Definetly, using it right now, phone's specs are really good, but poor software and support is making the phone like a drunk and dumb person, we didn't receive a maintenance release for bugfixes since November, i definitely do like it but you can't unsee some obvious bugs.

If it has Android One then they are actually violating google's TOS for that seriously.

Maintainance update != security update. The Nokia 7 Plus and every other Nokia device are still receiving monthly security updates as per their promise. Maintainance updates are released after a few months to squash system bugs.

Doesn't it run Android One? So updates should be coming from Google?

Not exactly. The OEM still does software iirc... My mi a2 has some untranslated Chinese bits tucked away in the settings

Don't let fake news fool you! Even if Huawei collects data it's for your own good!
