So u think P30 will lose its' android functions because of the thing with America ? Well, first of all, I don't think Google would like to lose a client and it seems like it'll be America's and Google's loss if they don't work with Huawei because that would mean huawei would come stronger with their own system which is already happening and I think that's the reason USA kinda took a step back with their Huawei bs. Not that I ever used NFC properly but I think you're having a confusion. Android supports P30, it doesn't support Mate phones of Huawei, so yes my phone is play certified, not that I care really. I don't really feel Google or android is a must.
You came here 2 days ago asking for pre-purchase advice. Did you not expect to receive the Pros and Cons?
You push back when presented with well publicised facts, and absolutely the US decisions over Huawei will impact them deeply, and it will financially affect Google as well. But It's not Google's decision. In the end, they must abide by the law, whether they like it or not. For the record, I agree that the whole situation is absolutely ridiculous and foolish. Frankly, I am extremely pissed about Trump's asinine policies.
However, even if there were no legal issues, I would still tell people to stay away from Huawei, simply because of the bootloader policy. This is XDA, and website is a development community and we deeply care about software remaining open source and publicly available. XDA is not some marketing outlet for locked down phones.
Now that you have your phone and you like it, then go enjoy it. I can respect that, because yes is a sweet phone. But with major potential issues, and if you spent the full retail price, then you should definitely consider all factors. right?
In the end, I simply gave you warning about potential issues, intended as before buying advice. That is the whole this point of this thread, You already bought the phone and that is final. So go enjoy it and whatever happens is not for us. to decide only time will tell if it was a good decision. I sincerely hope that it works out well for you and that you get at least 3 to 4 years of normal use, along with reliable updates.

Aloha!
I'm here to ask the experts first before buying a new phone. My service is Boost and for the first time in my life, I am not trying to buy something cheap to save money, hence why I am asking before buying. I don't want to spend a grand or anything like that but I can afford something nice in the midrange category. The top thing I am looking for besides quality is a phone that I can reliably root. If I have to pay a little extra for a phone that I can root and do more with (and most importantly, delete all that bloatware!), it is worth the expense. I've used XDA once before a long time ago when I found someone who helped me root the phone I had. For simplicity, I hope this time to get something that is already known how to root. I'd be very happy to donate to anyone kind enough to help me with this process.
Thanks ahead of time.
The Xiaomi Mi9 is probably one of the best deals that you can find right now and it has flagship specs across the board :
At $349, you will probably not be able to find a better phone for the money.

If you want to spend a little less you can get the Mi8 right now for about$250 and it has 2018's flagship specs.

The camera's on both of these devices are absolutely stellar, both phones will play any game out there and both get incredible good battery life. The only real drawback is a 2 week wait to be able to unlock the bootloader. Outside of that I highly recommend both phones. If you want to spend a little more, at the moment you can find some great deals on One Plus and Pixel. But you will spend around $500 and both phones are truly no better , or much better than the Xiaomi phones.
