I never update and never felt the need to. People complain of all sorts of problems after updates all the time. Yet they still can't wait to do it. The definition off insanity...

This article claims that not getting a major OS makes it not last longer.....
This is an interesting claim seeing how large the fragmentation on android is with tonnes of people still on nougat..
All while phones getting updates sometimes get bricked or slowed down artificially.

Even 950XL got some value if there is someone working on OS, even if not the same as intended. W10 on Lumia is for example running smooth, calls and all besides camera for now.

[deleted post]Yep, i'd have no problem with a phone without google apps, i'd even have much more battery life.
I do have a problem with lack of headphone jacks, however.
Besides, Huawei's problem right now is mostly the Arm license, not the OS. So the question is will they be able to manufacture any kind of smartphone.

Once the OS and app store are that big that they cover 30/40% of global smartphone market (like Huawei, BBK and Xiaomi do), Google would be wise to list their apps on this new App store by default (they list their apps on iOS store which is probably only 15% global market).

"And even if you weren’t planning on selling it, it won’t get the next major OS upgrade, meaning you may have to get a new phone sooner." Why, just why should anyone have to get a new phone sooner just because they don't be getting the next OS upgrade? Android Pie is already a great OS and I bet the next two OS upgrades won't bring much, at least not enough to justify buying a new phone for. Any Huawei flagship that came out in the last two years will still be relevant for the next two years (their hardware, battery and camera are top of the line). Plus I'm sure Huawei's OS won't be that bad either. I'm sticking with Huawei, the first retailer that'll sell the P30 Pro for 400€ (because that's the maximum I'm willing to give for a phone), I'm buying.

But instead of relying on Android Open Source develop a new OS together with other OEM's. So the new OS runs on all Chinese brands as well as entice foreign OEM's like LG/Sony etc to use it. Entice with lower royalties/fees to OEM's and App developers to list their apps on the new App store that comes with the OS. Similar to what Epic is doing to Steam.

Well I'd get onto this opportunity to get a 2nd hand P30 Pro at rock bottom price.
In my opinion, the Huawei ban is most likely used as a leverage for the China trade as trump is losing approval ratings and wants to boost his popularity as "the one who made a great deal with China and crippled them" for the 2020 election hoping to get re-elected
