I have no regrets in changing over to this smartphone, just hope it holds up to wear/tear as my previous iPhones have.
You certainly wont see anywhere near the level of support, security patches, and OS updates you are used to with apple.
It's obvious you don't know much about Huawei phones. There are 5 firmware upgrades since May. And Huawei is already doing beta testing on Android Pie and expect to roll out soon for the P20 series.
I've had Pie for over a month now. That's a hell of a lot better than "soon". I know plenty about Huawei. I know they still have that POS EMUI skin. I know they aren't going to support the p20 with 3 years of timely updates and monthly security patches. Hell the first OS update is already a month and a half late. How fast you think they'll ship Android 10 next fall? Will they even bother? How many of their last year's phones have Pie now? How many of those have a snowballs chance of seeing 10 in the same calendar year it releases?
And compared to what Apple does? Apple's on a different level when it comes to support. My 2014 iPad will be getting iOS 12 today, day of release. It's 4 years old and still getting updates on day of release. Nobody can touch that. It'll get iOS 13 next year as well. I don't like iOS as an OS but Apple supports their products at an unparalleled level.
Yes Apple will always have that edge in terms of updates etc, but seriously, the benefits of Android in terms of flexibility, customisation, and way better cameras far outweigh the updates issue. I've been on Android for 2 years and have never had any update related issues. But I hated my iPhone 7 which I couldn't do that or this, or had to connect to iTunes first, cant have widgets, etc. I understand the benefits of a 'closed' system, and for some that's cool, but I want flexibility to do what I want, not be bound by the limitations of my phone... irrespective if there are some perceived benefits to that control by Apple. I will never go back until Apple put some of the control in the hands of the owners, not just the OS.
