What's that special about Nova that makes so many people use it? Have you tried Xiaomi's Poco Launcher? It's a shame that Huawei does not launch at least a few Android One handsets...

Mate 20 pro owner here, for less than one month
Switched to Nova Launcher prime as EMUI´s default launcher is more limited and impractical than Samsung´s (switched from an S9+), and becomes choppy every now and then.

If EMUI doesn´t get better features and performance, and they decide to ban access to 3rd party launchers globally, I´ll feel compelled to switch back to another brand as soon as possible.

They could also make Face recognition work better, more like in Apple´s XS Max. I don´t know why sites keep saying Huawei´s implementation is flawless. Very good, it is, but not excellent and certainly not flawless

Huawei might be on its way to becoming the world's second-largest smartphone maker, but the latest move made by the Chinese brand might be a costly one in the long run. The EMUI 9.0 update will come without access to third-party launchers, although this limitation will only be applied in China in the beginning.
