    I’d rather not support a Chinese company, but since no one else will sell a phone with descent specs with a microsd card, I’m going to be forced into it sooner or later. My n20 ultra is still doing fantastic for now, though.

      If it makes you feel better, many components in smartphones are already made in China. The country already has a great degree of control if they wish to exercise it from a supply chain attack perspective.

      My point is, you’re not leaping from zero to suddenly they are in your supply chain. They already were in your supply chain to some extent.

        Well yeah. Who hasn’t committed heinous war crimes or some genocides? If no other shit corporation will give an option that is so obviously a benefit to the consumer, then I’ll choose the manufacturer from the current evil country. Not like it’s better to buy an iPhone that’s been made in China.
