I think the demo ICS preinstall on consumer phone is not by Huawei, but it is by shop owner eager to show that Honor is ICS ready.
BTW, demo ICS is not that bad. After 2 days plus using stock GB, I take back my opinion that GB is faster. ICS is faster, but not as stable as GB.
The ICS version that came with my phone is 4.0.3. and I think it is not a demo version but more on an silent official release. Stability seems to depend on what and how much software did you put into your phone. Just after I reset my phone + formatting the sdcard it seems the phone is fast, no problems and runs stable. However when I start installing all kind of my fav apps things begin to slide.
Even the problem with the battery drain seems to come not from ICS but from Exchange services which kept running and taking the power to stay alive and trying to do its job of syncing with the server.
In the end I believe we does have to realise that what ever we choose to use have to use power thus selecting how to use it and when to use it does great difference in the power consumption of our smartphone.
For instance.. I have turn off the auto sync feature of everything and does it manually and i saw that the battery does stand a chance to live through the day for normal use.
Maybe the ICS can be optimized further more but for now ICS 4.0.3 is already good. Maybe I like GB more because the first phone is using GB 2.3.4 but things change and changes usually is good.
