All I know about Huawei is that they produced what seemed like at least half of welfware phones—the kind available to anybody on most any kind of welfare, including EBT—and these phones were utter garbage. Reasonably, one could say they had ripped off the government, these phones were such crap. Screen a .5mm pane of brittle glass that a tap could break. Barely ran android, laden with crapware, basically needed to be plugged into a power source at all times. Some you couldn't get the SIM card out, like to put in your late model Samsung Galaxy. Pure garbage, yet the welfare service the phones are supposed to support is extremely valuable to a lot of people.


And this is different than almost all of the sub $100 phones sold through companies like MetroPCS?


Your Tax Dollars At Work different.
