Moreover, some regions should start noticing the arrival of the EMIUI 8.0 update�by today itself. However, the company doesn’t mention which regions will get it first. So, you can go ahead to keep checking in the coming weeks on your Mate 10 by heading over to Settings > About Phone > Software Updates.
Also, the Huawei Mate 10 is also sold in many parts of the world with different names, for instance, in India Huawei calls it Honor 9i. While in other parts of Asia such as in China it is branded as Huawei Nova 2i, while in the Malaysian markets the device is named as Mimang 6. These cousins of the Mate 10 Lite should also start receiving the update pretty soon.
It is good to see that the OEM is not ignoring the Lite version of its flagship and is offering a significant Android OS upgrade.
