We are back after a two week hiatus. We are finally repopulating the office after a few months under quarantine. This week’s show is quite big though. We are taking a deeper stab and discussion about what happened between HUAWEI, ZTE, and FCC last week. FCC has finally banned HUAWEI and ZTE from being used by any American contractors using the federal subsidy for all communication devices. This is a huge problem for us who are quite big fans of their smartphones with Google Play Services. This announcement sets them back on the progress toward having Google Play Services in their newer devices too.
We saw a few ASUS notebooks being launched starting with ASUS’ ExpertBook B9 notebook PC made for business. We also see the VivoBooK S launched last week. We reviewed it of course, and you can find the link here. Then we got to see the soon coming ASUS ZenBook 13 and 14 flagship notebook PCs.
We also saw OnePlus launching a brand new smartphone in the OnePlus Nord. The OnePlus Nord is OnePlus’ attempt to hit back into the budget smartphone market. Everything about it screams mid-range too, which makes sense with its price. So, should you still get a HUAWEI device? Listen on and see what we think! Let us know what you think too in the comments below!
