This is a bit victim blamey but why the heck would you buy a Huawei device outside of China? Have to assume you can’t be familiar with the many criticisms…
Everything is made in China.
Affordability, there’s a reason I’m using a 5 year old sub AU$500 smartphone.
3 Suitability. It works well, has all the functionality I need.
Strong consumer protections and tech watchdogs in Australia generally have our backs with electronics.
China adjacent 5 eyes country under the yoke of the US military industrial complex; my data is balls deep in a dozen intelligence agencies anyway.
Downsides: No tap pay.
“Made in China” and “Made by China” are different.
Used phones are good and cheap. Profit because other people are greedy.
Most phones “work well”. That’s not a reason to choose a bad phone.
The consumer protections are the same for all phones. That’s not a difference between different companies.
This is just you saying you don’t care about these privacy issues. But you made this post???
You’re confused about what you want and think Huawei is a good deal. You are being unnecessarily cheap.
Be more mad that you bought a garbage Chinese phone then, lol
Do you not know how to buy used phones? You can get a Samsung Galaxy S21 for under $500 AUD right now:

There are plenty of phones under $500, you just chose a bad one:
My phone is made in Vietnam.
My wife, too. If you don’t mind me asking, what manufacturer?
Libertarian guys with asian wives moment
At least in the US I bought a pretty nice 18 month old Motorola without a bunch of crap on jt for $150.
Motorola Mobility LLC, marketed as Motorola, is an American consumer electronics manufacturer primarily producing smartphones and other mobile devices running Android. Headquartered at Merchandise Mart in Chicago, Illinois, it is a subsidiary of the Chinese multinational technology company Lenovo.
Not only victim blaming, but how is it in any way germane to the discussion at hand?
Fair but it’s also easily avoided by buying literally any other manufacturer who doesn’t pull shit like this
Before it got sanctioned a few years ago, Huawei actually made the best phone in the budget class. The camera was way ahead of other budget phones. There are also many random thing which might not sound significant, but actually pretty impressive when you think about it, especially when compared to their competition. For example, you can even plug a PS3 controller using a USB OTG dongle and the phone recognize it as an input device without needing to root your phone. I was really impressed by their budget line back then.
How about Lenovo laptops?

I felt bad thinking the same thing but JESUS PEOPLE GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. There are other great low-budget Android phones out there. WHAT ARE YOU DOING buying a Huawei?
