Hey all,
I currently have a Nexus 5 and I am pretty happy with it but it looks like I may get a P7.
My question is: what is your opinion of you could choose? Would you get the P7 or the Nexus 5?

If you're interested in Custom Roms and control over your phone, don't get a P7. Huawei has obviously imposed many hurdles to create custom ROMs what made me very dissatisfied. I also know a lot about their software development from an internship and it's too bad. They should stick to creating great hardware and leave the software to people who know it better.
Well, I'm quite satisfied with my brand new P7. I am used to iOS devices, and I will never-ever go back. Love the design, Android, but dislike Huaweis EMUI.
So maybe the question should rather be if you want the pure Andriod OS or if you can settle with the EMUI packed in sweet design (really love the P7 design, as you might figure).
Good luck.
Sent from my HUAWEI P7-L10 using XDA Free mobile app
After I opened this thread I asked myself: why choose when you can have both?
So now I got both, will see how it goes and will decide on one
Thanks all.
Huawei Mobile*has released the Android 7 Nougat update for the P9, P9 Lite and Mate 8 devices. Why they haven't done the same for the P8, P8 Lite and Mate S, this*only leads to one conclusion:
Huawei*only cares about the factory line revenue generation of their P9, P9 Lite and newer devices! All you customers who purchased new P8, P8 Lite and Mate S*a few months back, you can be sure that Huawei*only wants you to buy a newer mobile phones and leave older devices even if they are still sufficient by hardware side.
The hardware requirements for Android Nougat are irrefutably the same as Android Marshmallow.* Where is 18 month software support?

dont bother, Android 7 API is not compatible with P8´s GPU, therefore, its not possible to make it official way, youre loosing your time

If I remember correctly it isn't really Huawei's fault. Google doesn't support the version for P8 because of security issues.
Anyway I wouldn't really looking for the Android 7.0, most of the UI is available in Launchers like Nova and other pars of it doesn't really make much of a difference.

EMUI 5 uses new filesystem format which makes phone faster and makes the phone fast even after a long time of usage becauses it doesnt fragment data, i think it could be noticable in midend phone like P8, shame we wont have it...

Yeah, imo Huawei should've though ahead about their hardware compatibility.

Surprisingly the HTC One M8 which is also incompatible with Vulkan, is getting Nougat update in the US.

i dont know M8 but what i can say is huawei itself comfirmed that model P8 wont get further versions of android except those with security patch, Have HTC ever said that they will never get nougat? i think that even if huawei could bring it to us later, they just wont anymore, they released TOO many new devices since then, if they had to maintain all of them they would get crazy and no profit from that what so ever, if there is any hope is very, very small, and i dont have any anymore
I don't have a P8 but I remember always wanting one due to the awesome design. If developers can port Nougat to My Galaxy S4 then I really don't see why Hauwei can't make an official release for the p8. With 2 year software updates the norm I find this extremely unacceptable. The vulkan requirement is false, for I can run nougat on a S4 (custom ROM) and have no graphical issues at all. Good luck with your petition.

nope, you ain't seeing nougat on p8. we chinese users have been asking huawei since the release of emui 5, and all the answer from them is "no major functional upgrades, but security patches will continue". so stop hoping for official emui 5, and cross your fingers for third-party flavors like lineage. btw based on the status of the cm13 and lineage13 here, lineageos suooprt seems promising.

That's a compromise you have to take. It's the same for almost all phones. My S4 has worse quality but not too bad

thats right, unfortunatelly im not willing to take this compromise, the phone takes fantastic photos and it doesnt pay off just for some extra features that doesnt matter in real life anyway, emui has everything that people could need, awesome battery life, fast ui, great phone manager and the most important for me, pro camera

Hi Guys,
It seems official update to Nougat has been delayed due to some technical problems which were experienced by open BETA testers, see below source.
https://www.huaweiblog.de/news/huawei-p9-lite-nougat-update-verzoegert-sich-wohl/
Well I think it's better to receive polished software even if it will take few more weeks. From the other hand I'm on B336 since beta project and it's working as a charm, no issues that could justify any delay like that on my phone.
Cheers!
Those are obvious marketing strategies. Huawei wants you to buy newer models and that's it. Let's just enjoy our phones regardless, Nougat is a pretty minor update after all. All this hype has no sense, for me.

I agree, but in case of P9 lite we have new UI which suits me better than old one. Pure nougat is not big improvement, EMUI 5 I think is.

Minor xD? Its more major than kitkat to loollipop
guys, for the huawei devs, p9 lite is not a priority any more, new huawei phones are in line and p9 lite sw is in background, any way, its not big deal to stuck on mm for now, you will get really tired from 7, i work in service shop and i tested p9 with 7, no big deal.
for me most important is to fix the jpeg engine on camera, to fix the sharpness on the photos, and autofocus on video.
Hi all...my Nova plus is dead so,now got a brand new P10...
and really miss Emui4 so...
is there a wai to replace VTR-L09C654B213 ( emui5) with an emui 4 firmware ?
For God's sake why would you want EMUI 4?
No, it isn't possible. P10 came with newer Android with EMUI 5 preinstalled. This downgrade is merely impossible
I prefer emui4...sorry ?
Thanks for the answer tho ??
Because EMUI 4 was much more user friendly. I miss it too. EMUI 5 is closer to stock Android which is a bad thing, aside from die-hard geeks there's not much love for it.
Guys i need your advice.
I'm thinking about switching my p30 pro to mi10 pro? What do u think about that?
I heard that huawei is willing to sell it's smart phone business.
Can i get your opinion?
Thanks a lot.
And how does it affect us, Huawei users, that they sell the phone division ??
The phone will continue to work as before ... if you are satisfied, keep it; if not, you change it.

Please there are custom roms out there. Miui crap and emiui crap are same. Pure aosp is love. As far as I can tell when you are on xda you definitely know what is custom rom right! Emiui is riddled with so much crap that phone lags like hell. Compare my honor 5x with android 10 when honor ditched it with android 6 and that too use to lag like hell lol. So never buy a honor device in future or just don't buy any device which can't be unlocked in first place or just buy apple locked s***

You'll lose wireless/reverse charging, OLED screen, DEX like computer mode and a top class camera array so keep your P30 Pro. Really you should only consider the jump if your battery isn't holding out or you're pissed at the lack of updates as the M10T is a downgrade in all but the CPU/GPU.

Huawei never have battery problems compared to Xiaomi as MIUI crap drains battery crazy.
Maybe Xiaomi is not a good choice in case of replacing a huawei phone.
