    Lol. The irony of recommending a Chinese brand over Samsung because of concerns of what they’ll do with your data/wanting control is hilarious.

    Samsung might shut down your phone remotely. Xiaomi does give your data over to Chinese government. I would pick Samsung over Xiaomi any day.

      There was also an article recently about them preventing people from unlocking the phone without submitting a request with personal information etc

      Oh boy, i DonT gIve dAta tO GoveErnmen. I hope you’re using Google Pixel with GrapheneOS. Google can easily blacklist Pixel phones when it was sold outside their market. Samsung and Xiaomi can just inject bloatwares on their devices and request permissions. They are just the same, bad boys.
