    Also you don’t get Huawei’s Android version (EMUI) on the Huawei Mate 60 pro, you get harmony os as it’s only for sale in China. While it can run most android apps seamlessly as well as native harmony os apps, it’s not Android. Using it outside of China might be challenging.

      I guess it would be completely useless for the government apps you’re forced to have living in a western country.

      The steaming pile of crap that my government wants us to use to sign everything and log into everything doesn’t even support Firefox.

      I had a p30 pro from mainland china, and while the hardware was great, I couldn’t root it or change the launcher. Which made me unhappy for quite a long time.

        Other Androids are always an option. I’m partial to getting year old flagships on stock clearance discounts, probably the best value for money you can get.

        You can always get an Huawei phone intended for international sales with EMUI on it, that’s Huawei’s version of Android.
