Re: Don't know about infrastructure but great phones
Yep but like many, I put a custom ROM on it so this probably wasn't an issue. Hopefully?
What do you really think? If I were the Chinese authorities, I'd be putting a back door into the hardware and firmware, not the OS or apps (or as well as!). I myself own and use a Chinese handset, and an excellent piece of kit it is. I've been applying for jobs at a senior level of late, and I can clearly divide the companies concerned into two piles:
1, Those companies where I would happily carry my Chinese brand handset into work, because I can't see any value if it were backdoored by the Chinese authorities or proxy actors on their behalf, and they eavesdropped on everything.
2; Those companies where I would sadly have to dispose of the phone, because the risks to my employers are too great, even if the probability of my handset being targeted is very small.
