It will likely be a few years before we get phones like this in the US. Right now only Chinese and Russian manufacturers make them, and they all block the Google Play store. It's easier to bypass on the Yotaphone 3 than it is on the Hisense A5C but periodically when either the phone software or Google Play store app update, compatibility is broken.

The community is quick to find workarounds, it's just a lot of hassle and fucking around to make a basic function of the phone work. If you can get Play Store working long enough to get all your usual apps on it, or if you have APKs you can sideload to install manually, this becomes a much smaller problem. Still, on top of all that, it is probably packed with back doors, spyware and so on. So are all smartphones, the only choice we really have is which government they report the information they collect to.
