the tech nerd, 06 Dec 2020Wait all Chinese phones don't???Most cheap ones ship with adware(BLU, Micromax, my|phone, Wiko & Xiaomi) how ever come comes with stuff like the Triada banking virus in most cases not planted on purpose by manufacturer in something called supply chain attacks! Now the ones I consider most in the clear of any wrong doing is BBK subsidiaries and Huawei, never found any virus, spyware or adware in these devices at worst the little ads shown in their app stores...

Apps installing itself, adverts and stupid downloads. Now not able to control some stuff. Gionee phones are no go area for me. So sad.

Xiaomi next to be ban, Huawei don't do phones anymore pure crap next to ZTE Chinese will never learn
Even Mi does the same.
I've had unknown apps installing on my earlier Redmi 2 Prime without permission.
At least Mi is not the so-called "respectable Chinese company" anymore, can't talk about huawei without a personal experience though...
I know I'll get trolled by LG, Samsung owners for having cheap chinese phone, but I guess I'm myself a LG phone owner now...

I also noted this. It'll install unwanted apps, their phones also allow hackers to peek from social apps.

Huge difference between Chinese phones.
Tier 1: Huawei, Xiaomi... moreWhat I said is an exemption for Huawei.
Xiaomi has been caught in browser and optical fingerprint sensor (K20 Pro & F2 Pro) privacy debacle.
I doubt the BBK brands.

These companies need money, but they sell the phones cheap. Go figure. They had to make profits somewhow.
If you want no trackers, buy a phone from a very profit oriented company, where they have so much profit they won't bother to install trojans anymore

That has been proven wrong on more than one occasion, but I expected you to swallow them hook, line and sinker. Good thing you didn't disappoint.

Nothing in the world is free. If something is too good to be true, it means you are being profited unknowingly.
So many cheapskates android users, always looking for free and crack apk, same with those illegal media downloaders.. unknowningly opening their devices to malwares.
So better buy an iPhone, and have a piece of mind. Knowing the company only profit from your sales upfront. And no rubbish behind your back.
