Any word yet on when the Mate 9 will get Android 8

[dpham00]

Oh thats pretty good

Unfortunately it isn't consistent for everyone. Many are still on April patch

It was supposed to be rolled out starting 4 weeks after the release of the Mate 10. So, mid December? Glad to see some people in some parts of the world getting already.

I'd rather wait a little while to make sure it's a good and stable release before I install it.

And the Mate 10 hasn't even been released in the USA yet. Seems to me like Huawei is making a conscious effort to become a mobile power. Honor V10 coming to the USA, along with the 7X and Mate 10 pro.

Can't wait to see PC. mode.

The MHA-L29 beta had the Oct patch, which covered the Blueborne Bluetooth bug. That's enough for me if they get me critical updates and quarterly updates.

Had monthly with my Blackberry Priv. I was lucky, but as long as they handle critical updates going forward, it's okay.

They've promised a Blackberry/Google /Moto schedule going forward. And the Mate 9 is a confirmed Treble build of EMUI 8.0.

I am impressed that they are bringing more phones here. Glad that they didn't abandon us

That's good to hear that they did the October patch. That's pretty important imo

US handsets are at the end of the line. Mine is still at April :-(
Love this phone but the lack of updates is disappointing.
