As an American, I can't say that I've had my hands on any Huaweis; at least not in a very long time. They may be good, I just don't know. Be cautious about CCP spyware. Could be American propaganda so take with a grain of salt, I err on the side of caution.
I like the Pixels a lot but I need a fingerprint reader and they only have facial recognition. ew. The speed of the 1+ fingerprint reader is unmatched by anyone.
I was telling everyone about Samsung well before the Note 9 exploding disaster. I saw it coming a mile away with how shit their batteries were. Samsung makes the best displays on the market though. Hands down. That's why Apple uses Samsung displays ;)
