    Wait, wasn’t HTC banned from US sales due to security concerns about Chinese devices?

      You’re thinking of Huawei. HTC is a Taiwanese company that used to be a major player among Android OEMs, but their business dried up and they exited the global market. I didn’t even know they were still making phones, to be honest.

          You are correct. I had a ZUK phone at the time, it kicked ass. Miss that little thing…

        I think I’m thinking of ZTE, the change was like 2016-2017.

        I had a ZUK phone at the time, and it was amazing. Lenovo bought them and incorporated them, and my Lenovo phone was also excellent but useless in the States due to using different bands/lack of software for the West.
