Huawei's hilariously bad new phones

Chinese telecommunications firm Huawei released its new phones, the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro, on Thursday. They don’t exactly suggest a company that wants to be a global leader in telecommunications services.

Thanks to the Trump administration’s wise export restrictions against the company, the new phones are not compatible with Google’s Android software and do not provide access to Google’s App store. That means they have very limited utility for the modern smartphone user.
