    What is Huawei like at updating their devices? Are they likely to be better than other Chinese brands or just as bad?

      The Huawei Honor 2 which launched over a year ago still receives updates. It launched with ICS, then got 4.1 and later 4.2. It has receved new features and optimizations as well.

      But the Western/Korean style of updating the Android version just because there is a new version probably isn’t so interesting for Chinese companies (Samsung is hyped for its updates, even if the new version totally breaks the phone and makes it unusable).

      MediaTek has promised to release KitKat drivers for MT6592 soon.

      The Huawei Ascend P6 also gets a lot of updates, and KitKat is supposedly coming soon.

      Thanks to both the replies. If this is the case and it looks like some of these devices might get kitkat then definitely worth a bit of a premium!

      WCDMA 900/1900/2100MHz
