After two months without updates, our Huawei Mate Xs has just received a large update containing multiple different packages, bringing various changes and the security patches for three different months. Starting by the security patches, this update includes the patches released in September, November and December 2021.

We then find the addition of VoLTE and VoWiFi HD voice calls, which stand for “Voice over LTE” and “Voice over WiFi” and enables users to make calls using their data plans. This feature usually depends on the telecom operator the customer is using, and varies from country to country and region to region.

This update also adds the Huawei Apps folder, which recommends various applications of the manufacturer. In this specific case, users will get a shortcut/link to the applications on AppGallery, allowing them to decide whether they want to download these apps or not. The applications recommended by default are Books, Petal Maps, GameCenter, Link Now and the Celia Keyboard.

This new update changes the version from TAH-N29m 11.0.0.186(C432E2R2P1) to TAH-N29m 11.0.0.206(C432E2R2P1) and is 1.89 GB in size.
