However, the company is still rolling out updates on phones. The Mate 9 series is getting a new update that offers some new features to the phones. The latest update to the Mate 9 series runs the software version at EMUI 9.1.0.228. The update is more than 3.20GB in size.

New Features

The update adds two main features to the phones, one is screen sharing and the other is smart charging mode. Let's take a look at what these two features offer.
As per changelog, the screen sharing update allows users to share the screen with the person in front of them while on video calls. On the other hand, the smart charging mode verifies the usage of your phone and applies it while charging which protects the health of your battery.

Even if your phone is charged overnight, it will prevent overcharging and slows down before the phone's charge reaches 100%. The Smart charging mode further increases battery life. The update also offers the May 2020 security patch on the Mate 9 series.

When it comes to Huawei's phones, it can be said that the company's handsets have always incorporated a good quality camera. In addition, software and battery life are much better than other brands.
