I’ve been needing to buy a new phone and while I’m here in china I’ve seen some really intriguing options only available here.
obviously the telemetry is extremely problematic, more so than non chinese phones, is it feasible to try remove with adb or the universal debloater? since there is custom rom support at all? or should I just forget about it?
Besides the privacy concerns that have already been addressed, you probably need to be able to repair the phone yourself when it breaks. No after sale service when you take that phone back home. So that means you need to be able to buy parts from AliExpress or whatever.
Hey there are a lot of cell phone repair shops all over the USA like in shopping centers in every major city. call cell phone doctor or I break you fix, I’m pretty sure they could handle those Chinese phones for repair.
Xiaomi has quite a few official or partner repair shops
