Any News about 7.0?

Hello all... Is there any updates about news for 7.0? When will it come? Oct, Nov or Dec? What will it have new?

7 minutes ago Mo Versi (@moversi) post a news about the October security update for A9, M9 and HTC10 (new security update will be OTA on 10/24) so i think that Nougat update will be very soon! ( i hope so)

We have an unofficial version of cm14, that's it as of right now

Page 93 of the CM13 thread someone gave a like to the file from their Google drive
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-a9/general/cm13-t3290846/page93

@htchelp stopped answering me about it when I called them on their BS canned responses. I asked what I can do as a consumer since they flat out lied to me, no reply in over a month.

Its horror waiting on update,and not just on HTC devices.I mean ,the best way is to buy Pixel phone.Its get always the newest software and this is the future,cos of security uodates.

In December it will be for A9!

Ohh, those dreams... I hope it is true.

Tired of waiting, bought the HTC 10...
It's a ****ing beast!

You should not have had to buy a new phone to get what you were promised.

Really disappointed from HTC, i think i will never trust again HTC.
first they say screen protection is gorilla glass 4 and after test shows its GG3 they hide it!
they promise 15 days update after nexus and now there is mouths and even M9 gets the update and we not.
feeling sad for buying A9

With HTC you are still one of the first to get the Nougat update.
True, they did say "15 days for A9" and that appeared to be a broken promise but still we're getting it very fast.
Come on, 2 months is not much. Be patient.

I bought it for that promise, and I preferred HTC instead of the Nexus 6p... totally disappointed with the "HTC marketing fail"

Technically they're still faster than the other OEMs around... maybe by the end of the month we're having Nougat on our devices...

I also bought it instead of Nexus 5, thinking a big company like HTC never broke a big promise like this, they dont peomise it for M9 but as we see secound device was that and we still remain on marshmallow! Ok 15 day is not possible for a big update like nougat and again ok htc 10 is flag ship, but why they release it for M9 but not for A9?!

Will the S8 have seamless updates?

I can't find any information on this, also a Samsung rep in a phone shop couldn't answer (the demo phone was actually running Android 6).
Anyone know?

That's what the rep said, but either way it's irrelevant to the question.

The rep had to have been wrong, and I'm sure it won't have seamless updates. You'll get Android O like 3 months before the S9 comes out...

The s7 just got nougat last month, a whole year after the first dev preview came out.

Don't count on it. Never happens with Samsung

Why rooting and unlock bootloader is desired, it extends the life of the device!

Luckily this is XDA though, the home of custom ROMs and Android development. Unless you're in the US with a locked bootloader, we have updates quicker and for longer than Samsung will provide for us. Extending the life of the phone. That's less the case than it used to be but still a boon. I swap phones every year though so it's not an issue for me personally.

No, it's a Samsung / Android phone.

you made me spit coffee

[Question] Will there be a oneplus 6t version? And when?

Are there Informations about a 6t-version?
When not:
When was the 5t announced? So is there a possibility to know if there will be a 6t version?

Hi,
I don't think I've seen any official statements on this. The 3T and 5T were both annouced in November of their respective years and available in the same month.
When the 3T came out, they said it was a one off due to the availability of the SD821. Last year they made no prior comment and then the 5T was launched with a bigger screen.
I would say that we won't get any confirmation until it happens... But I would bet money that there will be a 6T with some form of improvement over the OnePlus 6.
The OnePlus model is to sell a phone at full price with no discounts until it's next model comes out. When the phones were priced very low, they could do that because even after a year it was a competitive choice. Now after a year there are better phones coming out after a year. Moving to a 6 month cycle means they keep people interested and higher sales figures. It's also worth noting that they increased the prices on the 3t but not the 5t. If they are increasing prices on the t models it also means OnePlus are going to flagship territory pricing. Not necessarily flagship killer like they originally used to be. This isn't bad but just demonstrates how their business model is changing to that of a more mainstream brand (similar to Sony with its 2 flagships a year) rather than an upstart.

Thanks for the announcement details. I didn't followed this and now it's clear for me that speculating is pretty much useless!

Lol,
Pretty much...
My two cents is that I think there will be a OnePlus 6T but I will still be looking at the OnePlus 6. You get a phone with a new processor rather than waiting for the 6t when it's already half way through its product cycle.
The way they have supported the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 5 would seem to indicate they have the same software release cycle as the 3T and 5T respectively so might as well just get the OneOlus 6 when it's out. As for the 6T, it's just like the wider phone market... There are always new phones coming out with some latest feature so no point waiting as you will always be waiting for something better.

Yes, you can't wait to be "up to date". But 5 and 5t are pretty much different
When I know what are the details of the 6, I can see what I will do.
I'm willing to buy the phone my lgg4 is getting too old...

The release of a T version depends on a new chipset release by SD. If the Pixel/Note comes up with any later chipsets than 845, there are chances we would get a T device again.

Is it only chipset that would make A T version likely this year? The OP5T had the same chipset but it was down to the screen change?

The screen is already updgraded to 19:9 on the 6. I don't think we can see that going any further in 2018, at the max we can see an on screen FPS and a few camera tweaks. As I said earlier it depends on this year's pixel/note/iPhone release for further developments and market competitiveness

What do you think about this thing where people keep saying that the OnePlus 6T (that people automatically assume is coming) will definitely be notch-less ?

Well OnePlus will only start working on the next device after the release of OnePlus 6 and that can be either the 6T or something else so for now no one can confirm for sure. Also the release of the 6T shall depend on the future development in the world of tech and the other competitive devices to be released later in the year like the Pixel 3/Note/iPhone
If 6 is still competitive by the end of the year and there is no significant development in the world of tech, OP might hold its decision and rather release 7 instead of 6T

Hey buddy,
I've seen reference to late April in line with the launch of the Avengers film but I haven't seen a leak that gives a date and time? I tried to do a quick Google search but couldn't find it? Any chance you could share a link?

I'm not worried about a 6T. I got the 3T and then the 5. I skipped the 5T because it was an entirely different phone and I'm happy with my 5. I don't see what more they could pack into a new phone! The 6 will be loaded with the 845, so that won't be upgraded anytime soon. The RAM and storage will be huge so that's not an issue. The new camera and screen will be on point. Dust and water protection? I doubt it.

As much as I like the hardware Huawei's support sucks. The NA region is still stuck on 8.
Next time I will be getting a samsung tablet as much as I hate them.

US user, and this will be the last Huawei device I buy. One 'major' release, and virtually no security patches. North American market was sold a bill of goods. At least Sammy supports ALL their consumers.

Agree 100% Huawei can take there tablet and shove it as far as I see it.
Will be getting a pixel c or slate when I can justify it.

Hmm lol....well gonna pass on the "no more Huawei for me" train. I have found over the years most that say this never keep their word. I can show you the posts where M5 will NEVER get EMUI 9. And the post "no more Huawei for me". I've had almost all the name brand tablets over the years and the only one that STILL gets updates is one I could really careless about. Amazon
All I knew from the past, what I read about the M5 pro was, its on 8 and will never be updated. Some were people saying they talked to customer service. Yet when I asked them yesterday they said don't worry yours will get 9.1.1. And if 9 is Just coming out.. then 10 will be awhile. I do love Samsung but.. man as each day passes.. more AD's are being seen in programs than never before. As if my $800 was not enough. Its silly and just me I know but when just downloading a new theme I had to watch 14seconds.. things like that. And rooting on top of that was night mar. Unless you bought it out SIDE the USA (different chip set). I already know slow they are Huawei when it comes to updates.. I have p30 pro phone. And.. so.

At least many other OEMs that stop support for their tablets after the first major update, allow the bootloader to be unlocked. Thus I could use Custom ROMs to keep my tablet alive. With Huawei this isn't possible as well. So there's even one more bummer.

Don't forget Samsung explosive battery. It may come back with tab s7.

If anything, I've found Huawei better than most for updates. We've had a lot of discussion about the situation with Google and the US, at which point I changed to a Xiaomi phone, but still pleasantly surprised to get updates on my M5.
A colleague on the other hand, had hardly had any updates on his old Huawei handset, but still liked it enough to replace it with a P30 lite. So they're still doing something right.

You can thank that cretin trump. The M5 was android enterprise certified, with at least 2 major version updates, and 4+ years of support. That went out the window when Huawei got too god at making 5G hardware that US companies were left in the dust

The same happened to my previous Samsung Note Pro 12.2 tablet

I've just had M5 8 May security patch here in UK plus on build 9.1. For me I'm impressed with the updates.
On the other hand I have a M5 lite 8 and this is on January security patch.
Biggest problem with Android these fractured updates.

I had a major update to EMUI 9. I actually see on firmware finder that EMUI 10 is also out there. I'm not just sure if it has been approved for distribution. I also don't know if I want to test flashing it in case Huawei breaks root (again).

is it good to buy mate 30 pro in 2021

Dear Team,
I how you guys are doing amazing , i was about to buy new mate 30 pro for a very good deal but thought should i ask is it safe to buy mate 30 pro this year considering mate 30 is 2 years old mobile also Please confirm how many years Huawei software and security support is available ? is it 3 years or 2 years ?
Looking forward for your support on this cheers !

Hi guys. Looking for kind support on this please .

I have it, I use for camera. I have gone away from relying on google apps, found alternative. Only thing I hate is lack of updates and customization since I came from owning a S9+ for couple of years.
Battery is very good, I recommend. 7.5 outta 10, if there was more internal UI customization and quicker updates I would go for 9 outta 10.

Also. The price was very good, saved like $500 compared to new Samsung fan edition.

The Mate 30pro was released end of September 2019, that makes the oldest Mate 30 pro's 18 months, about 1.5 year old. My wife still receives security updates on her mate 20 pro so I believe they provide 3 years of security updates.

Amazing , one more stupid question if we compare redmi k40 with mate 30 pro and oneplus 8T what will be your choice ?

MY 2 cents here.. I wanted to get the Mate 30 pro so bad recently as a secondary phone, but the lack of google services, the difficiculty for sideloading some apps, reminded me of my times with the Blackberry Z10. I would choose something "more compatible" so to say, and wait until they announce google services can be in place again.

I just bought one. The price was the main reason. 400 euros for a absolutely new one with 2 years warranty . My main phone is Z fold 2 but here on first view the screen is crystal clear. Just beautiful. And I have used half a year an P40 pro without GMS. So this is not so bad for me. And the camera is also so so much more better. I thinking now to sell the Samsung one.
