Hi all,
I am thinking of getting a Honoor 9 Lite to toy with. Before I commit, I am curious to know how frequent does the phone gets security patch? I know Huawei was talking about being more active in releasing security patches, but I don't know if it really did happen with Honor.
Thanks

Why samsung takes so much time to release ROM updates?
In Brazil the last one is N950FXXU1AQI1 and was released in september 10th.
Because they suck with updates :crying: They update the cheap and older models first and then the flagships.

If you don't know what's going on, then don't react at all!
The November security-patch is on test now; there were problems to be solved first:
* freezing problems after using Contacts-app
* High battery usage AOD
BlueBorne has been patched in the latest update
They are crap with updates, my UK unlocked exynos is on August security patch. What happened to September's and October's? Shocking. I have the S8 as well and that wasn't too bad with updates.

That may be but its taking Samsung since ages way to long to offer firmware updates and security patches. If Sony or Nokia can do it so should Samsung beeing a humongous company with more devs then any other OEM. Hopefully they will implement Project Treble in Oreo for easier and faster patch updates.

The problem isn't all Samsung's. Part of the issue is having to go through the carriers.
Google hopes to start solving the problem with Project Treble. If that works as advertised, we'll get more timely critical updates. The trouble is, we won't see Treble until Oreo hits the streets.
Already received October update on MiA1 and MiA2, given that these two devices already receive late updates, Nokia claims themselves to be fast on providing updates, but they haven't provided October patch yet, while all major manufacturers are doing it.
October security patch fixes a major security flaw in the framework that lets hacker execute codes on your phone remotely.

According to HMD it's either your carrier or your country holding it up. They need to come up with better excuses

October patch is not out yet.
I am already on Pie, but it's buggy as hell.
I suspect that they are working on a stable Pie update for rest of the world and at the same time trying to fix the bugs, but they are too late at that.

The same build is rolling out for everyone. Bugfixes will be included in security patches.
This device is still on the September security patch which was rolled out just before October ended. No signs of October security update yet. Is anyone else also getting annoyed at this situation?
I for one only purchased the device looking at the Android One tag and the 5000mah battery.
They have Android One and monthly security updates promise plastered all over their product page and yet are not bothered to even update an Android One device.
Isn't this Google's job to make sure Android One partners provide timely security updates?
Xiaomi gets a lot of flak here on XDA for not updating their devices to the latest OS but they are atleast providing timely security patches to their Android One devices. Motorola here is not bothered to even update their Android One device.
Can we get someone from the XDA team to do an article regarding this? That way more people will know the real state of affairs regarding this device before purchasing it.
I just received the December Security patch for my Verizon Note 9 (N960U) but since Verizon likes to not give ANY fuc#ing information about their updates I haven't noticed any changes, I'll keep looking. Maybe someone else discover something...
Guess we won't be getting security updates then, mine is still stuck on 1st November 18

Huawei can stay in China.... sux to be Honor.
It's getting real bad now. Still on November security patches and it's now march. This all on a phone which hasn't even been out a year yet. Honor need to get their game together, I was impressed by the spec and price but support has been atrocious.
