rizki1, 18 Sep 2022And again, I'm not saying "India exclusive" ... moreI get your point, but GSMa caters to a wider audience. Not to a restricted audience. What you're suggesting is simply a no-no!

      won't even bother to consider this at all coz of the installed android 10 version. android 13 is already released by Google and samsung will be releasing it version soon. so that will be 3 generation away and if honor doesn't upgrade the software some app will soon be of limited use or can't be use on it

          rizki1, 18 Sep 2022I didn't say Indonesia represent to the world..."We get weird news like this because it's released for China only... Why do we outsiders have to get this news?"

          If many users on this site gets news of devices that aren't globally available, like many that are sold in India, why do you have issues with articles that cover China-only devices?

          You came with the defense that the India-exclusive ones are also available in Indonesia (which is most probably false, by the way), implying that since they are available in Indonesia, that's it's global, and, therefore, the rest of the world.

          That's hypocrisy!

                Anonymous, 17 Sep 2022Joke's on you GSMArena, I much prefer Android 10 to 12... moreOh, because you prefer it, others do? Or maybe that makes it a new OS version, right? Funny logic. 😂

                  you have to suffer, 18 Sep 2022most people consider android 10 ancient because they no lon... moreSome companies are just too stingy to provide security patch updates for older phones that still run Android 10, even though Google still clearly supports it so far. So when Android 10 phones are "no longer receiving any updates", it's clearly phone companies' fault.

                  Also, there are only a few cases of applications that require the new Android version to run properly, usually applications that require the newer Android version are Android applications that require features that are in an Android version and above that are not present in the previous version. Most applications that do not require a special feature that is not in older versions of Android can still run smoothly on older versions of Android (As long as your hardware specification is sufficient to run the application. If it is too minimal, don't blame your Android version). Even if you search the Play Store, there are still quite a number of applications that support Android 5 and 6, even though there are not many Android 5 and 6 users in 2022.

                    notafanboy, 17 Sep 2022yes ancient. Just because your phone still runs on android ... moremost people consider android 10 ancient because they no longer recieve updates and new apps needs newer android to run properly.

                        maknae, 17 Sep 2022"ancient" yes ancient. Just because your phone still runs on android 10 doesn't mean it's not ancient.

                            There's no way honor would keep this exclusively in China. Problem is, who still wants a tablet with ancient A10? Maybe honor should walk the path of OnePlus ages ago, being friendly with developer community.
