Why none of these Chinese brands doesn't try to set themselves apart, and dare i say innovate by making a true open phone, documented hw, etc, with at least an open version of android, i don't even ask for one of the true Linux OSes.
Someone in China needs to develop a Mobile OS not Android. Until that happens, they ain’t going anywhere long term and the same applies to personal computers too. Eventually, that has to happen if you wanna get to the next level.
They innovated in different ways. No other phone comes close to the battery density and charging speed.
