Here’s when HUAWEI plans to launch Android Pie-based EMUI 9 update
June 14, 2025
Android 9.0 Pieis out now and many manufacturers have been working to deliver the update to their devices. Now, it seems like aHuaweirepresentative has revealed its plans for the update.
A HUAWEI South Africa spokesperson toldMyBroadbandthat the manufacturer would release itsEMUI9 skin, based on Android Pie, at theIFA trade shownext month.
“First, the P20 series will be released in September, and the Mate series will be launched in the future,” the spokesperson added, according to the publication.
What about other devices?
In other words, theP20series seems like the only major HUAWEI device range with a firm Android Pie timeline. It’s unclear if this statement means theP20 Litewill receive the update at the same time too.
The statement also raises questions about updates for mid-range and low-end HUAWEI devices. Hopefully theProject Trebleframework — primarily available on devices that shipped with Oreo — means more devices get updated.
The news comes a few weeks after a report thatHUAWEI was testing Android Pieon the P20,Mate 10 Pro,HONOR 10, andHONOR V10. In response to the report, an HONOR representative toldAndroid Authoritythat the company didn’t have an internal timeline to share for Android Pie.
We’ve contacted HUAWEI’s representatives for confirmation of the latest Android Pie news and will update the article accordingly.
