techcrunch.com Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai 2025-10-14 16:44:20

During a press conference on Monday, Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, showed off a Huawei smartphone that China’s President Xi Jinping gifted him, calling it “the best phone in the world,” and making a bold claim. “The Americans can’t hack it, neither their spy planes, nor their satellites,” Maduro said. The phone looked like a Mate X6, a foldable phone released by Huawei in 2024. Obviously, nothing is impossible to hack, and even less so by U.S. government hackers, who are considered s

They look identical, sure, and have some interoperability, but there are ratings for different charging and data speeds. That can make choosing a USB-C cable more complicated than it should be.
