          I have been using a honor Play for the past two years and I haven't seen any major performance degradations or "lag" ( Still running PUBG and COD at 60 fps) . The phone came with emui 8.1 and got a major update to emui 9.1 and thats it.. No emui 10...and thats what disappointed me the most. Back in the day, they released this phone as a "gaming phone" with flagship specs such as the kirin 970 and 4D game shock (also came with a flagship price tag). Hope I would get the harmony OS Upgrade.. -_-

            If it can act as a substitute for Android, less privacy intrusive and better apps support
            And
            Lower price...

            I may switch to huawei.

              I curious see how well harmony os works out since it's a forked android version.

              How well are they going to do on software updates, since it forked android what happens to the security patches android releases is it compatible or is Huawei going release patches of their own.

              All these very interesting to see.

              Are they going Apple route give 5 year updates.

                  And yes xiaomi phones were cheaper
                  But now!
                  Pleaze check redmi 10 ,it is not really cheap
                  We can find better phones in that price really better phones!
                  Nowadays huawei phones are more expensive than last years because it can’t supply a lot of phones for sanctions
                  But realme and vivo and zte and oppo and new honor phones are more affordable

                      Y7p under 250$ release with emui 9 and now it has emui 10.1
                      Honor 9x release with emui 9 and now it has emui 10.1
                      Honor 8x under 250$ release with emui 8.1 and now it has emui 10

                      These phones are uner 250$ and they have at least one major updates!
                      What about Xiaomi? It just release one major update android for redmi note 8 2019 despite xiaomi is not under sanctions like Huawei!
                      If some phones like y6p and y5p didn’t get major update because these phones are under 200$ and if get updates like 300 and 400$ phones so what is different between 400$ phones and 150$ phones software?

                                  Hopefully they also include those old devices for the harmony. I bought the NOVA3, not the 3i. Its a bit expensive for 250$. So i think they should also consider this device to receive the updates.

                                    Also can Huawei look into having China made after market car android players switching to Harmony OS. It will be way better than Android with the low end processors and limited ram on those devices currently sold in the market..

                                      Why Huawei left out Nova 2i for the Harmony OS update? Can Huawei please look into it?
