Huawei’s P10 has finally received Android 9.0 “Pie”/EMUI9.0, after a long delay. Initially, the update was being rolled out in March, around the same time as the Mate 9, although, for unknown reasons, Huawei decided to delay it until the end of May, leaving some of us waiting for the new version of EMUI. According to the little information we could find, it would seem Huawei experienced issues with the rollout of EMUI9.0 on the P10, preferring to pause the update and fix the issues before continue pushing the upgrade.
The last update received by the P10 was Google’s security patch for the month of March 2019, missing on April, most likely include with the update to EMUI9.0.
As with the Mate 9, this version of EMUI is not labelled as “EMUI9.0”, but instead comes as “EMUI9.0.1”. As per usual, before any big update, it is heavily recommended to back-up all the data, in case something goes wrong during the update process, and the device has to be reset, wiping all the data.
This new patch changes the version from VTR-L09 8.0.0.286(C432) to VTR-L09 9.0.1.158(C432E1R1P9) and is 3.56 GB in size. As a quick mention, this update brings the Android security patch to 5 May 2019, putting the P10 next to other devices such as the Mate RS or the P30 Pro.
The patch notes read as following:
