Huawei has said that it would make sure that all of the smartphones under its Honor brand receive at least two years of updates. This statement was made in response calls for more updates and support from major smartphone manufacturers.

While Chinese smartphone brands are lauded for their unique blend of affordable price and impressive set of specs, some are questioning the commitment of these companies to their users. While smaller smartphone manufacturers like Ulefone and UMi are releasing updates on a regular basis, the same cannot be said for large companies like Huawei and ZTE, according to Giz China.

The lack of updates has led consumers to worry, especially since hacking and identity theft are proliferating. Huawei is addressing these concerns by making a promise that its latest flagship, the Honor 8, will receive at least two years worth of updates. Huawei's latest move will also make the Honor 8 a better long-term investment for smartphone consumers.

Huawei said that the Honor brand would continue to release important updates and bug fixes even after the two year period has lapsed.

Huawei did not provide a roadmap of how it would put out the updates. The company did not explain whether it plans to release an update every month or every time a major bug is fixed. Nonetheless, the two-year commitment for updates is a big step towards assuring customers.
