A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's literally just a hauwei android phone lol
Super dramatic aren't they lol!
The hype is that it's using a domestic CPU. It's unclear how good a CPU it is, but apparently it was made with a semiconductor process which is only several years behind cutting edge. That's not really surprising, though, I doubt there was all that much "hushed concern".
I imagine there's also a question of if the Chinese can scale production up at all, or if some precision German machine tool is an impassible bottleneck.
That's no normal gadget...
What can you do with it that you cannot already
Send data to the CCP more faster and betterer.
