While Huawei is making efforts to improve its firmware seeding system, there is still a major concern among users regarding the rollout time.
Currently, Huawei is still circulating the March 2023 security patch for its smartphones, and users are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the April EMUI patch.
It’s worth noting that software updates are released in batches, which means that not all users will receive the update at the same time. However,
Huawei has been facing several challenges over the past few years, including US trade sanctions that have restricted its access to essential technologies, such as Google Mobile Services.
Despite these challenges, the company has continued to release new devices and update its software to provide users with the best possible experience.
