IMO the worst thing about Android is how much worse it is in migrating from phone to phone
With Apple you can buy a new one, login to your Apple ID to run an iCloud restore and everything will work immediately
While on Android you lose all your notes, all your clock settings, all your app and logins, all your pictures and have to manually transfer everything. Either that or you use some crappy phone clone app that messes up half the time
Why hasn't there been a unified effort by the Chinese OEMs to develop some kind of iCloud alternative? Imagine if you could switch seamlessly between Huawei and Oppo and Xiaomi just like Apple users do. It'd be a game changer and wipe out Samsung. Instead they stick to their own crappy cloud that nobody seriously uses. It makes all of them at risk of having their lunch eaten by Apple.

In the same vein, I'd like the various device hub thingies like
Xiaomi Smart Hub, Huawei Super Device and Honor Magic Ring to see each other. I don't want to be trapped in the ecosystem of one brand. I have collection of devices from all 3 brands and none of them talk to each other.

The fact that even the Chinese government and public institutions are still using Microsoft suites when there is a Chinese alternative itself is crazy. I thought all public institutions would have long migrated to WPS suites, giving the sensitive nature of using such a system for public companies/government . It’s like the US government deciding to use WPS or a Chinese software for her government needs . That will be unthinkable.
on another note, WPS is actually compatible with Ms word. So I don’t know why the article says WPS files can’t be opened by Microsoft files. I know since I’ve done that before.
The site while pretty feels like only 70% done missing pages, links giving 404, missing text sections.
Personally im more interested in what Chinese people will do with Open Harmony i personally hope that will become the linux of BRICS so to speak. Or at least get a lot of developers attention.
