Isn't it likely every Huawei is backdoored by the Chinese government?
I'm honestly not sure what to do about phones these days. It's getting to the point where I don't want one, but I essentially need one for work.
I'm am American and recently moved to Europe. I had to get a new phone because my old contract wasn't up. I had a LG G6 before, and ended up with a Huawei P20 and can't imagine why someone would pay 3-4x for a Samsung or an iPhone. The camera is phenomenal!
Because an iPhone doesn't run Android. Android sucks. You couldn't pay me to own an Android phone.

Now I’m looking for a dumb phone.

I start to believe what US has done to Huawei actually made the brand more famous. Smart phones are becoming commodities so marketing plays a big rule for sales. The tension between US government and Huawei certainly saved them tons of marketing money. Three years ago even many Chinese don't know Huawei, but look at what Huawei accomplished today. I travelled abroad frequently and people are talking Huawei everywhere…
The market for people wanting a big battery is not mainstream huge but is a tasty long tail.
The re-invented flip phone is going to be a win with the 50% of the population that have smaller pockets in their trousers than what the other 50% have.
Then there is the outdoor sports market, the phones that are waterproof and super tough.
If there is a diverse range of the same product in all of these form factors then people will buy them as their life changes.
One flagship can't be the perfect hand rectangle for everyone. There is going to have to be a more meaningful range, as happens with cars, laptops or even bicycles.
Although times are not as growth crazy as they once were there is no need for the market to become identical hand rectangles, there is still plenty of room for product innovation even if there are no killer features on the way.

Products are generally cheaper when produced using stolen IP.

Huawei phones send info to China. https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3685669
Vilification of the other without pause to consider the status-quo is not an appeal to "whataboutism" it's just pointing out hypocrisy. I really wish I didn't have to care about NSA or huge US tech companies aggregating information.
But I do. I cannot in good conscious condemn China for this if the alternatives are equivalent.
