Bad news for the users of these two devices that are relegated by the firm itself. This time we are talking about Huawei P8 that have a year of life and the Mate S that will not receive the new version Android 7.0 Nougat.
This is undoubtedly one of the things for which there is a fragmentation between the different versions of Android and that in the end they end up harming the user. The new version of Android arrived this summer and in the case of the Huawei P8 we are talking about a device that was launched in April 2015. In the case of the Mate S, it is true that it has been on the market for longer and has not achieved the success of the P8 in the old continent.
The leak of the list of smartphones of the brand to be updated revealed by Android Authority shows how these two terminals of the Chinese firm they will be left out of this update to Nougat. In general lines and with the Huawei P9 as the current flagship of the brand, it makes us suspect that in the next version it will also be left out of the next update and this is very negative for the brand.
It is true that it is not known if the current Huawei P9 will be updated or not in the next version of Android, but users usually have memory for these details and the truth is that it is negative publicity for future purchases. On the other hand, it is true that the bulk of sales with this device has not been as expected by the brand, but we would like updates to be added from one year to the next in their devices despite everything, since many users will be officially left out of this new version of Android.
