    I have no fucking idea. Huawei sucks even worse, it’s for domestic only. Someone I know has a Huawei tablet and despite an hour of work, installing other app stores, developer mode, installing APKs the thing still would NOT play mp3s. It wants you to subscribe to its music service.
    I hate Apple so Samsung maybe?
    One of those weird freedom linux phones but they probably suck, too. I want my 2015 Xiaomi Note 2 back. I still have it, and it’s perfect. Modern apps won’t install and it’s slow as fuck.

      Huawei works fine in the USA on the hot pink carrier you just won’t have the google play store

        Well yeah, that’s where you get any good software. I tried the alternative ones like F-droid and they SUCK. The Huawei app store is the one that doesn’t have a single music player that supports MP3s. This is by design, they nag you to pay a subscription fee to their shitty censored music service.

      Pixel with GrapheneOS is the best security focused phone you can have. Works very well and is easy to install, you can buy a used pixel if you don’t want to support Google.
