Updates do not arrive at the same time

We must remember that when we announce the availability of a specific update, that does not mean that your mobile phone, purchased in Spain, will receive it. Brands distinguish by model number and this identification generally serves a certain smartphone. Here are the Huawei models that have been confirmed to receive the brand’s latest software.
