[Bradford] I lost me Phone!

[Moanin]

Hi Folks,

I lost my mobile phone today. As it's almost as old and knackered as me 
I don't feel it's such a great loss apart from contacts and a small 
number of other details. I've been chuntering on about buying a new one 
for some time, so this gives me the impetus even if the old one turns up 
again.

What I'm looking for now is a recommendation for a replacement. Not a 
lot of the Google, even less of the Apple, just a little bit of the Open 
Source and a lot of freedom from being spied upon.

If there is such a thing as a spy free phone in our "democratic" (sic) 
society, an idea of where to buy it would be helpful, too.

Huawei look tempting, with their EMUI OS which appears to tick some of 
my boxes. Does anybody know much about them? I know John Hudson had an 
older model last time the topic came up in conversation but that was a 
while ago. Any updates, John?

Apart for an eyewatering price for the cheapest lurching skywards from 
model to model, is there much practical difference between the Huawei 
p40, p40 Pro and P40 Pro+?

The Mate Xs is a bit two grand for me.

All ideas fitting the above description, including but not restricted to 
Huawei, accepted and absorbed without hesitation.

TIA,

Mike
