          Further restriction so I don't think they can access Google latest update anymore, what they have already on the device is OK but not newly release.

              I'd buy one too as it's a really good phone at a really good price, I just don't like the Aurora colour. Petty yeah, but last time I bought a phone in a colour I didn't particularly like, it bugged me for 2 years. :/

After being investigated they found no evidence of spying whatsosever and everyone already knew it had nothing to do with that. Yeah, Huawei are being banned for a reason, just not the one the US are claiming.
                  What happens when the country making all your products are making their own which are not only better, but also cheaper? Are there really still people who think this has ever had anything to do with privacy?

          Great phone, and a great blend of features for the price.

          It is the last Huawei to get Google Services for the foreseeable future. Once it's approved, it stays approved. So don't stress overly about people naysaying over updates.

                  Great ad hominems implying I'm too stupid to read to bolster your arguments. This article is 5 months old, right before the pandemic blew up. And after another lecture it's nothing more than a puff piece promoting their new memory technology. So I read another

                  At the moment, the Xian plant is Samsung’s only chip factory in an overseas land

                  Interesting.

                  Apparently you are of too high a level of intelligence for us mere plebes to understand - despite ignoring the evidence I showed, special pleading about one factory and ignoring the state of the world, which has already been forced to use alternative methods of production. Nope it's China full steam ahead brother! 🇨🇳

                    @Skinnerr: Well guess I should start with some fundamental critical reasoning principles in order to answer your question regarding "cherry pick one factory"… It just takes one counter example to prove the original argument is invalid and I was not intended to waste too much of my time illustrating what happened to Japan and the US, so Samsung itself is more than enough to indicate my point that China is now eliminating low end manufacturing while the investment on some cutting-edge techs are increasing.
                    Meanwhile, I ain't imply anything and your response is quite self explanatory that you really know nothing bout semiconductor industry… it takes billions and years to upgrade the entire pipeline in order to produce new gen chips for a foundry and I really cannot understand how the fact that "Xian plant is Samsung’s only chip factory in an overseas land" can serve to illustrate any of your point.
                    I am not ignoring anything you showed, I actually read that forbes article line by line, but it turned out to me that the only thing I could tell from that article was you did not realize the difference between "factory" and "PC factory"…that's all…
                    It's another boring Sunday afternoon here and I know I have wasted too much of my time in saying something to someone that is not able to fully understand… but that's okay, I ain't really care that much and so shouldn't you…
                    Giving all that's been said, Chinese production is not crap and China is doing just fine…

    So is the story now that the P30 series was supposed to be safe from the ban but since the temporary license has expired the details aren't concrete anymore? Sounds like P30 devices will get to keep GWS, apps and security updates but may lose access to new Android versions, or have no support from Google if Huawei integrates EMUI into new Android versions and something breaks? Is that correct?

              @crentist: He/she never said they are software, what are you even talking about? The original comment was claiming the 4a was the economical choice against the P30 which is untrue. You may want to look up what economical means. The 4a came out 2 days ago and the P30 over a year ago. I wonder which one will have longer support?!!
              The P30 has superior hardware and is 5G the 4a is not, so even beyond both their lifespans and without the support, the P30 will still be the most relevant and useable of the two so your point is completely invalid.
              Google will likely charge people for a different model 4a that has 5G. Perhaps the choice would be to wait until that phone comes out, or maybe the one after that? So many people have an opinon on things they don't even understand because they read something.
              The P30 is a much much better phone for the price. The updates lifespan for the P30 is also unchanged from what it would have been had the licensing not expired and being 5G, it will outlast the 4a which will become useless sooner. The economical choice would be to get the superior phone that will also last the longest, and even without official OS support later on, that is still the P30. None of your reasoning is relevant. May as well get a samsung a51 as its pretty much the same as the 4a but has 5G or maybe wait for a newer one blah blah blah.

                its not 5G

                The economical choice would be to get the superior phone that will also last the longest, and even without official OS support later on

                not if you care about official support. although I mentioned the locked bootloader because that would be unofficial. The pixel will have longer support, but also be able to load unofficial roms. with that, you can keep it going for many more years. you could probably get a pixel1 and squeeze another 5 years out of it if you wanted

                As someone with a 1st gen iphone se, the ongoing software support keeps this thing working very well, which has made it very economical.
                Even then, it ends when apple decides, and then my phone slowly becomes worse to use as security drops, and newer software is unavailable

                You may want to look up what economical means.

    ordered one, any recommendation on casing and screen protector.

      it comes with pre-installed protector and a clear case, unless you want glass screen protector and rugged/other stylish case :)

      • Kuyaozb on 21/08/2020 - 23:20

        i wanted a better protection. Allof my phones were broken due to fallen on the floor.

          I think there were some Ansell deals earlier.

      Tons of cases available at Amazon, ebay, Aliexpress etc. Try to get hold of a Spigen one.
      I also had got this one for 2.19 - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/544714

      Why did you opt for this over the soon to be released Pixel? Just curious as I am searching for a phone.

        My friend having this phone, the camera and performance well worth this price. Never checkout Pixel thought.

    Amazon offloading stock before the OS cannot be updated?

        It is and I bought a P30 Pro last year. Awesome camera but no updates = no deal.

        • bajirao on 21/08/2020 - 23:36

          Just last week received an update for P30. It's up-to-date.

            @bajirao: Great but isn't the license expiring soon and Trump hasn't renewed it? For the old devices Huawei has supported since the ban.

              @noscopedJFK: It has no bearing on all current phones. Support continues as normal. The P30 is and will still be updated just as long as it would have anyway.

          I just got an update for the P30 recently. Your comment = unbelievable

          • noscopedJFK on 21/08/2020 - 23:49

            @0FoxGiven: Maybe I should have clarified with 'no future updates = no deal'. Thought you could have read that from my first comment to OP.

                @FOX: Yep, I've just read it after Jamesx reposted it down there. Thanks!

    the only concern now is future update(s) due to TGL expired already

    Great price on an excellent phone.

    I bought this before Trump got mad at Huawei. Loved the phone. Returned the phone for full refund as soon as it was announced that Google may not support it, bought the much hyped Pixel 3. Hated the Pixel 3's shit battery life and I found it buggy. Sold the Pixel 3 and bought the P30 again few months after it was announced the phone would continue to be supported by Google.

    • solidice on 22/08/2020 - 07:35

      Could you link to a source that shows that the phone will be supported by all updates and software into the future?

      Pixel phones in a nutshell, bugs are (profanity) infuriating

    You can tell the Huawei owners by the amount of negs people get in the comments. Hilarious.

      So true. Not sure why phone brands brings out the tribalism in people.

      Agreed, no idea why people get so defensive almost as if it's a personal attack.

    • Jamesx on 22/08/2020 - 00:16

      Most of the negs here are bases on facts, ie no Google, no updates etc.
      Many posts after tderevko didn't even read the post - https://www.gizchina.com/2020/08/18/huawei-phones-will-still…

  • amirkh on 22/08/2020 - 00:04

    You better don't buy it because of privacy concerns. They're murdering two people because Canada has arrested a manager of Huawei. Don't reward a communist government.

      How many black people murdered by USA police? Should we not buy Apple products or use Google?

        Being a black person. I would much rather live in America than China. Have you see how they treat some minorities there?

          Can't be worse than how minorities were treated years ago in America. African slaves, Chinese slaves, Native-American, etc. Some are still treated unfairly to these days. Never forget about the dark history of America (and other countries), otherwise it will repeat itself again.

          • lonewolf on 22/08/2020 - 14:21

            @El Psy Kongroo: Except that has changed over time in western cultures much more so than eastern cultures. After having lived in many Asian countries as well as some western countries. The differences are massive in how skin colour plays a role in eastern countries

              @lonewolf: Not so much 'western culture' vs 'eastern culture', it's more 'capitalist' vs 'non-capitalist'. Capitalist countries or countries with similar political system take in or 'recruit' the smartest people from all race (skilled immigrants) to improve their own country. There are more and more non-East Asian people living in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc these days compared to years ago. The USA has become so powerful today that other countries will have to follow or they will not survive.
