Security updates for how long - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi, thinking about swapping my mi mix 2 for the mate 20 Pro.
I only have one question though, I know android Q is on the way but for how long is the mate 20 Pro likely to keep receiving security and android version updates?
Disappointed with the updates for the mi mix 2 for a flagship phone and I don't want to make the same mistake again.
Thanks.

Right now we have the July security patch and soon the August

You'll have android q anyway... What does matter to you if you get security monthly updates or not ?

My wife's mate 9 and my mate 10 both are still receiving OTA security updates. Both these devices are now on EMUI 9.1 so no need to panic for the mate 20.

Thanks for the replies, looks like I'm gonna order before the offer on the phone runs out.
Thanks again.

If I had to guess, I'd would say at least two more years.

We'll see Android P (9) long before Samsung so
Don't count on it at least on US version. Huawei isn't really supporting this model, hence the rare updates. Maybe the 20 will get more attention.

A real damn shame Huawei are not supporting the Mate 10 better.
It seems the P20 has gotten most of the attention and they are focusing more on that. I take
it the P20 sold more than the Mate 10 series line.
IMO Huawei never really supported the Mate 10 series great.

Mate 10 is getting more support than Mate 9. Same region.
Used to get security updates every 3 to 4 months, now every month.
Got no new features on Mate 9 until Oreo arrived in January 2018, Mate 10 has received face unlock and updated night shot (with 8.1, 960 fps slow mo, new camera UI, GPU Turbo etc promised).
Support is DEFINITELY better this time round.

I agree, nothin to complain about in general. The region delays are a problem though because it seems like it could be avoided easily.

Okay my friend and thanks.
Honestly, I don't think my NXT-L29 will get it. I like Huawei better than Samsung but I bought a Note 9 even though I wanted Mate 10 Pro purely because Huawei is so ****ty with North American updates.

I went from the mate 8 to the mate 10 pro and the update schedule has been okay for the most part. But I have the global variant bla l29. I have been very impressed with the face unlock update and I've recieved the gpu turbo update but since I don't play games much on my phone I haven't taken advantage of it. The night shot update with AI stabilisation is very impressive too.
Huawei have gotten better with software updates for the most part especially when it comes to bringing new features but the update schedule is unpredictable. Atm I have recieved the September patch while my mate 8 hasn't updated in quite a few months and always took ages for updates.
Hi still not available for rom oreo not come

Huawei decline

It looks like Huawei will be hard hit by US Sanctions.
I guess my carrier won't hold the Mate 30 Pro so this will be my last Huawei device. I will either get a Sony device or the Pixel 4 XL. Time will show but Huawei is unfortunately out of the question. Most carriers won't risk holding Huawei devices

That doesn't mean the trade war is over, last month the US government granted Huawei a special license to work with Google to provide updates to existing phones. Kirin 980 devices like the Mate 20 and P30 series will still receive Android Q because of this special license. Any future Huawei phones are still banned from using Google services though.

Miui 12 Stable update.

Hi guys,
I'm just a normal user and i was asking how come that Mi note 10 lite is not even mentioned on the release schedule! Can someone help me and answer that?

I think this is due to the wildly differing names for the Mi Note 10 line across the globe.
In Europe for example there is only the Mi Note 10 Lite as well as the Mi Note 10.
In other places they are named (accordingly) Mi Note 10 and Mi Note 10 Pro (I think for the Chinese market the Pro version only comes in the 256GB variant).
From what I can gather this is the reason for the confusion. The update should be coming next month.
Because the schedule you saw is from Xiaomi Indonesia. And Mi Note 10 Lite was never launched in Indonesia
Miui12 for mi note 10 lite
Everyday a lot of Mi devices are updated to Miui 12 but not a mention of Mi note 10 lite which released recently.
Previous devices and even last year devices get it faster than a month old device.
I don't understand, how the release of software is done and on what basis.
I want to ask Xiaomi, if we did a mistake by buying mi note 10 lite or you guys get high while releasing the updates?

I dont understand people crying over updates, whats the big difference if you get it 1month later.. its not like the update is gonna make your device 2x better, its still the same phone, with same capabilities..Maybe some bug fixes, or maybe even introduction of new bugs.. If you want fastest updates, you buy flagships. You didnt buy flagship, you bought a lite version of midrange phone that isnt even available worldwide. Just wait and stop crying

Upgrade to Android 10 or not?

I wan't to give my wife my old Mate 10 Pro because her Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T (or whatever) is a piece of crap. Huawei after 3 years have still better cam, speed and battery life.
I kept it on Emui 9 to keep root. Now I am thinking about upgrade to EMUI 10 and my question is is it worth it? Is camera app at least as good as in 9? Can you let me know your thoughts on EMUI 10? Thank you in advance.

try by yourself better Because some of users complained about the update because root not working,, you can't unlocked bootloader again,,, others complain about battery etc.. and others accepted... you can upgrade to EMUI 10 and use it for some times if you like it keep it,, if not you can downgrade to 9 again by hisuite,, for me i have mate 10 and I am ok with it smooth,, fast,, battery little better,, more options in settings,,
at last it depends on phone condition..
Stuck on Mate 9.1 on my BLA L29 C636. Tried HiSuite, HiCare region change but still cannot update to EMUI 10!
Did you have a method of upgrading?
[edit: used tunnelbear VPN along with hicare to set to Singapore and it updated]
