shouldn't have..." 😭😭😭
🤣
