How to flash Huawei Y6 Prime (2018). Updating to Android 11, 10, Pie 9, Oreo 8.1

Is it worth updating the firmware on Android?

The main point of updates is to eradicate bugs, problems and shortcomings, of which there are plenty in the Android operating system:

• For example, system applications freeze or crash.
• Blurred corners of pictures with a good camera.
• The smartphone does not turn on at all.
• The phone turns off and reboots whenever it wants.
• Heavy power consumption when wi-fi is turned on, for example, the battery runs out in an hour.
• There can be a lot of glitches; there are times when the phone itself starts calling the first number in the phone book. Hardly anyone is happy with this behavior.

There are also ordinary enthusiasts who love everything new and want to test the latest Android.
