Built-in spyware, but only to the Chinese secret services.
They may also keep the thing more secure against interlopers.

Reminds me of a Star Trek episode where Earth tech gets left on an alien world and they copy it perfectly. The Chinese can’t create, but they sure can copy. If the USA created an outer space battleship, the Chinese would have an identical one the next year - all while claiming it’s an all-Chinese design. Damn pirates.

Anyone here remember when Apple tried to patent Rounded Corners for all devices?

Not for nothing but don’t most smart phones all look pretty much alike except for size? I have one from ATT I paid $60 for (brand new) two years ago that looks a lot like those in the picture.

I’ll stick with Apple on this one. Who knows what the criminal Chinese have installed on this phone. Every purchase and search probably goes to them. The Chinese are the master hackers of the world.

Xiaomi releases blatant copy of the iPhone X — right after the courts awarded Apple more than $500 million from Samsung for doing the same thing. —PING!

I’m sticking with the Apple ecosystem, thanks. I guess that makes me a fanboi.
