stable (or not). EMUI 15 could be the final major update for flagship Snapdragon devices released in 2021 and earlier. Huawei tends to provide major updates for a few years after a device’s release, and by 2025, these devices will be around four years old, leaving with patches

2026-2027, 5th-6th year. And not every EMUI 14.2 model will get EMUI 15, mid-high end capable chip models only from Kirin (8/9+) and high end Snapdragon (888/8+ Gen1) only. On the other hand, new mid, to high-end Kirin-powered devices are expected to continue receiving updates

beyond EMUI 15, including HarmonyOS Next. This new platform marks a significant shift as it moves away from Android, focusing on native features and enhanced security.

Case closed; don't ask me about anything else.

Don't trust budgets until HarmonyOS Next era. Anything like HarmonyOS 4.x/EMUI 14.x/15 and earlier, don't trust it.
