I’m probably picky, but I’m sending you back #P20Pro
Compared to a Nexus the whole EMUI (bloatware) “experience” is a turn-off, really.
To be fair: Battery life is above average. Camera is nice.

Vel,når vi snakker om UX,dere har vel ikkje gløymt Win 98 v. Slackware 7.1 ?🤤🤣😁
Er jo til og med laget ein legendarisk sang om krigen også :

Maybe they don’t trust their own app store thingy that they really want you to use. 😁
I worded myself poorly regarding the virus software, but yeah, EMUI use Avast, it’s a part of the bloatware, Samsung use McAfee as you wrote.
Or was it EMUI that has Avast?
Note that Google, who have a pretty secure implementation of Android, doesn’t see the need for third-party vendors getting involved. Perhaps Samsung and Huawei know they need them because their fiddling compromised security? Just speculating.
Samsung Experience 9 has an internal security solution powered by McAfee.
I think I’d rather rely on simply not using shady app stored or trying to get “free” versions of apps I know are payware.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/JGZ8erax4dDoRbkY1MIKsbes9fcuAA-BjnM6V1FcIDKu11veVnCpJrZDu3IlW_N4B_3sMiPbUhU
Willy André Bergstrøm I’m pretty sure it’s touchwiz that made me this picky about UX on phones,
I hate that s”#tand no, you’re right EMUI is not quite there -yet… …and they use avast, not McAfee 🤣Lars Fosdal I’m thinking (and doing) the exact same thing. I’m not holding my breath on the pixel tho. official access that is, there’s always a way. I’m also keeping an eye on Nokia, they might be on to something.
I am patiently holding out and hoping that we actually will get access to Pixel 3 this year. If not, I am taking a look at the new Sony and the Nokias.
As bad as EMUI is, I refuse to believe it’s as horrible as Samsung Experience (formerly TouchWiz).
Took me hours of tweaking to get my S9+ to a workable state. There’s still thing with settings and the pulldown menu that annoys me, and why the hell they let McAfee preload a security solution is beyond me, but with the help of things like replacing all possible Samsung apps with Google ones, using ActionLauncher and having bxActions replace Bixby with Google Now, at least the daily use of the device is tolerable.
Hentet den opp av “skuffen” ? 😂😉
( Ref. EMUI (ja veit du kan få app. skuffe på dei no..😥 ) )
Hans Olav Myklebust neida, nexusen er fortsatt (nesten) god som ny den.
Måtte du bite i det sure eple?😉😜😂
Jim Lian : I’m sure I’ll figure it out =) Even my P6 has issues with notifications… eyeroll How hard can it beeeeeee?!
Lexidh Solstad I’m pretty sure you’ll be just fine, I’m just super aware of those things, and if I’m annoyed by it I don’t want it, they should do better.
That said, if my nexus was dying and I had to buy a new one I’d probably spend some more time with it and force it to do things the way I want it to. I wan’t a Google play edition… 🙂
Anyway; first of all I’d turn off all AI (AI is still dumb), disable some of the (waaay too aggressive) power saving that makes notifications fail. Remove/Disable all bloatware from Huawei (if possible). Then there’s settings to set, options to try (mostly turn off) -it’s a lot of them in EMUI.
Also; there’s some apps that bugs out over the notch thing or the 18,7:9 aspect ratio, but my guess is that it’ ll be fixed sooner than later.
Jim Lian : I’m not too bothered with how things I don’t see too often look and feel (I’m guessing you see it most when you fiddle with settings and stuff like that), just as long as the few apps I use work I’m OK. It is really the camera I’m after!
No opportunity to play with one, unless Elkjøp has them on display?
Martin Fowler Xiaomi, has a couple of interesting ones for sure.
Lars Fosdal indeed. I gave it a chance tho 🙂
Lexidh Solstad I have a 6p myself, still alive, but the occasional random reboot tells me there could be something coming… The camera in the P20Pro is nice, no doubt about it, it’s crazy fast, but the EMUI thing is just too much being spoiled by the clean vanilla Android on the Nexus.
It’s like when Samsung turned bloated with their TouchWiz/Samsung experience (Galaxy S4/S5 -ish)
Anyway, I admit being picky, I kinda recommend Huawei to others, we have 3 of them just in my family, P9 lite, P10 lite, P20, I just can’t stand the thing myself. Advice; if you have the opportunity to play with one before buying, do it.
EMUI really is that bad, for sure.
I’m using a Xiaomi Mi 1A, Stock Android 1, very cheap $200, only downside really no NFC.
Is it really that horrible? I want one of these, mostly for the camera… I’ve got a Nexus 6P now, and it is slowly dying.
I am using a Motorola and is very happy, pretty close to stock Android. Installed Microsoft Launcher which gives some ok features connecting to my jobs O365 stuff👍
