It's not the phones that are (supposedly) an issue, it's that the company is setting up the actual data towers that will provide the 5G coverage - for all handsets, on all networks. Because its a Chinese company and the Chinese government has some laws in place that could mean they can demand that the company shares data with them, and thus, there are concerns about the Chinese government having access to personal data transmitted over 5G.

It doesn't matter what brand of handset you have, if the plan goes ahead all 5G data for the foreseeable future would go through Huawei data masts.

The handsets themselves are decent. Great camera.
