Fyi... From Huawei customer service:

"In regards of the Honor 8X specifically, we would like to kindly inform you that due to the latest events and situations that needed attention, the release of the EMUI 9 Upgrade towards our devices that needed final adjustments have been slightly delayed and for the 8X, the timeframe is for early Summer to be finished the pushing.

Given the situation at the moment we do not feel confident to provide an exact date, however, we are expecting the whole EMUI 9 upgrade to be finalized and pushed for all devices by the end of Summer ( August / September ) and for your device, the Honor 8X we are confident that all network operators will have the files by the end of June, latest in the early days of July."

I've got a question.

I always thought that software for unlocked SIM free phones would be released first before network operators tinker with it and release their version.

But it seems some networks get the update out way before unlocked phones get it.

Is this the case?

Just got 9.0.1.162 May 2019 security patch for the JSN-L21. Doesn't make much sense as it's not listed as an OTA in Firmware Finder and later versions are.
