I’ve been needing to buy a new phone and while I’m here in china I’ve seen some really intriguing options only available here.

obviously the telemetry is extremely problematic, more so than non chinese phones, is it feasible to try remove with adb or the universal debloater? since there is custom rom support at all? or should I just forget about it?

    I’m not an expert but my instinct says you should never take any digital device over the chinese border. No matter in what direction.

      its not inherently that bad. only when you start to use their apps (which is a necessity), which asks for a phone number and pastes your clipboard on start, then yes.
