Huawei used cheap-as-chips chips in some P10s, now buyers want to boil it in oil

This is a bad problem with Huawei. If you have the uk unlocked P9 you'll get a phone that was last updated with googles android security patches in September 2016 . Now why would you trust your banking, financial and personal data on a phone which hasn't had googles official security patches installed regularly ? To rub salt into the wound, they refuse to update the P9 to Nougat and Oreo. Huawei marketing seem to spend lots of times spreading rumours about their phones on social media but this is completely disconnected from the actual product quality, maintenence and customer service. I for one won't be buying Huawei ever again, their customer service team can't actually fix any problems and even extend their service to being sarcastic. Their maintenance plans for phones aren't worth anything as they'll do what they want anyway and as for product quality, the P9 is fairly well built but the software is OLD. Stay away from Huawei products and buy LG / Samsung / Motorola .

Huawei P9 Plus: Leica-toting flagship gets a big brother

Nice phone, cannot fault screen quality, battery life, speed, reliability and overall quality. However don't expect any updates from Huawei because they are shockingly appalling in making updates available. It's 1/2 way through 2017, Oreo has been announced yet Nougat is not available for UK users at all. The Hisuite application for UK users does not show any updates, it's not downloadable from their website although ironically a rollback package is ! There's been no announcements for uk users but huawei support insist it's being rolled out in the uk and you're one of the few who doesn't have the update. Maybe they think the public are droids and robots who will accept any old trashy statement but it's plainly obvious on twitter and facebook it just hasn't been rolled out in the UK. So great phone but bad support with zero updates from Huawei.
