The update tags along the latest monthly security patches, adds support for Bone ID, a feature that lets users of the Note 10 use their voice to unlock the device as well as make payments, adds voice commands to FlyPods Pro headsets, and fixes screen playback issues where it would occasionally turn black during multitasking.

In the new update, you also find AI-based features like AI Smart Scheduling for a superior gaming experience as well as plenty of other bug fixes and performance optimizations.

The Honor Note 10, as the name suggests, is Huawei’s answer to Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the best smartphone money can buy today. But we aren’t here to compare these two, rather, this post is about the Honor Note 10 software updates, be it official or unofficial news, download links and their changelogs, be it that you want to find out if and when the device will receive the next Android OS, and so on.

So far, the Honor Note 10 has yet to receive a global audience, but of course, some have already shipped the phone from China to whatever corner of the world they inhabit. Of course, we expect global availability sooner or later.

Launched with Android 8.1 Oreo preinstalled, the Honor Note 10 was never a doubt with respect to the Pie update. In fact, we expected the phone to be part of the initial wave that consisted the likes of Huawei P20, Mate 10, and Honor Play, among others, but the phablet had to wait until November 20th, which is when the second wave of devices started receiving EMUI 9.0 beta based on Android 9 Pie.

The update is coming in as EMUI 9.0.5.56 and is rolling out over the air to those who had submitted their interest when Huawei announced the program for the device in October 2018. To get the OTA, you also need to be using at least EMUI version 8.2.0.151.

With testing expected to last several weeks, we could see the stable version start rolling out towards the end of this year or early 2019.
