she is fine with any phone, I guess.

Thank you all for your inputs, I will go with mate 20 then.

I guess u mean m20. Thanks.

Depending on what you want. Dunno where u heard Huawei firmware update more frequent than Samsung. Answer is no.

Hardware? U have to compare the specs. They are compatible.

/\ reply most of your question.

But there have Inb4.
Major or security update will depend on huawei team progress or beta team progress.
mostly 1-2 month for new flagship but no promise.

Spec wise, now day phone just too fast... There no need to picky on that other then screen and design

Based on my personal experience, I think Samsung got the more frequent updates, but it’s been close to a year since I last owned a Huawei phone. Not sure if that’s the case now

My old S7 edge phone still receives occasional security updates, that phone is 3 years old?

Now i don't think huawei 3 years old phone still receives any security updates.

Hope that answers your question.

Correction, mate 9 3 years ago receive android 9 recently....

Ya... My example is my wife S7 edge which owned earlier than my P9 Plus which now still got firmware update and the P9 Plus stopped since mid of 2018.

Wow, that's nice.

Means can buy Mate series but not P series?

It's timing. Mate 9 only launched 6 months after P9 series.

Yes. So pie I think will be last update for mate 9

20X latest firmware update with Apr security patch

Wow. Lightning fast.
M20p still on March

Hi guys, I've encrypted some video in file safes, right now it can't be found in file safes but the encrypted video still in my sd card, anyway to decrypt it?

Just updated

For me yes, even for 2 years old Mate 9 Huawei still upgrade it to Android 9, I just upgrade mine last week, not sure will 9.1 come to Mate 9 or not

For Samsung, I can't speak for their phone but I do own their Tab S2 8" tablet (Android 5.0) from 2016, the update frequency is slow, only gor 3 to 4 update on the first year, then suddenly come out 1 major Android 7 upgrade in earlier 2018, and then no more update, still using the table for games and reading news only thing is the battery cannot last

Samsung Flagship (S series and Note) will have 2 major OS update, after 2 major update, very very rare update. Means after 2 years, not much update. Not sure about Huawei since just migrated to Mate 20

Huawei next major update coming soon:
