Huawei UK Update schedule - Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

Got the following from Huawei regarding updates due to timescales on receiving them
In response to your question, please be informed that the security patches are released every 3/6/12 months depending on the update's version and the network potential threats.

So no monthly or bi-monthly updates from Huawei it would seem

Should have stopped with OnePlus.

my choices for next phone are
OnePlus
Pixel with Google Smartwatch
Galaxy with Samsung Smartwatch

is that even true? since i have gotten a security patch in every firmware update. But i live in sweden thought so might be different between UK and Sweden i guess.

how often are u getting updates - the UK models are poor at getting updates, my Mate 10 Pro is still on security for March 2018 and not received any updates since, my P20 Pro was only updated yesterday after being on April 2018 security, so I would guess they are probably correct based on when we are getting updates..

I get new update every 1 month if i'm now thinkin it right, but i think i was on may security patch in june and got june update like 3 days ago. next would be july.

I went from iphones to the p20 pro, so far my android experience is making me want to go back... The lack of updates is just sad...

Huawei update cycle is quarterly at best, I had mate 9 and now mate 10 pro forma which will be my very last Huawei device ever. Had to buy a Pixel 2 XL

Don't be disheartened with android and updates, it's only certain manufacturers that don't update monthly or bi-monthly with Huawei being main culprit of where u never know when u going to get an update.

I have Mate 10 Pro and P20 Pro and won't be buying Huawei again. They say my 10 is on latest update with March Security update and unknown when next update will be.
They tried saying that security updates are regular but don't show in the section where it says security updates.. That is how bad they are.
But I will be back with Pixel (skipped the 2 XL due to all bad press over it) or the OnePlus by end of year

Not had any updates yet.......still on Apr 2018 update with phone on 8.1.0 from EE so definitely not monthly. Hopefully will receive updates at some point!

Just chatted on HiCare they say 782 firmware 130 was released on 9th July and it may take up to a month to deliver to my device..... Pathetic

It was for the CLT-L29 C782 on Three UK and according to Huawei all their devices should have it by today.

On O2 here and still no update

EE UK here - still no update.

All non-Pixel devices are the same. Google should make all manufacturers post security uodates., Especially for newish phones.

I tend to disagree, OnePlus were pretty sharp on updates but agree the security updates should be mandatory. Finding a delivery method to avoid phone company's interference is the key issue.

My phone was delivered today, i have c782 (EE)

Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Since i used the huawei mate 7, i got kinda use to not getting any updates at least in timely manner or at all to be honest, but non the less hope never dies i guess Do you guys think that Huawei will put out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the p8 max, having in mind that we have the 5.1.1 already, or since we are such a small market share for them they wont care to do that ? I was thinking since this is a high premium phone, they might consider it or ? Maybe if some one has some info, maybe some speculations regarding this matter (i know its super early, especially for huawei, but still) ?
cheers.

Marshmallow definitely coming to the P8 Max. I dunno about you but ever since I had this phone, I've gone through 3 updates and I know there's one more coming in Oct that supports tap to wake so yeah I'm pretty satisfied in this area comparing with my previous phones from Sony and Samsung.

Damn you are right! I did not see that coming lol! I was hoping for that but I thought that they will never implement it! Bravo huawei, bravo!
With Android 6 i think we get such a beast in battery life cant wait for it cause i will use mine so much on a day that i need it
I am actually hammering my battery with always wifi/3g on and media/social media/reading/writing/messaging apps etc. always on, and i still get juice to go in the end of the day after music/and vidoe playback to. amazing phone/battery
I also have got the b023 firmware now, on a chineese 703L P8max. I am waiting for the double tap to wake up in b025 upgrade, I am so happy about it! The phone will be perfect after this update!

Where is HONOR VIEW 10

Why is Honor View 10 not available on amazon or honor website? Have they discontinued the phone or what is the issue?
Available in France, no problem. On Amazon and other websites.
We in the US are still waiting. I've heard a possible June release. I'll probably have a different device by then.
Honor View 10 is going to be outdated by the time it's actually released here.
But now in India its not even showing up on amazon or any other webaite!

I was about to pre-order it but then watched a durability video. A quarter rubbed on the bare screen scratched it to Hell. I almost always use screen protectors, but still, that put some huge doubts in my mind.

How frequent are updates?

Hi, I just came from returning an unlocked US version of the lg g8 thinq which completely surprised me that the unlocked versions recieved absolutely 0 updates since april launch but carrier versions were on the latest monthly patch. Ive never had a zte before but the axon10pro checks all of my requirements so I was wondering what the update situation was like on the US version specifically. Would love to hear from you guys on your thoughts about this phone
I had a axon 7 that barely got updates so I'm interested in this as well.
From the 7 I went with the Asus 5z and then the Asus Zenfone 6 and both phones get updates every month or every 2 months.
I'm eyeing the axon 10 for my gf tho so I'm worried about it

I've had the phone since the US launch. It's received one update so far that fixed some bugs, and Android 10 is promised before the end of the calendar year.
The 7 updates came fairly quickly, until the U.S. gov't told ZTE to stop
just got the new update with december patch
Android 10 promised by the end of December.
Now it's 4 days past and no update.
Most the ZTE devices I had rarely got any updates , doubt this device will get Android 10.

And...you'd be WRONG. The 3rd Android 10 Beta just went out to testers a few days ago. Expect it to be pushed to Axon 10 Pro users very soon.

As much as I like the hardware Huawei's support sucks. The NA region is still stuck on 8.
Next time I will be getting a samsung tablet as much as I hate them.
US user, and this will be the last Huawei device I buy. One 'major' release, and virtually no security patches. North American market was sold a bill of goods. At least Sammy supports ALL their consumers.

Agree 100% Huawei can take there tablet and shove it as far as I see it.
Will be getting a pixel c or slate when I can justify it.
Hmm lol....well gonna pass on the "no more Huawei for me" train. I have found over the years most that say this never keep their word. I can show you the posts where M5 will NEVER get EMUI 9. And the post "no more Huawei for me". I've had almost all the name brand tablets over the years and the only one that STILL gets updates is one I could really careless about. Amazon
All I knew from the past, what I read about the M5 pro was, its on 8 and will never be updated. Some were people saying they talked to customer service. Yet when I asked them yesterday they said don't worry yours will get 9.1.1. And if 9 is Just coming out.. then 10 will be awhile. I do love Samsung but.. man as each day passes.. more AD's are being seen in programs than never before. As if my $800 was not enough. Its silly and just me I know but when just downloading a new theme I had to watch 14seconds.. things like that. And rooting on top of that was night mar. Unless you bought it out SIDE the USA (different chip set). I already know slow they are Huawei when it comes to updates.. I have p30 pro phone. And.. so.
At least many other OEMs that stop support for their tablets after the first major update, allow the bootloader to be unlocked. Thus I could use Custom ROMs to keep my tablet alive. With Huawei this isn't possible as well. So there's even one more bummer.

Don't forget Samsung explosive battery. It may come back with tab s7.
If anything, I've found Huawei better than most for updates. We've had a lot of discussion about the situation with Google and the US, at which point I changed to a Xiaomi phone, but still pleasantly surprised to get updates on my M5.
A colleague on the other hand, had hardly had any updates on his old Huawei handset, but still liked it enough to replace it with a P30 lite. So they're still doing something right.
You can thank that cretin trump. The M5 was android enterprise certified, with at least 2 major version updates, and 4+ years of support. That went out the window when Huawei got too god at making 5G hardware that US companies were left in the dust

The same happened to my previous Samsung Note Pro 12.2 tablet
I've just had M5 8 May security patch here in UK plus on build 9.1. For me I'm impressed with the updates.
On the other hand I have a M5 lite 8 and this is on January security patch.
Biggest problem with Android these fractured updates.

I had a major update to EMUI 9. I actually see on firmware finder that EMUI 10 is also out there. I'm not just sure if it has been approved for distribution. I also don't know if I want to test flashing it in case Huawei breaks root (again).

[Sept 8] Android 11 Stable Released Today

Now that Android 11 has been released today (9/8) for the Pixel series, what kind of timeline can we expect to see for OOS11 implementation from OnePlus for the OnePlus 7 Pro? Apparently the 8 series will get android R first but we are right behind them so I have fingers crossed for a swift release
according to the oneplus tables, the 7pro should receive android 11 no earlier than November / December
Inviato dal mio OnePlus 7 Pro utilizzando Tapatalk
OB for OP7 Series will be only after Stable release on OP8 Series. And Stable release will be not Earlier December. But as for me, I prefer OOS 10 over OOS 11.
Can you imagine paying 800€ for a flagship only to be treated like a second class citizen only one year later? Yeah, screw OnePlus never buying anything by these crooks ever again.

Stop!
Get some help!
No-one here can tell you when, judging by previous releases, probably November but they only released BETA 1 for the OnePlus 8 family today, so it might even be next year.

I am going to hazard a guess and say probably the end of the year or beginning of next. I've been rocking stable oos for the last 8 months myself and haven't even test driven 11. It's kinda hard to believe that I'm the same person who used to crack-flash anything remotely interesting and even when i loved a Rom i couldn't stay on it for more than two weeks because I felt like i was missing something. This phone has been so glitch free me on 10 that i didn't realize 11 was here.
What's the deal with Android R, is it any good?

My point exactly. I was being sarcastic.
Just waiting AOSP 11 ROMs... OOS11 sadly are not a nice option. I don't want to transform my OP device in a Samsung looks like device.
Thankfully with unlocked bootloaders, we can install custom ROMs and maintain the stock Android look. OxygenOS 11 looks like a less refined One UI skin and a disappointment for those who bought a OnePlus device for a near stock experience. Still I know a stock rom will help with kernels and overall stability.
