A German regulator said it was launching a security investigation into certain Chinese-made smartphones after Lithuania warned of built-in censorship and surveillance capabilities.
Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security told the Deutsche Presse-Agentur that a probe into a number of Chinese cellphones was underway, targeting the Huawei P40 5G, Xiaomi Mi 10T 5G, and OnePlus 8T 5G. The office is under the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building, and Community.
