Chinese manufacturers aren't exactly well known for good lithium battery safety. IIRC the entire reason amazon banned hoverboards was because they couldn't tell which Chinese manufacturers used safe batteries.
- kyriakos 10y agoI agree, this is part of my point. If the big brands manufacturing under stricter regulations still face the same problems then why pay the premium?
- notyourwork 10y agoWhy not say that or at least add that to your post in the first place/
- kyriakos 10y agoI thought it was self explanatory. I guess it wasn't.
- x0x0 10y agoThere's a difference between whatever-random-flybynight-hoverboard company and, say, Huawei or OnePlus. ... I hope. Cause I just bought a OnePlus 3 after being really disappointed by the Pixel phone. Like who made google think they could charge iphone money for a nexus -- $750 plus tax so over $800 to get something with 64G of space? The OnePlus has been out since June and while there are sporadic reports of fires (just like there are sporadic reports of iphone fires), there's nothing like the wave of reports of Samsung phones catching fire.
