Apparently, Huawei will begin rolling out the stable version of EMUI 9 based on Android 9 Pie on October 16th. This will be a little over two months since Google published the source code in AOSP, which makes sense, especially thanks to Project Treble. Still, you can never be sure with software release dates because anything can happen somewhere along the way.
