Phones sold in China are vastly different to their global counterparts. As these phones don't have the Play Store, each brand offers its own individual app store, and they handle updates differently as well.
I used Chinese variants of Vivo, OPPO, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Honor phones in the last 12 months, and what stood out was that there isn't as much variance to the global model — at least in terms of the software — as there used to be.
