Huawei Mate 9 series was launched in 2016 and truth be told, that is a long time away. That was before smartphones started adopting the 18:9 aspect ratio and full-screen design. But the device was one popular model and fans of the model still expect Huawei to provide an update for the model. Recently, Mate 9 users signed a petition urging Huawei to release EMUI 10 based on Android 10 update for the model. A response issued by the company on Instagram indicated that the Chinese giant was working on an update for the Mate 9. While Mate 9 users were basking in the good news, it turns out the response may have been generated by a bot.
According to Huawei Central, Huawei has now responded, confirming that the Mate 9 WILL NOT receive the latest Android 10-based EMUI 10 update. The response also included some clarification that the statement on Instagram wasn’t given by an official representative.
Huawei Mate 9 made its debut in 2016 packing a 5.9-inch display, powered by Kirin 960 processor and preloaded with Android 7 (EMUI 5) then upgraded to Android 8 (EMUI 8) and last year it received Android 9 based EMUI 9.1. Looks like users will have to stick with the Android 9 based EMUI 9.1 or upgrade to a newer model like the Mate 30 which runs EMUI 10.
