How dare North Korea produce things albeit with less quality instead of importing everything and being economically enslaved?

      Fuck I love treats so much America has the best treats and everyone is jealous of our treats I might be spending half my income on rent and I’ll immediately go bankrupt if I have to go the hospital for any reason but I can still absolutely roast your tankie ass for only having second tier consumer electronics.

          Super curious actually, how’s the experience of a Huawei phone? Interface, bugginess, annoyance levels? I’ll need a new phone within the next couple years probably, and Huawei is an option for me. I’ve only ever used Android phones so far, mostly Motorola ones since they’ve been the cheapest.

            I haven’t used one it in a while, it really was a while ago. Maybe the mate 8 or 9? But it left a very good impression. Not buggy, great battery life, very responsive, solid camera. I had no complaints.

            I’m currently rocking a Xiaomi in the US. People do import them and sell them here and it’s pretty good. But it won’t be problem free. Some carriers which do IMEI whitelisting might give you a hard time (Verizon did, ended up going with t-mobile), for me visual voicemail doesn’t work, and it wasn’t all that great of a deal. Most of all though, you need to look at what network bands they support and what your carrier uses or you’ll frequently find yourself with poor connection. Fortunately, many of the current Xiaomi models have pretty good network compatility with T-mobile it seems. I used this site.

    cringe of North Korea to take an android phone and remove it’s side loading capability so that it can only run apps signed by the manufacturer like the iphone this youtuber uses.

      That’s the thing when it comes to news about North Korea and really any Bad Country. There’s little information in English, so at best they just pivot to irrelevant shit to pad time, or at worst they just make up shit or regurgitate Very Reliable Intelligence Sources

    This guy is the living embodiment of r*ddit. No soul, no consciousness, just a meat markov chain trained on r*ddit comments. Him and all the midwits that watch him should be taken out back and shot.
