Will Huawei release Android 7 Nougat for the M2? - Huawei MediaPad M2

Would any of you be able to make a qualified prediction? Or link me to relevant information on this. I plan to buy one but don't want to go for the M3 if M2 also will get the upgrade. Cheers and thanks.

Are you talking about the 8 or the 10 inch version?

I'm aiming for the 10 inch, but if 8 is more likely to get the upgrade i will go for 8.
Also please clarify if the upcoming version 6 is based on android 7 (nougat).
Thanks a million.

I own the 10 inch version, and it is almost sure that it won't even get an update to Marshmallow. So no Nougat update to expect.
The 8 inch model already got a marshmallow update the last year, so it is more likely to get another update (but still quite unlikely!).
Keep in mind that Huawei doesn't update its devices very long. If I want my tablet to be up to date, I would buy a Google tablet, or go for the M3.

considering buying - but software update?

I am considering of buying this phone, but I am concerned about software update since I dont want to get stuck with Marshmallow forever. and I dont want to deal with custom roms. (dont have the time or patience for that)
So, will this phone receive Nougat?
Don't buy mi5s. Xiaomi doesn't support this model like mi5 or mi max. Still no regular updates released.
Thank you. It seems odd that older model is supported and newer model is not. In that case I will not buy the device. I was planning to hold on to it for about 2-3 years and there is no way I am going to get stuck with Android 6 for that long.
What about the Redmi note 4X? Any chance for this phone to get Nougat?
Have you thought about the mi6?

I did, but I wont buy it for 2 reason
1. Its way more expensive than the mi5s.
2. It doesnt have a global rom yet and I assume it will take some time until it does
For the price of the mi6, I would rather get the OP3t which is cheaper and already updated to latest android

The news article only says that a new M5 Lite tablet with Android Pie is released to the market.
It does not tell that Android Pie is or will be released for the M5 Lite 10" tablet.

All true. One can only hope for an update from huawei, since both versions of M5 lite tablets originally came with Android Oreo. And since now is launching the 8 inch version one with Androis Pie, we could expect the update for the 10 inch one hopefully before the new year

Probably not tbh
The new Nova 9 global version came with EMUI 12 based on Android 11.
There is no excuse now for Huawei not to release an EMUI 12 / Android 11 upgrade for our global versions of these phones (P30 / Nova 5T / etc).
Let's hope they will.
Next major global Huawei software update, but when?
At HDC 2021, Huawei announced new software technologies including the HarmonyOS 3.0 developer preview, Huawei Mobile Services Core (HMS Core) 6, and a number of new announcements in terms of cloud. There were also new data that has been revealed about ecosystem development that has been raised...
www.huaweicentral.com
But what about the global consumers, when they’ll receive the same treatment or should I say, the next major Huawei software update?
Currently, Huawei has released both – EMUI 12 and HarmonyOS 2 in front of global Huawei consumers at the launch conference. However, only EMUI 12 is being released with new smartphones among the global models.
Meanwhile, the global consumers want to know their own faith and they’re pretty much at the peak of their excitement as well as disappointment at the moment. Their comparison is quite right with the Chinese consumers, where they are being treated with a full banquet of features brought by HarmonyOS 2 software update.
As a global Huawei smartphone owner, I too feel that the software must be upgraded and people cannot run the same software over and over, while other smartphone makers are sending the newest addition to the system.

It was just announced that a number of non Harmony -OS phones are getting a EMUI 12 update, but sources on this are sceptical if whether the base OS will get an actual update, most agree that it will mostly be a launcher and skinning update.

What amazes me - and to be honest, it is frustrating - is that Huawei has not made clear yet which version of Android OS will be underneath EMUI 12.
Here are some facts, and some thoughts.
- Nova 9 was released a few days ago with Android 11 - based EMUI 12
- GSMarena says:
Huawei isn't saying on what version of Android is EMUI 12 is based but judging by the recently launched nova 9, it's probably safe to assume that it's Android 11.
Click to expand...

- But, let's consider this: Older models such as P20 were supposed to get only 2 major Android updates. P20 was released with Android 8.1, it was updated to Android 9 and then to Android 10. Isn't it strange that they are included in the list of the phones that will get EMUI 12 if EMUI 12 is based on Android 11 ?
- huaweiblog.de reports (translation from German):
We are assuming that only licenses up to Android 10 have been purchased. Furthermore, it could of course also be that the older devices are not updated to Android 11, but an EMUI 12 version based on Android 10 is installed. Unfortunately, HUAWEI cannot leave out this when asked.

You should know that the new EMUI version is unlikely to make any major changes to the underlying Android system. EMUI 12 is supposed to be based on Android 11 - and not, as initially assumed, Android 10. Google services and services are still not on board.

Huawei should give Android 11 to the phones that were supposed to get it when they were released (such as P30 series).
I do find it next to impossible that they will upgrade all the phones of that list to Android 11. So maybe this is the most probable scenario:
EMUI 12 has been developed to run on Android 11, although perhaps we can find an exception in the lower power terminals. Perhaps some of the latter hold the heart of Android 10, as the brand has not specifically indicated which version of Android will be the one that will run in its ad.

Which would be great for us, the P30 owners. I have little faith that Huawei will do that, though. They seem to have lost their way and their software upgrading plan seems like a mess these days.
I also read that the EMUI 12 update will most likely be based on A10. I dont have a problem with Huawei doing this as long as they dont break the existing features. One of the things I am enjoying is the gesture navigation. In my oppinion their implimention is superior to other brands like Xiaomi and Samsung.

It seems that we have an official confirmation that EMUI 12 on Nova 9 is based on Android 11 (AOSP) and NOT on Harmony OS ! So the UI is inspired by Harmony OS, but the actual OS is Android 11.

One ui 5 for all note 10

Hi guys.
The Note 10 series is already in quarterly updates except for the lite model.
The reason for this thread is to make a joint request to Samsung to consider that the update to android 13 is not limited only to lite models.
A petition was created for it and all those interested in participating with their signature are welcome.
Thank you very much to all.

LOL, try smacking your head against the wall instead. This has been a constant thing since the dawn of Android.
Samsung WON'T upgrade the Note 10/Plus to Android 13 simply because it will bite into their sales....
They want you to get a shiny new toy, not play with that cruddy old thing you have now, and not supporting newer Android updates with all the nifty new features on your older phone is a way to make you upgrade...

Logically they want you to buy a new model. But why the lite with inferior hardware yes and not the superior ones of the same series?

It was released later.
Yes, it came out later but as one more of the note 10 series. That is the reason for the request. I understand Samsung's update policy but we are not talking about a single model, we are talking about the top-of-the-range family in its day. The stupid trend of releasing 20 models under the same name. Then these things happen and people get angry and rightly so.

Lol, why care? Android 13 might be worse than 12 especially for the Note even if Samsung did do it
I'm still running on Pie on this N975U. Current load is over 2yo, still fast and very stable with minimal maintenance. Security is not an issue... what's not to like?
Upgrades and updates can and do break Samsung's. No plans to touch my firmware as long as it's fulfilling its mission.

I respect your opinion and the decision not to update. It is true that Samsung is not always right with its updates and personally I think that one ui 4.1 and android 12 ruins the phone, it does not run smoothly, it has excessive battery consumption among other failures. But, did you try one ui 5? I'm running the beta on my s21 ultra and I think it's one of the best updates I've tried in years. Without being a final version, the improvement is very remarkable. This is another reason to ask Samsung to update all Note 10 series models. Forget one ui 4.1 and its bad optimization.

Edit.
I want to emphasize that the only thing that is required is a signature. As written in the petition, it is completely free and donations are not accepted.

Thank you. I've seen Samsung upgrades/updates break phones too many times. Any improvement that could be had by upgrading be marginal at best with my N10+'s and more likely would be detrimental.
I have two N10+'s, one running on 9, the other 10.
That's what they came loaded with. I think the Pie variant is the best of the two. Never used Android 11 or 12 because I have severe doubts about scoped storage. Don't want it.
Be interesting to see a side by side performance test between 9, 10, 11 and 12.
At this point both Samsung and Google Android are completely off the rails. No desirable new flagships from Samsung and Google is still chasing down endless rabbit holes making their OS less functional and the user a slave to cloud apps/storage. Sorry, but I see no point in even trying to reason with either company.
No Sale, they both can just f-f-fade away...
Is potentially possible to get a Custome ROM for SM-N975F like copy 1:1 from Note 20 Ultra Android 13 OUI5.0 .
Maybe creating new upgrade ROM for that phones .
there is a phone called samsung m62.it has the same chip like note 10 plus which is exynos 9825.i think android 13 port can be developed for note 10 plus.they did that with note 9 as it has the same chip as note 10 lite
Is possible to port stock original ROM A13OUI5.0 from Note 20 Ultra, which is almost the same phone without chip and some other parts but have now upgrading and is the same series Note`s .
M62 is Very old and not upgrading to A13.

Hi.
Did you read the petition and the messages? The note 10 lite is the only one that will receive one ui 5. The rest, 10, 10+, 10+ 5g will not be updated. The signatures are few and they increase very slowly and I don't know the date of the update for the lite models although I am sure that when people start to see the great improvement that android 13 and one ui 5 supposes the signatures will increase rapidly.

Question Update plan?

How many Major OS update will receive this Phone? Is there a clear plan for Update ZTE phones?
Asked them this Question and got this:
Dear Valued RedMagic Customer,
Thank you for your patience,
Sorry, we have no definite information on this, please pay attention to the update on the official website.
Generally, lately, they tend to release security updates/fixes for a bit and 1 platform update (red magic 6 pro got update from 11 to 12) idk if 6 pro will get update to 13 or if 7 pro will get it but generally if i had to make predictions i predict 7 pro will get updated to 13 6 pro might get lucky and get 13 but might not and as far as 8 pro at the very least i imagine it will get 14 and we shall see afterwards
Red generally usually was about explosive specs/latest android and good price at the moment of release and not much after
Only thing that's a shame is lack of rom development on these phones but I'm guessing red just didn't release necessary stuff for that to happen
