Two things.

This must explain why the US government is going after Huawei so aggressively.

Huawei's cameras are the best in the smartphone world and they're about to raise the bar again with their next flagship.

OK, three.

They obviously have some marketing issues. For the love of God, Huawei.

OK, four.

Better than this, I guess: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-finland-telecoms/finland-to-investigate-nokia-branded-phones-after-data-breach-report-idUSKCN1R20XF?feedType=RSS&feedName=technologyNews&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+reuters%2FtechnologyNews+%28Reuters+Technology+News%29

  While this data breach could end up being devastating to HMD Global's nascent Android business, it does appear to be an honest snafu, affecting only a limited number of handsets.

    And I'm sure Huawei would get the same benefit of the doubt if you replaced the words "Nokia/HMD" with "Huawei in that story I linked to.

    In the US, they obviously wouldn't. In the rest of the world, Huawei doesn't seem to be particularly distrusted.

    Yes. Most of the rest of the world prefers to go with facts, not with baseless accusations.

    I'd argue that most of the world has gone pretty fact-resistant in recent years, although not every country is engaging in a cold war with China.

    China did usurp the sovereign territory of six Pacific countries with their artificial islands, so it’s not just the US that China is working against.

  Um because they are an arm of the state as are most Chinese businesses. You are so trapped in a democratic ( not party but system) mindset), you don't get that off to the gulag you go.

So... hasn't almost everybody been caught doing this? I mean, I'm happy to have a discussion about the issues Huawei faces, but this one is... I just don't care. I don't EVER believe that ANY photo from ANY advertisement is taken with the hardware they say it is.

Never buy based on an ad. Buy based on unbiased reviews from people who know what the heck they're talking about.

For some reason the comments here have devolved into personal comments that are unacceptable.

I have the same relationship with Huawei that I have with any company whose products I review: I review them and return them as requested. Period. Getting products for review doesn't influence me in any way. I've been reviewing hardware for 20 years. If anything, the hardware is a burden.

Also, not that it's anyone freaking business, but I'm not a liberal. I am a registered independent. I like to think for myself. Shocker, I know.

There is absolutely no reason to comment on this. Just move along, please.

  Thanks for clarifying your stance on product reviews. While clearly unpopular, I stand by sites having a published standards and practices and ethics statement.

    I don't have a problem with that. I'll talk to the team about putting together something along those lines. Trust is important to me.
