The Huawei P20 Lite will be one of the lucky ones to have the Android 9 update under EMUI 9, the most recent version of the system. At the moment, there are no exact dates, but everything indicates that the device will begin to receive it in a matter of weeks, possibly for the month of April. The owners of the terminal are already counting the days, especially considering that the Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro, its range brothers, received it last December.
Features of the Android 9 Pie update for the Huawei P20 Lite
The Huawei P20 Lite landed on the market last year with Android 8 Oreo under EMUI 8 inside, a version that has already become obsolete after the launch of Android 9 and the imminent deployment of the first beta of Android Q. One of the great features that will be available in the terminal once the update is deployed is the inclusion of GPU Turbo 2.0. This feature will dramatically improve device performance, reducing touch lag by nearly 50% and improving heat management. This will be very interesting to play games like Fortnite.
Also, Android 9 will bring to the P20 Lite the adaptive battery function, which uses machine learning on the computer to understand which applications will be used in the next few hours, days or weeks. In this way, by making use of this information, the platform is able to adapt to a single use pattern, thus saving battery. To all this must be added a new automatic, adaptive brightness, which in the same way will adjust intelligently according to the patterns of use of the phone. With Android 9 along with EMUI 9 there are also improvements in performance, security or privacy. In general, it is a more intelligent, efficient system that learns from use to better understand the user and their needs.
When will the Huawei P20 Lite be updated to Android 9 Pie
Recently the guys from Huawei Central got in touch with the company to get more information about the P20 Lite update. An exact date has not been given, but an approximate one. Everything indicates that if there are no last minute delays, the official OTA with the system update will be launched in April of this year, that is, in just a few weeks. We will update the article to give you all the details at that time, but the normal thing is that as soon as it is available you will receive a pop-up message on the device screen advising you to download. Another option is to go to the settings, system, update software section and check if there is a new version available.
How to install Android 9 Pie on the Huawei P20 Lite
Since the update will be available via OTA (over the air) it will not be necessary to use any type of cable to install Android 9 on the Huawei P20 Lite. This means that you only need to be connected to a WiFi network to download and install it. Of course, make sure when the time comes that you are in a place with a stable and secure connection. Never update if you are on public WiFi or with your phone's data connection.
Also, once you hit the update button, let the phone do all the steps by itself. Do not touch anything and be patient until Android 9 makes an appearance, which will be basically when it asks you to enter the access key.
