    My mother has asked me what phone she wants and by my reckoning the Chinese lot are the best for her. However does Trumps trade war with them make such an acquisition unwise?

    she really isn’t gonna use it for a great deal so other than that I thought the moto g7 power. Any ideas?

    I have had a Huawei for the last 2 years and just got a new one, no problems with it. Good phone.

    yeah the reviews are spot on, just concerned about what might happen with Trump and if their phones won’t be allowed access to certain American based stuff

    Don't really give a **** about Trump.

    There's no way Trump is gonna **** Huawei.

    It's like Trump ****ing with Apple or Samsung. Not gonna happen.
    Apple made in China anyway.
    What isn't made in China these days?

    they stand to have no google updates and no android OS . If she just wants the basics right now should be ok but they will soon have to move to their own OS which maybe a problem .
    I have G7 power & it is fine for me but having said that it is my first smartphone & i still hate them <laugh>

    Imagine being so paranoid about politics that you start ****ting yourself when buying a phone. Get yourself a straight jacket off Amazon bro.
