Do you see the Galileo satellites on your Honor 9 phone GPS app ?
All online databases say Honor 9 does not support Galileo reception,
but the XML config file in vendor.img has it enabled
and the hardware (Broadcom BCM4774) is Galileo-capable.
Now i'm confused and want to hear about the experience of the
real phone owners.

i don't think it supports it as currently my honor 9 only shows GPS, GLONASS, and BEIDOU, and huawei might have disabled it just to differentiate between the P10.

Honor 9 has EnableGalileo="true" in /etc/gps4774config.xml
Code:
  <gll_features
        EnableLowPowerPmm="true"
        EnableOnChipMiCtrl="true"
        EnableInternalBlanking="true"
        EnableGalileo="true"
  />
I am using the GPS Test app (on Mate 9 with the same gps4774config.xml) and it looks that (obviously i see less chinese satellites in Europe)
