I would strongly reccomend google pixels and oneplus. In my expirience they have been the best i could ask for, had a Oneplus 6 and now a pixel 6 and i am very happy, they might have a "premium" price tag but i consider them an investment since i use them every day ( even for work, i do development ) and typically last a while ( my OP6 lasted 5 years and i needed to switch to the Pixel 6 for the new android versions due to programming ).
Holy fuck, they could not get it more wrong. Sadly i watched the video ( which i presume was on TV ). " they are protesting because they dont like change ", what the fuck man, litterally 5 seconds of research and you can find why does it happen. That how you divide commiunities, because someone who is pretty lazy to do the reasearch will conclude that mods are the bad guys and litteraly protest againist the protest... Once again journalism at its finest...
Oh... Sadly this one is not a Tier 1 manufacturer and doesnt just publish the latest version. I saw online that it was version 12 out of the box so if you truly have the 11 one, you might have been scammed. I would recommend not going with honor in the future ( thats my personal opinion, you might like the device ). Look if there are custom ROMs for it that might have a newer version
Which phone are we talking about, also have you done the updates? maybe its not from this year after all
