Huawei P20, Huawei Mate 10, and more will start getting bi-monthly software updates

Earlier today, Huawei announced that they will be introducing software updates every two months for many of their smartphones. These updates will include not only new features and bug fixes, but the latest security patches as well. The company has previously been criticised for its lack of updates, with security patches often taking months to reach their devices as well. Bi-monthly updates have been promised for the following devices.

The company has announced that the first software updates will arrive before the end of July for the above handsets. It should include not only the latest security patches but a face unlock feature too, to complement the already available security features. It will also be completely configurable so that you can still have to swipe on the screen to trigger the face scanning if you want. This would then allow you to check the time and your notifications without unlocking your device. They aren't the only ones introducing face unlock through updates, with Nokia recently announcing that a number of their devices would get it too.

Larking Huang, Managing Director of the company's Australia Consumer Business Group made a statement to AusDroid providing information about the upcoming face unlock feature.

Huawei is committed to improving our new and existing customers' experiences. We hope our customers will continue to find great enjoyment from using their Huawei smartphones. Face Unlock is a feature that has been, until now, limited to premium smartphones. Huawei is proud to be able to bring this feature to a wider, more accessible range of smartphones. We are a leading innovator in smartphone technology and we will continue to provide Australian users with cutting edge products, which complement their needs and lifestyle – without having to break the bank. This firmware update ensures the majority of our phones released over the past two years, beyond our 2018 smartphone releases, feature Face Unlock capabilities.

While it's great that the company is starting to pay attention to its flaws in security, they aren't the only ones committing to releasing more security patches. OnePlus announced earlier today that they will be doing the exact same as well with security patches, and other companies have been keeping up to date with theirs for a long time now. It's certainly a step in the right direction, and we'll have to see how well they stick to it.

Huawei starts rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo to Mate 10 Lite & P10 Lite Smartphones

After the beta testing on the Huawei Mate 10 Lite and P10 Lite, the OEM has finally started rolling out the new software update to these handsets. According to reports, few users in Germany have already started receiving the firmware update and will be hitting all the devices slowly depending on the models and the locations. The size of this update is 2.5GB and 500MB from the beta version. The build number for the Huawei P10 Lite is WAS-LX1A 8.0.0.362 (C432), while it is RNE-L01 8.0.0.330 (C432) for the Mate 10 Lite.

If you have not received the update yet, go to the setting of the smartphone and tap on system updates. Not check if your device has received the latest update. If there is a new update, you can download it and it has to be installed after that. Make sure the charging on the device is more than 60 percent when the installation starts. Also, do not forget to back up your data before installing the update.

Few of the change logs that the new update will bring are as follows

  • The settings menu gets all new designed
  • AI improvements have been made to improve the overall user experience when navigating through the menus and also the OS boots up faster and works smoother.
  • Now holding onto an app icon will display commonly used features and actions of the app itself.
  • Improved security of the system and the PrivateSpace app
  • Smart tips will help you get the most out of the EMUI
  • The user can now sync more details of their LinkedIn contacts with email and calendar
  • Added recycle bin in the gallery app that stores deleted photos up to 30 days
  • The Phone Manager app has been improved – traditional cleansing takes less time while the thorough cleansing clears more thoroughly
  • The phone can be connected to two Bluetooth devices at the same time

As of now, the update can be seen in some parts of Germany and we can expect it to be hitting globally very soon. Have you received the update on your device? Comment in the section below and stay tuned to Android Advices for more news and updates.
