Better Android Updates

I am using Honor 6 plus now and planning to upgrade my device. Honor devices work great and are always value for money compared to other alternatives.

But the only thing which held me back so far is lack of updates. Most of the times there are two Android updates and then nothing.

Online forum and posts are full of reviews and comments about lack of updates. If Honor gets rid of this and provides timely updates then count me in

Wow! Hats Off man. Are you here to tell specifications or something? Infact all copied from Android Authority dot com.

This thread was created to encourage and not to be a spam.

Be aware and don't do such posts in future anywhere on xda. This is not good.

Well I currently own the Pixel 2 XL and am very happy with it :)

The reason I would like to own the Honor 9 Lite, would be to replace my wife's shattered Z2 Plus so that I can watch my daughter shatter an 18:9 display phone :)

Joking aside, would love to gift my wife this phone so that I do not need to spend on the screen replacement which is a pain with non-removable battery. Also love the optimizations and useful tweaks in the EMUI which I have used in the 6x before. Just like MIUI, Its far more intuitive than some other android skins.

lets be honest i'll tell anything to win this phone. I can dream about telling so many things but this is a decent phone and would be better than my current one . i would like to win one
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] arnz:
surprisingly Honor has done some good job in the smartphone world in the last few years. I would definitely like to try this awesome device if I win it.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gixchi:
i am using xperia z3 from past few years, and when the screen broke, i paid huge money to get screen fixed, only because the device has XDA support and it get all latest OS support.

If Honor is doing this, then i am interested to buy it as the spec /design looks great for given price. perfect VFM(Value For Money).

cheers.

Looks good

Currently using an aged Oneplus 2 and looking for an upgrade which the honor 9 lite fits perfectly. Not only is the screen size handy, it is also quite stylish to just carry one.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] xavier666:
I'm currently using a OnePlus 3 with Experience OS. However, I wanted to try out a good phone with an OEM UI; EMUI seems quite nice. As per reviews of their previous phone, EMUI seems to be quite lightweight. Another thing that I wanted to try out is their processor. I have been team Snapdragon for a long time, but Kirin seems to be catching up. It seems that they have employed the big.LITTLE architecture on this processor. I want to see how it actually performs in the wild.

Hi, I am using LeEco Le Max 2. and I definitely need a upgrade. If i win I will use Custom ROMs and help developers in finding bugs as a beta tester. :)
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] JammerKing:
Well right now I am using Yu Yuphoria 5010A Android version with custom rom the thing is Honor is new Brand in Market and it is picking up very fast the budget phone Rank so well the Thing I like about Honor 9 lite is

1) Budget Phone,

2) Quad Cam (first in budget phone range),

3) The design is Fab, I mean Really Fab,

4) Latest Android Oreo 8.0.0 (well 8.1.0 is in beta) and latest EMUI.

[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] mintypie:
I don't expect to win this phone so just writing out the truth here.

I'm using an old Honor phone - the Holly first gen. Bought it when it first released on FK. The camera sucked, the battery life sucked, the security and OS updates in it sucked - because they never came even once. ****ty phone. The only good point about it was, it was built like a tank. I must have dropped it around 10-15 times by now from various heights and the phone just got bruises or chips in its plastic edges. If it wasn't for xda developers here, we wouldn't even be having Nougat on the stupid Holly phone.

Your company has a history of not updating users phones because they are mid or low end. It sucks for us consumers. I would love to tell people to buy Honor phones but don't tell them because your update history is non existent. You don't sell phones and leave people high and dry without security or OS updates. Doing such things shows that your company does not care about service at all. Its just sell and sell and let everything else go to the dustbin. People who bought Honor once like me will never buy it again. You hear this? Yeah, I'll never use a Honor phone again even if I got it for free.

What I'm looking forward to in the Honor 9Lite?

Frankly, It looks amazing in design and hopefully it works amazing too. I'm sure its built quite well. I don't expect anything great from those cameras. Hopefully 4 cameras = better camera quality and speed? If not then its just marketing gimmicks.

Mostly, I also hope Honor updates their phones to Android 9 or 10 later in coming years when those Android versions come out.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nikola6511:
Old honor LOL.

How is the honor 8 old??

I know it doesnt make a big difference, but let people with ****tier phone get more chance to win.

Honor 9 lite is even weaker than honor 8
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] Moses Jiji:
I'm Currently using Samsung Galaxy Note II. I'm Looking on -

1. How Good the Kirin 659 Octa-core processor will perform.

2. The Camera- Dual Front and Rear Camera

3. The EMUI 8.0.

4. Its Battery Life

5. Its shiny Design

Totally Love it!!

honor 9 lite is excellent in photography its really impress me
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] DroidSaroj:
Prove me wrong but I am not going to win this and have never been so optimistic of winning either. But i guess my Galaxy S4 with lineage OS 14.1 soon needs a replacement.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
Haha this one is tricky. I am currently using Xiaomi A1 and I don't think Honor 9 lite can be any better than A1. I have never used Honor product before so it's hard to say. Checking the specs, there does not seem to be much difference among Honor 9 lite and Xiaomi A1.

Things Honor 9 lite is doing better than Mi A1:

1. Bigger screen size (5.65 vs 5.5) but still less weight (149g vs 165g).

2. Glass back.

3. Expandable storage upto 256gb (vs only 128gb on A1).

4. 13MP rear camera.

5. Lot of colour choices.

Obviously, if I win I can compare the two in detail and post a review on my YouTube channel.

I am currently using Honor 6x. Honor 9 lite's 18:9 display makes it look extraordinary from other phones & also its front facing camera is just awesome. Android Oreo availability in Honor 9 lite takes this phone to a next level. Nice job Team Honor :)
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] siniranji:
I came from Nexus, MotoG2 and settled to oneplus X & Moto X Force, now Mi A1, thinking of migrating to honor only because of the futuristic thinking of Huawei Engineers impressed me. The concept of NPU never occured to anyone but you. But please get rid of EMUI, the only weakest link in your mobile. I prefer androidone concept or oxygen OS like custom OS with stock android look. The users in India are well matured and smart enough to choose the best.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nikola6511:
Well huawei(honor) just announced that all honor 8 and 9 devices will get oreo and emui 8
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] priyanshuone6:
Hats off to this Beauty!!

I love the aspect ratio (18:9) of this phone. The mirror glossy look at the back of the phone makes it look more premium and more importantly it was released with Android Oreo.:good::good:
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] siniranji:
Last but not the least, hopping someone will read, the friendly relation with XDA Forum and developers is another key area, which impress me a lot, thanks for reading
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] blazzer12:
My present phone is Zenfone 2. I am excited to learn about Honor 9 Lite.

The most interesting thing is the quad camera. Guess when I post my pics on social media, my friends will know they are so good because I got a Honor 9 Lite.

Another thing is the fingerprint unlock. I am very security conscious. So I put all these pins and passwords to my lock screen and apps. With finger print sensor I can be sure my device is both secure and easy to unlock.

I live in a area with spotty cell reception. Nothing excites me like a phone that claims to have "stronger signals and higher quality communications even in areas with generally weaker reception". That would be a great advantage to have a phone that could do better in areas with bad cell reception.

All in all Honor 9 Lite seems to be the best value for money, exactly how I like it.

Always been a fan of the Honor phones and I even recommended my brother to take the Honor 9 last year. He still loves it. Although I haven't seen it, I saw in YouTube that it's quad cams are perfect and the display is gorgeous too. Plus the build is chic! What more could I ask for!

[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] GOMES07:
well..

i liked the way they gave the honor 9 lite a classy finish.The proceesor HiSilicon Kirin 659 Processor is the same as honor 7x so its kinda difficult to choose which one to buy but the camera is a plus point for 10,999 both the front and the secondary. As the primary camera allows the blur the background which.i would prefer snapdragon over kirin processor.

otheriwse the phone is amazing.

I'm using LG G6 right now. kind of excited about the quad cameras in Honor 9 Lite, Full view FHD display with the bokeh effects. Not to mention the blazing fast fingerprint sensor and EMUI 8.0.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] YouColdYet:
I using a zte blade A320 for my daily driver not the best phone like my previous HTC One M8. What I'm looking forward with this phone are the fingerprint scanner, camera and the 18:9 feel. You must be wondering why I'm looking forward to a fingerprint scanner lol, I've never experienced using a fingerprint scanner on a phone and seems to unlock quickly as they stated "0.25s". Secondly the camera curious how the quad cameras will work especially with the front facing cameras. And lastly I'm excited for the slimmer design and one handed usage overall I'm excited to to try and rock this phone as my daily driver if I'm the lucky winner!

My current phone is a Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro.

I've heard alot about Huawei's Honor line-ups and been watching some reviews of it over youtube. However, I haven't ever tried any of the Honor phones even once since they aren't that very popular here in the Philippines and is very less recognized. I am looking forward and I also hope to win this Honor 9 Lite and experience the real #HonorExperience.

I can't wait to know how the Honor 9 Lite will surprise me! Who knows I'll be loving to get another Honor device soon for my next personal phone too? :)

Honor9lite: Budget friendly premium trend-setter Aka Glass Back Design+ 4 cameras?

Currently I am using Samsung J2, 2016 edition, which currently falls in same price bracket to that of Honor9lite.

Really, what we can easily percieve on seeing "Honor9lite" ::It's definitely a premium phone, look at the finish:: "The glossy glass design with intriguing colours with an icing of quad cameras , that's really a boon for selfie user like me."

Selfie Boookeh effect, front camera with 13+2 MP shooter awesome!!!.??It never looks like a budget smart phone.My Samsung doesn't has any of it.What's more to feast on is 13+2Mp rear camera with wide aperture mode.No phone in this price bracket provides such features (Take example of my Samsung J2 6:: still available for INR 9600)

High pixel density display with 428 PPI which is almost flagship display leveller that too FHD + 18:9 display.??

Kirin 659 is utopia compared to spreadtrum SC8830 1.5Ghz quad core processor which is very laggy.No gyroscope, nothing ? ?on my Samsung J2.

What I really look forward to is Treble support Android Oreo 8.0 and EMUI 8.0 which is highly customisable and flexible. Additional, it will get face unlock too via OTA?

At last what I look forward to Honor9lite is its "Swag Design" , instead of mainstream metal body design "" Glossy Glass Body""" will really let me stand out of crowd.

In the past nearly 4 years I was a huge Xiaomi fan and I own 6 MI devices. But last week my best friend came over with the P10 and that blown me completely away. This was the very first time I held a Huawei in my hands and tested the EMUI. And it was awesome. Then I checked the pictures he made with this phone. Amazing. Today I saw a review about the Honor 9 lite and I've made a decision: this will be my next device. Fantastic specs, not an ordinary design for a nice price. It is time to try something new.

I actually have a VERY interesting post and it's the truth.

WHY did Huawei Honor even release an Honor 9 Lite, was it even necessary?

I own the Huawei Honor 7X. Aside from a bigger battery and slightly larger screen, every other aspect and specification is 100% the same. Why release such an identical phone? It really was unneeded, manufacturers nowadays release too many phones on a yearly basis, many being too similar in specification.

Why even look at or buy the Honor 9 Lite? For a similar price you already have the 7X which has a bigger screen and better battery!

Huawei stop releasing too many phones being too similar regarding looks and specification!
