Sure you can... But you can also ask a brick wall

Don't let them know about that brick wall!

Lol...
Since the 8 was a popular phone it made no sense to keep it in a drawer wasting away.
My Mate 9 might be going bye-bye soon also.

100 clams? I'm not Santa I figure with a holster, 2 cases, a screen protector (all used) I can get at least 200 to 250 for a fair price. I might throw in the Huawei fitness band if I don't fancy it when it arrives.

Why are you ditching the Mate 9?

Why are you ditching the Mate 9?

Mainly for the update situation.
I will hang on if Huawei coughs up a security update. I'm not really anxious for Oreo. Security updates are important to me however.

I should use my Honor 8 more too

Ah okay. Mines opposite. OS update > Security updates

I feel like I too would rather have security updates than overall software updates.

Even if your phone is outdated due to lack of os updates?

New features are fun and sometimes useful, but most things can be fixed without OS updates. Apps can update over the Play Store and Google can add features with Play Services. One such example is "fast pair" for bluetooth. It came with the new Pixels' and was later pushed to version 5 I think.

Google can do some of it for security, but you really need those monthly patches to stay safe.

Can be fixed but won't be getting some newer features the new OS update will get it. Monthly updates are important as well. I'll just pick OS update over security updates

Yup. To be honest, having the latest and newest OS updates doesn't really appeal to me. As long as my phone works, I'm good!

That's fair.

 

[dpham00]

I should get a phone like that. I want a really long battery life too

You definitely should. The battery life is insane and the performance isn't far from flagships

 

[dpham00]

Brought him a lot of joy indeed

And that's the important thing. That he got joy out of his honor 8
