I avoided those phones like the plague, guess it was a good choice.
I bet it has a lot to do with the whole huawei backdoor story.
To be honest outsourcing such sensitive consumer device to a police state has not been a good idea for a long time.
I hope it will give good reasons to consider designing either open smartphones, or minimalist os designs with c++ or webasm apps. If smartphones get bloated, they won't be affordable anymore.
