Update Huawei Mate 9 before Oreo

Expected update date: December 2017

Released from Android 7.0, android Update 8.0 for Mate 9 will be the first major update that Huawei decided to use in this device. For obvious reasons, we do not consider 7.1.1 by the main update.

Huawei has a Mate 9 successor, named Mate 10, which will be released on October 16, 2017 with the pre-installed Android 8.0. It also means that this moment Huawei already has ready-to-release OREO, and it is optimized with EMUI 6.0 (Nougat has EMUI 5.0), ready to configure for other devices, such as MATE 9.

It basically means Huawei do not have to work from scratch to come up with an Android 8.0 assembly for Mate 9, which will facilitate the release of OTA in the near future. We will not be surprised to see that Mate 9 Oreo OTA will be affordable by the end of October or mid-November.

The successful start of the beta version of Mate 9 Android 8.0 will be accompanied by the release of the stable version on the OREO, as soon as the errors and problems found by users in the beta version of the update 8.0 will be fixed. Consequently, we can expect Mate 9 to receive an official update by mid-December 2017.

We expect Huawei to start the Oreo deployment in China first. So that all the tests built under the beta channel will appear only in China, and only when the stable assembly will be released at Huawei home, users of Mate 9 in other countries will be able to update the Huawei smartphone to Android 8 Oreo.

Huawei Mate 9 Pro Oreo (also edition Mate 9 Porsche)

By the way, we are talking not only about the standard MATE 9 with a flat screen, it also belongs to Huawei Mate 9 Pro and the Huawei Mate 9 Porsche edition.

Huawei Mate 9 Lite Oreo

With Huawei Mate 9 Lite a bit different situation. Mate 9 Lite users will have to wait until the end of the first quarter of 2018 before the Android 8.0 update will go on their device.

Update: big news! The Android 8.0 update for Mate 9 seems to be leaked to the network. Screenshots of the leaked software Mate 9 Oreo. This is not a downloadable link, but even if so, we are very doubt that you want to install it. Although, with this news, it seems that beta Mate 9 with Oreo is not very far away. Let's hope that Huawei will announce the release of the beta version of Android 8.0 Oreo for several weeks.

Update [October 07, 2017]: Careful analysis of update Mate 9 Oreo, which was merged a few days ago, showed some new features that can be expected with updating 8.0.0. It was found that the Oreo update from Huawei comes with EMUI 6.0, in which there is new option "Screen Resolution" in the "Settings" application, which will allow you to select the resolution of the device - you can reduce it to save the battery charge and, thus, increase battery life. There was a similar option called intelligent resolution, but this new parameter allows you to select permission, and not allow the system to automatically adjust it.

Other changes made from EMUI 6.0 include adding an additional button on the navigation pane, pressing which allows you to hide the panel that will remain hidden, and will give you a complete display for use until you return it, pushing out from under the display. Huawei also brings several more gestures with Oreo, and it has been labeled as a navigation docking station that allows you to get a floating button, scrolling along which we use the navigation panel. Thus, you can get rid of the navigation pane and simply move from the docking station buttons to go to the main screen, having spent your finger on the notifications panel, and then spending your finger left or right to go to the "Overview" screen. Not bad!

Update Huawei P10 before Android 8

Expected release date: December 2017

Last year, Huawei quickly released 7.0 OTA for its P9 sets. In the same spirit, we believe that Huawei will not spend a lot of time before it can provide its users with all Oreo features. Although there is a good opportunity that Huawei will be the first to update Mate 9, it's not necessary to rely on it.

It is very possible that the EMUI 6.0 assembly, working on top of Android 8.0, will be available for Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus along with Mate 9 8.0 OTA or even a few weeks before. In this case, consider the update of Mate 9 Oreo will delay, and P10 will receive an OREO earlier than the middle of December, which we noted for Mate 9.

In general, the situation will be much clearer as only Huawei will begin its beta registration program for its update EMUI 6.0, which will run Oreo under the user skin. We expect Huawei to present dates for each of its flagship devices when registering, including detailed information on the first, second and third, with the addition of more Users in the beta version of OREO with each subsequent beta testing in the typical Huawei style.

It is safe to say that China has become the first country where Huawei launched the Beta version of Oreo, and makes beta versions available for download.

Huawei P10 Plus Oreo


Well, the older brother P10, Huawei P10 Plus should receive Android 8.0 to the same time when P10. The launch must be simultaneously for both of these Huawei smartphones, so everything that we talked above for P10 also relates to the P10 Plus, which should have its own registration program on the beta version of OREO for a stable version of the software 8.0.

Oreo Update for Honor 9

Expected update date before Android 8 Oreo: January 2018

Honor 9 is a specific Android Oreo candidate. The device should get it shortly after Huawei will complete the deployment 8.0 for Mate 9 and Huawei P10 sets.

The update of the beta version of Oreo for Honor could appear on the 9th day in November, which may take a month of testing.

After updating the beta version of Oreo with any problems discovered during testing, Huawei will release a stable version of its Oreo update for all users worldwide in January 2018.

Android 8 update for Honor 8

Expected update date before Oreo: Start of the second quarter of 2018

Huawei not very quickly posted 7.0 for Honor 8, but unlike Samsung, it was not very late.

Expect Huawei will release Honor 8 Oreo in the second quarter of 2018.

Honor 8 pro.


Honor 8 Pro is running from another processor than Honor 8, and this required a new task on an OREO update, supported by EMUI 6.0, which Huawei will be released for the device. Its starting time oreo must be at the same time as Honor 8.

Honor 8 Lite.


Expect that Android 8.0 support will start with Honor 8 and 8 Pro, and then Honor 8 Lite, which will see the version of Android 8.0 with the Nova phone series.

Huawei Nova 2.

Expected update date before Android 8.0: Second Quarter 2018

We expect Huawei to start updating Nova 2 Oreo in the second quarter of 2018. We do not think that Huawei will have a beta version for NOVA 2, as by that time they will successfully release the update EMUI 6.0 with Oreo for many devices mentioned above.

Thus, Huawei has already installed small errors that could be part of the initial releases of OREO, and will be able to directly withdraw Android 8.0 for NOVA 2 for a stable channel. It is also useful for users who can be confused due to a genuine update release when it removes a beta version for selected users.

Huawei Nova 2 Plus

NOVA 2 Plus should receive its software 8.0 OS in the second quarter of 2018. This may seem late, but, given the large portfolio of Huawei devices, it is easy to imagine that this is true. Take, for example, Samsung, whose smartphones of the Galaxy J, A and C series are still in the process of receiving the update Nougat, even when Oreo is missing.

Huawei Nova 2 Lite

Expect that Android-smartphones NOVA 2 Lite worldwide will feel the taste of updates for Android 8.0 in the second quarter of 2018 or at the beginning of the third quarter of 2018.

Oreo update for Huawei P9

Expected update date before Oreo: Second Quarter 2018

Huawei P9 was one of the few devices among the hundreds of Android devices, which were provided 7.0 OTA. Although, during the year a lot of things change, and with the release of Huawei P10 and P10 Plus, the P9 series will make a step back in terms of the fastest version of Android OS.

Android 8.0 support for Huawei P9 must arrive, but it will not be so soon. Huawei has a bunch of devices as part of its Oreo roadmap, for which it would prefer to deploy 8.0 OTA, for example, Mate 9, P10 and P10 Plus, Honor 9, etc.

The time when Huawei can prepare and release an assembly of 8.0 for P9, we think that this will be April-May 2018. Thus, the second quarter of 2018 seems to be a suitable guess at the moment, while Huawei does not officially submit its plans Oreo, which will give Much better picture.

Huawei P9 Plus.

P9 Plus users will have to wait for OREO support. In the line of the leading road map of the Huawei Oreo update ahead a large number of Devices, and 8.0 for P9 Plus will take some time. As mentioned above for P9, expect that Huawei will release Android 8.0 for P9 Plus at the beginning of the second quarter of 2018.

Huawei P9 Lite and Huawei P9 Lite Mini


We need to wait for official confirmation from Huawei that they plan to release Android 8.0 for P9 Lite and P9 Lite Mini. Since these are low-class devices that are usually only one large update The software that these two has already had in the form of Nougat, most likely, P9 Lite and P9 Lite Mini will not receive an OREO update.

Android 8 Oreo Update for Huawei P8

The expected release date: not to be updated

Huawei succeeded in updating the software on Huawei P8 before Android 7.0 Nougat timely, but when it comes to Oreo for P8, the time for the device has ended.

We really do not expect Huawei or any other OEM, if it went, will update any of your devices of 2015 to Oreo.

If Huawei does not confirm that it is planning to release Android 8.0 for P8, we believe that P8 users will have to live with Nougat as the latest Android OS update.

Huawei P8 Lite.

P8 Lite also launched in 2015 and, thus, like P8 itself, is not a candidate for Oreo.

Oreo Update for Huawei Honor 7X

Expected release date: Second Quarter 2018

The company announced the release of his phone Honor 7x in China on October 11. The device is running with the preset android OS 7.1.1, but this is normal, although we know that they plan to release Mate 10 (flagship device) October 16 with Android 8.0 on board.

Although, expect that Huawei will provide the timely android 8.0 update to Honor 7x. Since Honor 7x is an inexpensive device in the Huawei portfolio, its OREO will not be priority, like Mate 9, P10, Honor 8, etc.

However, despite this, Honor 7x should get the version of Android 8.0.0 in the second quarter of 2018.

Android 8 Update for Huawei Honor 6X

The expected release date: non-renewal / third quarter of 2018

Honor 6X, released from Android 6.0.1 on board, received the first major update to Android 7.0. Android devices In the price range, where the Honor 6x is sold, usually do not receive two main Android OS updates.

Consequently, we will not be surprised if Huawei will not release Android 8.0 for Honor 6x. But in the event that they do it, it will be amazing.

The release of Oreo for Honor 6X will also provide potential buyers Honor 7X confidence that their purchase will also see Android P to be released by Google in October 2018.

If Huawei releases Oreo for Honor 6x, expect that it will face your 6x in the third quarter of 2018.

Huawei Y3, Y5 and Y7 Oreo

Huawei Y Series, consisting of Y3, Y5 and Y7 phones, is designed for the budget market for smartphones. Android devices not only from Huawei, but also any other Android-OEM actually include the transition to new version.

The aforementioned is precisely why we are not sure that Y3 and Y5 and Y7 have the right to update Oreo. At best, we think that only version Y7 2017 can see the update to Android 8.0. Yes, we do not think that even the entire version of 2017 in the Y series will receive support 8.0.

In general, although Huawei Y7 2017 may turn out to be Oreo, Y3 2017, Y3 II, Y5 2017, Y5 II, Y6, Y6 II Compact, Y7 PRIME, etc. Do not look suitable for Android 8.0.

How android 8.0 Oreo update will be released for Huawei smartphones


Huawei also uses a beta version for its basic Android releases. Therefore, expect that the company will announce its Beta version of the OREO beta version, as soon as they are made with the release of Mate 10, on which they must be concentrated at the moment, as the release will happen in just a few weeks.

They must first release Oreo's update in China, which can be the only country in which they will also announce a beta program. Only for devices such as NOVA 2 Lite or Huawei P9 Lite and other devices that are specific to the country since their launch, they can initiate a beta program in these specific countries.

Update Huawei EMUI 6.0: What is it?


EMUI is the name of the custom shell from Huawei. Like Samsung Experience, or Miui Xiaomi, Huawei calls it to configure on Android.

With the Nougat EMUI reached its version 5.0, which has become a great improvement compared to EMUI 4.0, and it was praised for the reduction of unnecessary things that were not required, and ease of aesthetics and use.

EMUI 6.0 is expected that represents the Huawei designer plug compared to Android 8.0 Oreo, will be launched with Mate 10. We expect Huawei to simplify the setting and make your EMUI environment even easier to use.

Android 8.0 (Oreo) was tested in ...

Huawei officially released a stable update for Android 8.0 (Oreo) for Huawei P10 and P10 Plus devices. How to upload and install update?

Android 8.0 (OREO) was tested in Beta for about two months on Huawei P10 and P10 Plus devices. The update was finally modified to the stable version and became available to the owners of these models of smartphones. The update must be available (or it will be soon if you are not yet displayed) in the device settings.

Update Huawei P10 and P10 Plus for Android Oreo

The update can be downloaded via OTA or Over The Air Update. In other words, this is the official method of updating through the settings and the UPDATER application. Make sure you have connected to Internet Wi-Fi - The update is quite large and occupies more than 2 GB of data.

To update, after switching on Wi-Fi, go to "Setup"and select the tab with system updates. A screen will appear with the current software version, as well as the field. "Check availability of updates." Click this button to start searching for updates.

If the update is available for your device and the current software version, you can download the update. Load them and confirm the update.

The update will automatically restart the phone, and then the installation process will begin. It may take some time - do not turn off the phone with the power button during installation, just be patient.

When the update is set, the device will restart automatically. All your data will remain on the site - the update will not delete any applications or data on your phone. After upgrading the assembly number in the Telephone information should be changed by 8.0.0.360 (C432).

What if the update is not yet available?

If the update is not yet available for your device, you have two options to choose from. The first is just a patient waiting for Huawei to update available in a version compatible with your operator. However, if you do not want to wait, you can try to use the second method, that is, the forced update manually. To do this, set your phone the firmware of the Huawei Firmware Finder, which automatically searches latest updates For your device.

Download firmware for Huawei

Remember, however, that you use this application and apply update methods at your own risk. This update method is not officially supported by the manufacturer.

The application automatically recognizes your device, and then allows you to download the software directly from the Huawei servers. No root or bootloader is required to install, since the application only sets the official software. However, we recommend that you wait patiently until the update is available through the official channel.

New on MWC 2017 was divided into two camps: some interesting to discuss on the Internet and safely forget, the second failed so bright, but they will be bought. The second refers to Huawei and its new flagship P10. The manufacturer does not try to radically change its flagships every year and jump from the concept to the concept, and gradually develops and improves product line. The words of the company's management do not diverge with the case: they say that they consider FULL HD better resolution - Such displays and set, doubt the need for redundant RAM - in the new flagships are intelligent 4 GB.

It seems to be boring and nothing to discuss in the comments, but the company's understandable strategy can be seen and planned improvements in products. Such "predictable" smartphones really want to buy and use, and in a year to buy again. With his approach, Huawei (as well as Samsung and Sony) strengthen the attachment of users and increase loyalty, and do not cling to random enthusiasts by the most familiar flags, as is the LG and HTC and other companies.

When I first took Huawei P10 in my hand, I began to break away from contradictory emotions. On the one hand, it has everything that I lacked in last year's flagship, on the other - the company still could go further and not so cautiously cautiously with the update of the past model. Performance, screen, design, ergonomics, basic and front camera - all at the highest level. But so I want to protect against water and dust, the best camera and a firm position relative to the print scanner. And now about all this in more detail.

Talk about performance, screen quality, autonomy and other such parameters is boring. Huawei P10 is flagship smartphoneSo problems or some underwater stones for the first weeks of its use were not found. Much more interesting, I consider it design, camera, features of software and new scanner Fingerprints. Firstly, appearance Huawei P10 is the top. The manufacturer took into account all the wishes for the past generation and refused the German chip in favor of smooth bends and excellent ergonomics. At the same time, the new model has a corporate identity and awareness.

In addition, at the expense of partnership with the Pantone Color Institute, the number of modifications was expanded - the trendy green was added green, and another P10 is available in black, blue, two gold, white, silver and pink versions. Not all these options can be available on the Russian market, but the most interesting will accurately go on sale. And besides colors, there are still options for the texture of the back panel: either smooth metal, or a rough surface with a slight holographic effect. The second option looks steeper and very pleasant to the touch, but as well as everything is beautiful, it turns out terribly impractical - rub any dirt and traces of fingers becomes twice as harder.


In terms of mobile quality, Huawei products occupy a leading position in the market, which is due to a partnership with the leica's legendary photo protected. However, in Huawei P10 it was not without a spoon of the tar - the best camera is only available in P10 Plus. There is a new light optics, and in the model with a smaller screen, everything is identical to the flagship Fablet Mate 9. That is better than Huawei P9, but before P10 Plus does not reach. We remind you that we are talking about a tandem of a 20 megapixel monochrome and 12 megapixel color modules with an optical optical optical stabilization, a two-ton flash, as well as phase, continuous, laser and deep autofocus. On the one hand, photographs are very high quality, on the other - I really do not want to choose between best camera or smaller screen size. And to show the capabilities of Huawei P10, we chose from the test frames those that were filmed in the most difficult conditions and more often all turn out to be unsuccessful: in the evening, at night, in rainy twilight, on a cloudy day, in a half-year cafe and so on. Examples - in the gallery below.


Huawei P10 is running Android 7.0 with EMUI 5.1 branded interface. In my opinion, this is one of the best examples of high-quality shells of third-party manufacturers. In terms of usability and functionality, there are no questions - everything is done on excellent, without radical and meaningless changes regarding the original Android. However, many drew attention to the strange interface design. The standard theme uses three color solutions of branded applications icons, the principle of color of which is not amenable to understanding. For example, "video" and "notes" of violet color, "Music" and "Phone" - burgundy, and the "gallery" icons and " Email"In green tones. If you wish, you can change the topic in a few seconds and not to score the head of the logic of designers, but I still give me curiosity - why exactly, and not otherwise the icons are painted.

Another interesting, but again a very careful change in Huawei P10 was the transfer of the print scanner from the rear panel under the screen and changing its functionality. Now this is an elongated touch pad, which can not only unlock the smartphone, but also take on the functions of the standard Android buttons: home, back and multitasking. Normal Pressing on the scanner will return you back, strong - on the home screen, and the horizontal turnchers opens the list running applications. The concept itself is very good: allows you to cancel the touch buttons and do not take the place on the screen virtual. But personally, I would not retain in the settings the possibility of incorporating the latter - if you offer users a new and convenient solution, then you need to do it in a more ultimate form. In addition, by default, the virtual is still enabled, so you need to know about the presence of such a setting and on your own on your own.

By the way, the work of the scanner in Huawei P10 deserves the highest marks. While all the dactyloscopic smartphones sensors read and recognize the imprint for the share of secular, only Huawei managed to clearly demonstrate. The manufacturer abandoned any animation of unlocking and the effects of the home screen, therefore the process of touching to readiness to work at Huawei P10 is unrealistic. At that moment, when you only touch the button, the backlight turns on and the desktop appears. It is very difficult to describe such words, therefore it will have to be limited to written delights about the speed of unlocking P10.

According to the testing of Huawei P10, I consider this unit with one of the strongest and balanced flagships from all the devices presented for the current time. Yes, in something, the company Huawei decided to reinforce and part of the natural innovations were designed for the following generations, but even the changes in P10 relative to the last model will be enough to decide on the purchase. First of all, it is a gorgeous ergonomics and design, in the second - very high-quality cameras and excellent performance, to the third - thoughtful software, energy efficiency and a great screen.

Firmware is a set of built-in smartphone software, tablet or other digital device necessary for its normal functioning. In the smartphone of their Huawei tablets, firmware on the basis of the Android operating system of various versions, as well as the Emotion UI branded graphic shell.

How to find out the current firmware version?

To clarify the current version of the software, you need to go to the settings - about the phone / about the tablet PC - the system update. Version are three numbers after the letter B.
For example, the assembly number V100R001C00B122 means that you have the 122nd firmware version. Any firmware with numbers more than these is newer.

Read more about the versions of the firmware:

So, let's take a look at the numbering of the firmware of Huawei smartphones. For example, take the firmware from Huawei Ascend. Mate - MT1-U06 V100R001C00B907.

As you probably guessed, MT1-U06 is the name of the device. MT1 is the main base, that is, Huawei Mate, U06 is the revision of the device. Devices are different revisions, in this post I will not go into the details of their designation, I will only say that the letter U is UMTS (normal 3G), and the letter C - CDMA version. MT1-U06 revisions are supplied to Russia.

CXXBXXXSPXX is the main option in the firmware, it shows what version of the BXXX firmware is collected by the BXXX firmware - numerical database class for the SPXX-number SPXX number. The higher Bxxx and SPXX, the newer firmware. (BXXX is more priority compared to SPXX). CXX is the region of the country.

Next, consider the firmware version itself - V100R001C00B907. V100 and R001 are the main version and revision of the firmware. They change in very rare cases when a large change occurs compared to the previous firmware version (for example, the transition from Android 2.x to 4.x). Even within the version of Android 4.x, these values \u200b\u200busually do not change.

C00B907 - For most new devices, the value of the C00 no longer changes, but in general it means binding to the region. Now the region can be defined in the "Special Version" menu item - CUSTC10B907.

So, for smartphones region Russia (CHANNEL / RU) is CUSTC10. The binding to the region easily changes with a special firmware file, in some official firmware there is a Update.app file in the CUST folder weighing several megabytes or kilobytes that changes the region to Russia.

B907 - the firmware itself itself. I think it is not necessary to explain what it is higher, the newer firmware.

Where to download the official firmware for my model?

Currently, most of the smartphones with the original software without modified system files Firmware come using FOTA updates (update "by air"). If you got root rights, or you haven't come to the air update yet, you can download yourself actual version Firmware from the official site and install it in manual mode.
