#2I truly am worried that Huawei technology is compromised. Why? I owned a Nexus 6p, made by Huawei, which was found to have a suspicious hardware "bug" where the battery's level is measured as higher than what is reported by the device itself.
Huawei maintains that it is not a hardware issue, while Google says that it is a hardware problem. A class action lawsuit was just settled because of this.
My suspicion: Huawei surreptitiously collected data, using up CPU threads, and core Android software did not detect this hardware usage.
I know many many owners of the Nexus 6p that had this problem, and it was only this Nexus which had it, the only one made by Huawei.

#3For me, the key quote:
The United States and its allies were derelict in not developing a 5G supplier, former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said in a speech in London in March. “With the benefit of hindsight it beggars belief that the countries which pioneered wireless technology – the United States, the UK, Germany, Japan and with wifi, Australia have got to the point where none of them are able to present to one of their own telcos a national, or a Five Eyes, champion in 5G,” he said.
I would have thought Qualcomm, Cisco, Intel and the like would have been all over 5G. Why weren't they?

Got creditable source?

#5Can somebody TLDR; why 5G is so much more dangerous (security wise) vs 4G?
Plus I do like the two-facedness - nobody should spy unless it's us.

Didn't know there was a class action. Mine used to die randomly all the time until I replaced the battery. I'm contemplating getting a new phone because a good portion of the time it's still slow AF

Doesn't seem more dangerous due to the tech but due to the fact that no one from Western countries has actually built hardware that we can buy.

#9Hypocrisy and arrogance at its finest - its ok for us to engage in illegal spying but not other countries. US leads the world in illegal activities and spying/stealing from foreign nations.

The issue that I personally experienced is a random reboot, and when the phone restarts, it reads a battery level of 1% when prior to reboot it read as much as 45%.
I exchanged it for a Pixel 1 because of extended warranty.
