Smartphone Mid-Life Crisis: When Your Device Accuses Google of Scandalous Behavior

In the latest tech soap opera, Huawei, Honor and Vivo smartphones are crying wolf, accusing the Google app of being TrojanSMS-PA malware. Are these Android Malware False Positives or is there a Trojan in our midst? Google denies any wrongdoing, but the devices aren’t backing down. Buckle up, it’s “he said, she said” in gadget-land.

Hot Take:
