Alright, so after going on XiaoHongShu this morning... I'll eat my words. I'll probably get the black and purple. My girlfriend knew I would before I did. She sent me a XHS post and was like, "When you get this one, can I have your XT?" haha The black and purple is just TOO pretty to not get. I also like the IP58 protection since the XT has nothing of the sort. I won't have to panic so much when I'm at the pool if it gets splashed. (Although pool water is still terrible for it). I may make a YouTube video called, "Hey Bruce" when I unbox it. And then show how minimal the effort is to get all of my US apps on it (no side loading or crazy shenanigans haha).
Lol, give me a shout-out. 🤣 But still, I trust your word and judgement as a mature, level headed Huawei user who isn't aggressively combative just because of some comments made in an OPEN FORUM.
Yeah, like it was HARD the first year of the ban, ngl. Then they did an "Update" to the Mate Xs2 that game me the "Home Away" app. Before that I had to do some wonky stuff and add gbox. So now, in most larger Huawei Stores, they even have advertising for Home Away and explain almost all google things are there. NOW, you can even have it set to update your apps automatically like the google play store does.
My BIGGEST issue with it for now is I can't do Gboard or Google Messages. Which since I like textra, the Google messages thing doesn't kill me, and I've gotten used to other keyboards, it's just that I like the Emoji Kitchen on Gboard.
But I don't use a lot of apps on my phone anyways, but the ones I really need work fine: Priority Pass, American Airlines, United Airlines, Uber, Chat GPT (which I find funny because it's actually banned in China but I can use it on a Chinese phone haha), Translate, Gmail, Youtube, Outlook, and Google Maps (Waze works too). So all in all, it's not terrible.
I make it akin to when I used to use the Amazon App Store instead of Google Play. Apparently I was one of the ONLY ones that did. haha
Either way, if I remember, when I get it I'll make an unboxing video and show you the set up. I know you won't ever get one, but that way you can see it and it's not just random words on a computer screen. Have a great day Batman!
Sounds good. I enjoy your perspective regarding Huawei without the added bias and aggression of 🤥🤓. My only gripe is compatibility and of course access to Google services. That's essential for me.
