Then launch with EMUI in China only and android one internationally.

I doubt Google can handle such a large number of android one devices with different hardware. Anyways they can launch stock but not everyone wants it & additional OS features are good for marketing.

Additional OS features doesn't means OEM has to make a crap, mutilated iOS wannabe UI.

If it sells & makes money, why not. People are stupid & want iPhone like features for cheap, like the notch.

Thankfully, at least most people know that no 3.5mm jack is bad.

Chinese people do love that Apple-like UI, so I don't think they would let go of EMUI that easily.

Apple GUI is much more accurate and good looking not comparable to EMUI

 

[PrashantK007]

Apple UI should be limit to only apple phones, not other manufacturer phones.

Obviously original would be better than its rip off, but EMUI being an android OS, you can change its look to however you like, something which is still not possible in Apple.

Apple will surely put that feature in future & all Apple fans will be like "great innovation".

Apple has created trust not just by branding but creating a useful product, they know much better than us, that's why they are the best in innovation and design.

Quite far from it actually.

Not anymore but sadly people don't see it. Apple is one of the greediest corporation, kind of those shown in Hollywood movies. I won't be surprised if they are actually controlling the government & what not like Samsung was (or still is) in S.Korea.

They are seizing imports of independent 3rd party repair shops who buy original Apple parts from China.

I think they lost that case in US courts.

Can Honor 10 have android pie right now? Oneplus 6 got it.

OP6 didn't get stable Pie yet, its Developer Preview.

EMUI is a heavy modification over stock android, even getting the upgrade by the end of this year would be good enough.

That's why Honor needs to switch to stock android like UIs just like Oxygen OS. EMUI is a major bottleneck.

Stock android like OS is good for fast updates but still doesn't guarantee it. See Motorola.

Only time will tell how Asus performs. But it still doesn't hide the fact that stock android lacks a lot of features. Dual apps is kind of expected by everyone now in India & parallel space is not as good as OS implemented options.

I do agree that something like Oxygen OS is a good option. I don't know why many manufacturers don't do that instead of shitty UI like Funtouch, etc. Small manufacturers can benefit a lot by using stock android.

This ! Absolutely This

Still a long way before android natively supports it, at least a year for sure until next android.

I doubt it will be implemented anytime soon as it is a feature that's much asked for in India & China, not US & EU (because of high cost of connections).

Does stock android have the option to add another user?

It is similar to Secure Folder of Samsung.
