I'm tempted to switch to Huawei next time I buy. Especially with them being barred from using Google Play Store. If there's going to be a line in the sand I want to be on the Huawei side sooner rather than later... it's just gonna be a massive effort decoupling from my reliance on Google account stuff, but I have a feeling it's going to happen sooner or later living in Hong Kong.

Huawei doesn't really solve the headphone jack and battery issues, although I guess that's another perk of living in a country that invests in public infrastructure: it's like listening to Americans complain about the cost of owning a car. If you live in a country with good public infrastructure, you don't need a car. If you live in a country where wireless or USB-C headphones are affordable and good quality and there's wireless chargers built into cafe tables and USB power ports on all the buses...
