Why people get so upset over word might? What do a Customer service from UK know of? I never believe this kind of news said unless it's official. Not some random email which customer service always give random answers each time you ask them

              Huawei screwing up customers as always. Their EMUI is a dissaster. And they does not care about it once a year passed.

                Had same problem with Mate S. Huawei customer service promised updates but in 2 years it still had NO updates of any kind and NO security patches. When I changed contract it was still on Lollipop. Huawei do not care at all once you have purchased their phones which is a shame.

                  Reason number 2 why I won't buy a Huawei or Honor phone. Despite having capable hardware, they just get abandoned. EMUI is heavy and needs to to be updated constantly to function smoothly. Without updates, which is a doubt, they're useless.
                  Reason 1 being they have most stupid service support.

                          Most phones that were released with lollipop are still stuck of lollipop.

                          Also If Android was better than IOS why would all Chinese companies Counterfeit / Ripoff IOS and paste it on Android.

                          IOS is Much Much Faster , has better hardware and software integration , Easy to use ,Gets the best apps first , No bloatware , Has one of best ecosystems.

                          IOS is more polished , Android is more open. Really it all depends of personal preference in the end.

                          I prefer Android But IOS is much better.

                              This is why you don't buy a Huawei. All them people who bought a p20 pro be prepared for Huawei to ditch software updates within after 1 major software update.

                                New OS it's not that important, security patches are.

So I would not mention it in the same breath as Androids. Even a Lollipop based Android phone is way ahead of an iOS device.

                                        This is what puts me off buying a Chinese phone. It might be cheaper but it sucks that they still live by the rule "what you buy is what you get".
                                        They're not that cheap to be considered single use disposables. :)
