    I had an Honor 9. Very good value, except Huawei's interpretation of Android is awful so I went the custom ROM route using OpenKirin. It was never quite right and support simply ended without warning some time ago (and I notice that the website is now down). Then the battery died, puffed up and pushed the back off the phone.

    Lesson learned.

    Its is Chinese state owned manufacturer.. backdoor is guaranteed.

    One reason for the custom ROM, but that didn't quite pan out.

    Spewing craps out of your pipe hole without any proof. I'd like to see some.

    He's taking a page straight out of CIA and NSA handbooks.

    That censorship happens only to Chinese variants because that's the local law, looks like Lithuania got paid/bulling by US government to spread FUD. The big difference between China and US is that China only forces their laws and bans unto themselves unlike the US who tries to enforce them worldwide.

    So you're ok with a foreign government having compromised the phones with the possibility that it has probably compromised it even further. We just haven't discovered it yet. You're unbelievable. You're basically supporting a nation that has been proven to steal i.p., some even on video. You're basically supporting a hostage taking nation. You're the problem with modern free society.

    Whatever you say, Holmes. As long as they don't push their propaganda like US does with the whole world, I'm more than fine with it. It's their society and whenever a foreign country intervenes it never ends up well - just look at Afghanistan. As for stealing IP, all governments did and/or do this including US, Germany, France, Japan, Korea so trying to play the moral high ground is not just useless but also hypocritical in this case.

    What part of Canadians is their society? They blatenly too hostage took hostages. That exceeds their remit. And as for stealing IP, you're again delusional. All the countries you stated govern by rule of law unlike China. Stop being an apologist and be part of 21st society. Wow, I suppose your pal Putin plans by the sames rules and so you're ok with it. If your only pals are China, Iran and Russia, then you know you have problems.

    Funny that you just assumed my nationality based on my username, sorry to dissapoint but I have no connections to Russia or Putin. Projecting like that is classic behaviour of a brainwashed mind.

    You can get as much as you want. Just join the CCP intelligence agency. Or you could join the NSA. They know about these things and probably do the same with the US devices.

    I cant tell if you're a Chinese government dog or just oblivious. The Chinese have been at this for decades. Most recently that we know of... https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/lit...

    Cant tell if you're delusional or just don't have use critical thinking but China definitely tries every dirty trick there is. https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/lit...

    Spewing crap? What the hell are you talking about? You didn't know the Chinese backdoor their products?

    Eh, if its running Android, its pretty much watching your every move and reporting it back to Google and everyone else already. May as well let China watch. They're a lot less creeptastic than Google anyhow.
  • flyingpants265 - Wednesday, September 29, 2021 - link

    China is less creeptastic than Google? Why do people post when they just don't know anything about the subject?
  • PeachNCream - Friday, October 1, 2021 - link

    What don't I know? Google has been a disgusting company for less time than China has been keeping its citizens under the close eye of the government and that is not an arguable fact, but Google is more widespread, more closely integrated into the lives of people, and its users are largely clueless and apathetic. Google also _could_ be made to conform to change as the EU has proven, but very little is done regarding that because there is a lack of will and a lack of interest. After all, who cares about what the four colored company giving me free e-mail and navigation is doing while we're all sucking on its service nipples when we can instead watch the latest show on Netflix?

    I've also owned a Honor 9 for the past 4 years and I much prefer EMUI over any other skin, only ColorOS comes close to it in terms of feature richness.

    Just this year I was forced to replace it because of the EMMC cells slowly dying, otherwise I would've still be using my Honor 9.

    Custom roms be all:
    -Ten pages of people being amazed at how amazing the rom is
    -Twenty three pages asking for solutions for issues
    -Thirty two pages of people shouting

    New rom appears.
    -Repeat the above.

    I find it ironic. US government went after Huawei because it has ties to the Chinese government. Now Huawei sold the Honor brand to the State owned entity and got unbanned.

    "The front facing camera also works in cooperation with the rear cameras in a multi-video recording format."

    This... THIS... should be standard on all phones from this point forward. Why it hasn't been done before baffles me.
