Maybe his company is honest, maybe it isn’t. It’s going to take a while until everyone fully trusts Chinese companies.
Their products are selling all over the world except North America, still they are behind pretty close to apple at number 3 spot. The prices are high as the saying goes 'Huawei in china cater for the rich and Xiaomi for the poor'. They will still sell their GSM phones unlocked in US though. Just the same tactics as One plus 5 is doing.

Oh him. I’ve read about him here and there. He seems a bit of a hot head when it comes to getting his company’s hooks into the US market. He can sound a bit grumpy and plotting. He would be an interesting person to read up on. Huawei phones look very interesting. Like others on this thread, I’d love to see them running stock Android and working with Google again.
Canadian carriers are selling Huawei P10 and P10 Plus, P10 Lite and Nova Plus.
Huawei itself are not pay attention to Canadian Market. We do not get Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro.
My Huawei Mate 10 was brought in China while i visit my families
Huawei is doing good all over the world except North America. In US, it is considered as national security risk, this is why AT&T pulled out its contract because FCC intervention. A phone can be security risk? It is the Apple home market, someone does not want to let others have a piece of pie. Anyway Huawei is closing in on Apple to be second in sales volume the world over. It is not quality that counts anymore.
In US there is a deep distrust with China. Especially with decades educations during the cold war. People still think China is evil communist countries and US still think China is enemy number one.
Huawei is pretty much banned in US. However, Huawei is doing pretty sell in Canada. Huawei and Telus are in partnership and Huawei is supplying equipment to major Canadian carriers.
I am happy with my Huawei phones. I have got several phones from Huawei, including Nova Plus, P10, Nova 2, Nova 2S, P10 Lite , Huawei Honor 8, Huawei Mate 10. Every Huawei phones are decent for the price and performance is very nice
This is what surprises me. I can see how a phone being sold independently could have embedded hardware or software security risks. But with a carrier like AT&T, I don’t see how AT&T would let that sort of thing get past them. They’d be sued into oblivion if customers found out their carrier branded phone left their sensitive data open to spying.
And Huawei phones have done just fine in the US sold by Google as rebranded Nexus phones.
I was going to order OnePlus 5T, but I decided to wait until they fixed their website for security issue. I do not want my credit card gets fraudulent charges.
I am currently enjoying my Huawei Mate 10 and P10. Even its mid-rang P10 Lite is working great for me.
Yeap, the One Plus 5T IMO apart from the camera is way better then the Pixel 2 XL, oh and the waterproofing, because it’s half the price! They do need to sort out the security issues though..
Started seeing these phones years ago and refused to use one when I found out it was Chinese. On a side note, I bought an android phone from a small company called Blu a couple of years ago. When I ran some anti-virus software, something kept turning up as a dangerous bit of code. When I looked it up on the net I found it was some adware that came with the phone. It might have been Chinese. I think it became a thing for Blu and damaged their credibility. Immediately sent the phone back. I am very skiddish about off company phones and Google in general. That’s why I stick to iPhones and Apple.
That was huge thing a while ago...Blu was caught knowingly selling phones with spyware...

I would'nt buy from the OnePlus website myself...

I would only trust official website for purchasing new products. Looks like I would not buy OnePlus for anytime soon.
Just purchased an iPad Pro... I am out of money for purchasing other phone for a while. OnePlus can use this time to fix its website.

I never understood the fear of China. I am Chinese, I never seems to care about that. I don't think Chinese government even care about you or my information in general.
You American government gets all your information as well. I think you should worry about your government before you worry about Chinese government.
By the way, BLU is American Android phone maker. And Google has nothing to do with Android. And your information is not better with Apple anyway. In this day and age, privacy over digital product is joke. If someone truly care about privacy, they should live off the grid.
It is time to put Google under scrutiny because it is teaming up with Huawei.

I don’t see anything worth getting upset over. Or is this just you seeing a Chinese company and acting like they’re the boogeyman?
