    I have to admit, the salesman for the phone seemed like a really good salesman. Kind, knowledgeable, looked happy at his job, and did some fancy package opening when he open the phone. 10 coughs/10 coughs.

      I am European, but to me this was kinda rude. My understanding is, that the security guy is just doing his job and he did not seem to be impolite. Unless he made up that rule and bothered him for nothing, but from what I understood that is a general rule. And I think he felt completely ignored. If I were in his shoes, I would think that someone is trying to be a jerk to me.
      But I get where the opposition to the rule comes from, as it seems to be made only to protect some shady counterfeit business going on.

    My brother got a tablet years ago that was refurbished. I remember him using it and it worked just fine. Then, one day, it began to slow down. Apps opened slowly and frame rates on games dropped drastically. We thought maybe it was a bad internet connection, but our home wifi signal was good. He looked through a list of apps and noticed all of them in English except one in Chinese. He used google translate on another device and saw that it translated to "Camera" in Chinese. Makes sense because the app icon was a camera lens. Thinking this suspicious, he deleted the app and his tablet returned to normal. He did some research and we think that this app was fraudulent somehow and was possibly streaming what was happening on his tablet. Maybe someone hoped to catch him entering passwords or something. No idea why this mysterious app was using so much resource power while hiding the fact that it was even running.

      98 to 99% so I had to constantly clean and even stopped my self from going to the internet. One day when I was cleaning I saw an app that I have never seen that you can't search or look up on my phone at all, while cleaning I saw a particular app that was kind of secretly running the cleanind I noticed this when I saw the text next to it saying WeChart in progress, so far its the only hidden Chinese app on my phone and it destroyed my storage, speed and battery life yet I have never used it not even once and when I constantly have to clean it is the one that sought off indirectly runs it, I would never have realized it if I didn't see a documentary on it on TH-cam the only way I might use it was to delete everything

    Can recommend Xiaomi. Bought a Redmi 4x and we’re happy with it, even though I’m quite critical and nitpicky with phone features compared to most consumers.
    I did root it, wipe it and flash a custom ROM. For privacy, and to reduce bloat/battery drain, as well as add more features.
    Camera did not wow me, otherwise worked well. I feel that the fingerprint scanners is more responsive than an iPhone scanner, with sweaty fingers.

      Well, in China newer phones are made to be "full range network accessable" (required by code I think), but that "full range" is only "the full range Chinese carriers can use", and there are only 3 carriers in China so... I guess it's really hard to tell if a phone works somewhere else, and the chance might be pretty low.

It can be absolute basic AOSP, but as long as all the drivers are there and working, that's all we really need.

      Newer generations of AT& T and T-mobile GSM network phones should work outside of North America without issues. Att does use a different bandwidth than other GSM networks but their phones should work on any GSM network, and the reverse should also be true with newer models.The issue is with the Verizon and Sprint CDMA phones, unless you get a model that has both GSM/CDMA capabilities such as the Samsung G8 etc. Most mid to high end phone models that Verizon sells should have both capabilities that it is best to check to make sure the model you get has both network capabilities.

      Charles Schutz not sure how recent of phones you mean, but, I've been with AT&T for a very long time and all my products for the past 10 years have been international capable, no issues, except needing to maybe buy a different sim card...
      Yet, all in all, aye aye!
      Edit: but, the other way 'round, Sending almost any phone to "The States" should work...

      GeekBoy03 Actually I can relate to what the guy's trying to say - I bought several phones on Aliexpress, and most of them came with virus-riddled firmware, reflashed by the seller hell knows for what reasons. Probably they think I will benefit somehow from it, I dunno.

      @Drak_Thedp 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      xponen in my example they came with a build number, that doesn't match any official build, neither chinese, nor global, it was pre-rooted, which means it was actually a hacked rom, it refused to ota-update and had a ton of bloatware installed, that even flashed pop-up windows on the home screen, or any other app at that. It goes without saying, that it still was a miui, and when I activated the built-in antivirus, it found things. So I just intalled the clean official firmware.

      I always liked Huaweis, the camera, the system all. But duo the problem with the US (I'm European) the phones now will have a different store and other things. In characteristics, for me, usually, really good phones and cute design. iPhones are not bad but I don't see the Apple system better than the Android.
      My actual and past phone was bought online, it's not a brand that we see in physical shops, at least here. Because of customs fees I don't buy directly from China, but look the same or an equivalent in a seller from Europe, specifically Spain in my case because as a portuguese its way easier ship from Spain. What I see is online we can buy good phones, way cheaper and it will do really well what it's expected.

    Similar experience using a Korean smart phone. They have some cheap ones but they are full of apps that are just useless unless you understand the language sans the no google access thing. I have to say that is one of the quickest phone purchases I have ever seen though. Here in the states the Verizon store could be empty and you still have to wait for 20 minutes for someone to even ask why you are there.

      I was stationed in Korea twice so I wasn't completely lost, the second time. Not everything displayed in English, icons for example. The first time I had a Korean phone I had no clue as it was just a dumb flip thing. Tiny and really cool but not very smart. It did txt though which was science fiction in the states at that time. lol That was in 1999.

      As a United States citizen I always have the thought of "why don't all the white South Africans just leave" but I have to remember how people form bonds to the land they grew to know and love. Patriotism. That, and also how much of the west doesn't want them, which is saddening. If S.A. was the U.S. I'd hope Scotland or Bulgaria would accept me back. The most gruesome stories come out of S.A. though and it makes me wish the Afrikaners would leave. As a foreigner it's not really my position to push my beliefs on those people. Hopefully something can be done to bring peace.
