So I hate Samsung with a passion as their components and after purchase support is typically terrible. Also I don't need to support an aristocratic Chaebol and supporting a worker owned company feels better. I hate to bother people here, but info online isn't very clear.

Sorry for a list:

So does Gmail actually integrate with HarmonyOS as well as Huawei promises?
Do Firefox extensions work the same as on Andriod? (I can't find this answer online)
Are there gonna be any serious disadvantages? I don't game on my phone. Nearly everything is Firefox, Gmail, and YouTube.
Will Xi be disappointed with the volume of anime that I'm watching? Can I just pay a fine or do I need to turn up at the closest PLA overseas internment centre?

Last time I checked, you could only unlock Huawei phones through exploits. And while you can re-lock Xiaomi phones, they will always show the screen telling you the system is corrupted on boot. They were having supply chain problems with resellers flashing malware to their phones.
