Anyone know if Huawei are any good with updates, will we get Android 8.1 or is that just wishful thinking?
They used to be very bad but now with project treble it's actually quite fast with the security patch and stuff, I have the January security patch on my Mediapad M3, Mate 9 and 10 as well as android 8 on both of my mates

You all should rebrand. I bought this mate 10 original (C636) said international..
I got two updates in less than a month of purchasing the phone. Huawei is faster than HTC 10 unlocked and way faster than Sony and Samsung ever was for me.
Ps. there's a thread for updates already, you know where..

No one really should have to do that, Huawei stated back end of last year that they will be pushing updates faster which is really not true. I am still on November security patch in the UK also. I bought Mate 9 and Mate 10 Pro only because I don't want to worry about battery When I leave home and it does give me insane battery life. However with the rise of security breaches, malware, adware and more having a secure phone is now becoming a priority than having long battery and as such I will be only using Google phones going forward.

We will. Though I believe it will come a while after mate 20 launch since they will want to promote new features. They would hurt themselves by showing customers "hey, we just released a big update for our old , now cheaper phone which brings newest os and tons of new features".

I believe L29 models will get updates fast. I'm in the U.S. and have both L09 (mine) and L29 (mom's) models and the L29 has been receiving updates periodically while the L09 just received 8.0.0.123. The L29 now has Face ID unlock and the L09, according to the Huawei rep, has no plan for that feature for the U.S. version in the meantime. Lesson learned. Buy the international version.

Just wanted to start a thread for UK owners of Mate 10 pro (normal mate 10 not available here), to see if the firmware updates are coming to certain carriers first.
Myself Im on O2 network and am still on original 115 firmware. What network and firmware is everyone else on?
Thread here mate, https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/bla-l09-8-0-0-124-c782-uk-t3728420
On version 124. Bought unlocked from cpw. Update arrived just over 2 weeks ago. Network is three.
O2 doesn't sell the Mate 10 so any updates will come directly from Huawei

I bought mine from CPW unlocked using it will Vodafone still no update but I have a three sim I will try and see if it works later. My Mate 9 is on December security patch and I am sure it will get January security patch soon too. But disappointing the mate 10 Pro isn't getting updates sooner. Huawei should be pushing the updates quicker or letting users who check manually trigger the update process every month as only the Techies will be doing that.

Mate 10 pro was bought outright from CPW... no monthly contract....so should have been sim-free....
Just took my (three) sim out of my s8+ and plonked it into the mate 10 pro.

Completely agree, makes me wonder if it would be better to sell and get a Pixel 2 XL. At least the updates would be regular. Huawei need to up their game in this respect.
It annoys me that I'm running the October security patch and we are now into January with no sign of an update.

I too did look at the Pixel XL 2 (own the original pixel XL 128GB) but I can't get away from the single overwhelming fault of the pixel XL 2..... it is so utterly ugly.
I've played with it in the CPW shops (and all the screens have burn-in) and it looks awful.... I know, looks aren't everything, but google are asking flagship money for this !!!
The main positives I can see for the XL 2 is the camera gets great reviews, and the good software experience....but I am seriously impressed with the camera on the mate 10 pro [if only it would default to HDR being on !!!!] and that is comparing it to the likes of the S8+ and the pixel XL... and the software is pretty darn slick too...
Google seems to make great but flawed phones..

Agree with most of that. Due to work my phones go straight into a case, so looks are not so important to me.
Camera on both devices are very good, but pixel edges it I think due to night time shots.
Battery on Mate 10 pro will be better I think, which is the main reason I have stuck with the phone.
Just a few annoying glitches like the scrolling Widgets not working, if they could fix these problems and provide regular updates, it would be a great phone.

Yes this is beyond frustrating because my mate 9 is already on December security patch while my mate 10 Pro is on October and it's the New flagship. I am seriously considering getting the Pixel 2 XL as it's only £69 more now at CPW, but considering the hardware isn't really up to scratch that's what is putting me off. And I love the mate 10 Pro size fits in one hand

It's crazy, my Wife's Note 8 got the May patch already. My S6 has April and my S9+ has February, WTH?
Maybe they're cooking up a big update or something and it's taking time.
The absolute worst part of owning a Samsung phone is the horrible firmware update process. They just plain don't give a crap after they have sold you the $1000 device!!
Even China ZTE is better!!!
I have the may 1st security patch. I purchased the unlocked model through Samsung and then flashed the T-Mobile firmware. I've been getting updates from T-mobile's server. I would check Samsung firmware science and flash the latest update available.

Yep same here. Asking Huawei UK on Twitter when further updates are being released. They initially said 148 was released yesterday for C432 so waiting for confirmation back.

No update at the moment!

Yup, I have the same thoughts. I bought mine 2 weeks ago, and it's still on version 65. I relisted it on swappa after having it for 3 weeks and getting nowhere in trying to get it updated. Such an awesome piece of hardware, but such crappy software support.

Hi,
Got my mate 20 pro with October security update installed in mid December. However, haven't yet received any further update
Is there any way to update to the latest update without using FH method? OR just wait for the update to be available?
Currently residing in South Africa, have tried connecting to different countries via VPN and then tried searching for an update but have been unlucky!
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks

Try asking Huawei. They responded to my question via email in 2 business days.
Indian version is still on October security patch
You are lucky us optus customers are still on 9.0.0.122 and nothing in sight because it takes optus 6 months to test it....slow company.

I got M20 Pro from Singapore, When I landed in India for my holidays I got the latest .171 update.
You aren't missing much,
post-update-craze-phase will last for a week. I am on 171 and, may be ,there are couple of improvements in few departments but you will hardly notice the difference.
but don't make the mistake of letting FunkyHuawei monetize out of your lack of patience. Version 171 has enabled option to unlock OEM. Also I would not risk rooting a Chinese phone.
Thanks guys, I'm currently happy with the device, just want an update that fixes selfie processing, rest all good
So glad to know that I'm not missing much in terms of an update..
Thanks again.

I'm just waiting for an update to see if it fixed the messaging notification and Google maps, also I'm having an issue with a few apps occasionally not loading like opinion rewards, apkmirror, auspost, music I have to clear cache, optimise battery, use phone manager to optimise memory and sometimes even reboot to get the apps to load correctly.

We need to complain together with huawei.
The worst part is my brothers Honor View 10 of a year and half back device got November security update when 3 to 4 times higher price flagship is with October security update.
Flagship value in India for huawei is NIL it seems

You are right, my mistake
Samsung is a lot better with updates. The only reason you wouldn't get an update on time is if there's a bad bug that requires fixing and the update got pulled. Also South Korea obviously gets updates first followed by Europe. USA gets updates anywhere from 3-5 days to 1-2 weeks after Europe does. From my experience on previous Galaxy's it was always about 1 week after updates went out in Europe for my USA Galaxy to get updated.

I wish I could agree, but where I am, the security updates have been sporadic at best, last one in S21ULTRA was the January sec patch delivered February 21. More often than not in 2022 two security updates were delivered at the same time, almost 3 months later than the Pixel.
Oh I was confused glad I'm not the only one.

where are you from? I guess it also depends on your country since there may be special circumstances, specific carriers or government approval, ect. that is delaying your update since once Samsung sends out updates in S. Korea their should be no reason why you are not getting the update unless your country or your specific carrier is holding it back. It used to be really bad here in the USA but the last 3 years I have seen a huge improvement in the update schedule for Samsung devices.
