Opinion post byJimmy Westenberg Right now, my Google Pixel 3 is sitting on my desk in its natural habitat: on the Pixel Stand. It lives there now — not because I want it to, but because I can’t get away with using it as my main smartphone any longer. The battery life is just too poor.Surprise, surprise, right?

More sites will likely follow suit, either by hiding or completely wiping store pages for Huawei’s phones, tablets, and laptops. Still, there are a few places where you can find them. We’ve listed those retailers below, and have included a note on the range of devices … [Read more...] about The few places where you can still buy a Huawei phone in the US
