Spying has little to do with anything. Everybody will try to spy on everyone else, just like they always have. This is about competition.
Over the past couple of years, Huawei has reportedly circumvented sanctions imposed on North Korea and Iran, providing the countries with telecom equipment that can be used for extensive spying on populations, so-called dual use technologies.Last month, senior German officials said they are planning a last-ditch drive to convince the government to consider excluding Chinese firms such as Huawei from building the country's 5G infrastructure.
"There is serious concern. If it were up to me we would do what the Australians are doing," one official told Reuters news agency.
LOL...more and more countries are now banning Huawei crap.
There are people in the US government that are 'scared' (I'm quoting literally) of Huawei.
The US is pressuring its allies to stop Huawei on the grounds of 'security fears' that have been denied by Huawei and are literally unsupported by any facts.
The irony is that those 'allies' have already caught the NSA spying on them on numerous occasions.
Security has little to do with reality in this case (Huawei). What the US is trying to do is not be relegated on a technological level and having someone like Huawei running a large part of the world's communications backbone strikes fear into some people.
"Chuck Grassley of Iowa, one of the longest-serving Senate Republicans, says he’s worried about the prospect of American telecommunications companies becoming dependent on a Chinese manufacturer whose motives he finds suspect. “I can’t pronounce their name,” Grassley says, “but it starts with an H and ends with a W-E-I. Whenever they’re involved, it scares the devil out of me.”

"The Journal piece states that the U.S. is so concerned that it is even considering giving countries more financial aid if they avoid Chinese-made telecoms equipment."

"While the headlines about the Trump administration’s trade warwith Beijing often focus on raw materials such as steel, aluminium and soyabeans, the underlying motivation of the new protectionist mood is American anxiety about China’s rapidly growing technological prowess."https://www.ft.com/content/40304bea-7eb9-11e8-bc55-50daf11b720d
"The NSA did not just tap German chancellor Angela Merkel’s phone but also listened in on finance, economy, agriculture and other ministers"
“However, it’s important to note that Canada is conducting a review of whether Huawei equipment poses a national security risk.Harper went on to say that western allies need to address “Chinese rule-breaking,” which have allowed the Chinese to “frankly exploit a trade relationship.””
“In principle, controlling the technology that sits at the heart of vital communications networks gives Huawei the capacity to conduct espionage or disrupt communications during any future dispute, particularly as more things, from autonomous vehicles to domestic appliances become connected to the internet. Countries using Huawei equipment monitor such risks carefully.
But the US also points more generally to China's National Intelligence Law passed in 2017 that says organisations must "support, co-operate with and collaborate in national intelligence work".
As a result, the US, Australia and New Zealand have all blocked local firms from using Huawei to provide the technology for next-generation 5G mobile networks.
Looks like more and more countries are banning Huawei crap due to spying concerns.

Apple iPhone XS awarded smartphone camera of the year, Google Pixel 3 runner-up
And from Anandtech review of Mate 20 Pro display:
"Now I have to admit that I never much understood people who were put off by hue shift of some OLED screen when viewed by off-axis angles, that is until I actually unboxed the Mate 20 Pro for the first time. Unfortunately either Huawei or the panel manufacturer are using some sort of unusual type of polarization layer above the OLED panel, which causes this effect to be a lot more pronounced than any other OLED device I’ve come across.
Another absolutely astonishing behaviour that I encountered while doing the auto-brightness greyscale measurements on the Mate 20 Pro is the fact that the display showcases large brightness artifacts in this mode.
The more concerning aspect is the base power consumption. The Mate 20 Pro showcases a very stark difference to the Mate 20. At 0 nits, meaning when the displays are showing a black image, the Mate 20 Pro consumes 519mW versus the Mate 20’s 348mW. When switching over to a full white image at minimum brightness of ~1.5nits, the Mate 20 Pro jumps almost 84mW, a delta that is uncharacteristically higher than any other OLED phone.
What is alarming for the Mate 20 Pro is that this is quite a regression over the P20 Pro, as well as the Mate 10 Pro (not graphed). These previous generations were using Samsung supplied panels, with a lower resolution of 1080p. Again I included the Galaxy S9+ in the results as well to demonstrate that 1440p isn’t the inherent issue here, as this unit also fares quite better than the Mate 20 Pro.
HiSilicon was able to get back to me and confirm that the Mate 20 Pro uses dual MIPI lanes in order to achieve the bandwidth for 1440p - something which is quite unfortunate.
The Mate 20 Pro’s result and conclusion is a bit more muted. Its battery life isn’t bad, but falls short of expectations. Here the 4200mAh battery serves as no more than to just compensate for the inefficient display."
See Seth, you had to mention display quality...and now i have to EDUCATE your profound idiocy on your own damn phone!! Your Mate 20 PRO has basically one of the WORST (if not THE worst) OLED display on the market!! Congratulation...Huawei achieve yet another achievement that no one wants. Huawei actually moved the goal post on this one!!
Seth, you just got OWNED...again. Please please STFU...but if not, i do enjoy making you look like a damn fool. LOL -
Apple iPhone XS awarded smartphone camera of the year, Google Pixel 3 runner-up
tmay said:Seth2015 said:Let's so resolution ... now here, your answer is going to be the same as a general iPhone user - but some facts you cannot deny :
iPhone X - 458ppi
iPhone XS - 458ppi
iPhone XS Max - 458ppi
iPhone XR - 326ppi
iPhone 4 - 330ppi
Huawei Mate 20 Pro - 538ppi
Samsung S9 - 570ppi
Samsung Note 9 - 516ppi
Pixel 3 - 443ppi
Pixel 3XL - 523i
Here's a strange one. If you mention how low the XR actually is (even the 'ol iPhone 4 is higher), the iPhone users jump to 'you can't see higher and it's extra resources and Apple made right call!'. But - it's kinda weird that chose fairly decent resolutions on the iPhone X etc. Anyhow - put aside thesubjective and look at pure resolution (higher number, madtiger).Improving the Next Generation of Mobile Displays
The iPhone XS Max has a very high resolution 2.7K 2688x1242 pixel display with 458 pixels per inch (ppi) producing images that look perfectly sharp with normal 20/20 Vision under all normal viewing conditions, which always includes some ambient light that always lowers the visible image contrast and perceived image sharpness (Modulation Transfer MTF). Note that displays are almost never viewed in absolute darkness under perfect viewing conditions with ideal image content. Some clueless reviewers have been pining for 4K 3840x2160 Smartphones, which would require more than double the pixels, memory, and processing power of the 2688x1242 display on the iPhone XS Max, but there would be no visual benefit for humans! As a result, it is absolutely pointless to further increase the display resolution and pixels per inch (ppi) for a marketing wild goose chase into the stratosphere, with no visual benefit for humans!
from this link:

Pretty much defines you as "clueless", but maybe you have enough self awareness to retract that bullshit PPI argument.
I'm guessing that your argument only applies to the XR anyway, because of course that LED 326 PPI was in fact a design decision to reduce cost and increase battery life, a fair trade for the consumer.
The sad part is that he does not even read Android articles supporting Apple’s displays: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-display-analysis-a-real-tangible-improvement-yet-still-behind-the-curve/
And i quote:
”We would give the Galaxy Note 9 an A rating: Very good brightness with high brightness mode, great gamma control, photos app has some color management. But, it still has black clipping, and we found the color accuracy in the calibrated profiles to not be too impressive. The iPhone X and the iPhone Xs both receive A+ ratings: It has a stellar manual brightness range without utilizing high brightness mode, zero black clipping over its 8-bit intensity range, smart PWM control, the best color accuracy we have measured, good gamma control, and excellent color management with an OS that utilizes wide color. These very noticeable and experience-affecting differences allow it to pull ahead of the Note 9 based on the qualities of the display and how its software handles it....
Because of Android’s incompetence in color management, there are millions of photos posted by iOS users that no Android display can faithfully reproduce due to its lack of software support, and that is mostly on Google to blame for not asserting a serious push for it. It has led the Android community to associate accurate colors with “dull” and “muted” when the problem is that their designers have been left restrained with the smallest color pallet available. Rarely are iPhone displays described as “dull” or “muted,” but rather “vivid” and “punchy,” yet they provide some of the most accurate and professional working displays available on the market—they don’t need to artificially oversaturate all the colors on their screens to achieve this.”
I won't even quote Anandtech because we know what they think of iPhone displays (aka top notch)! But above is from Android's top authoritative site. Clearly, iPhone displays (even last year's X) are heads and shoulders above the best of Android.
I am sure Seth will come back with some butthurt comment...but that’s just the village idiot that we have here running around. -
