Huawei has started rolling out a software update to the Mate 9 smartphone.

The new update has started rolling out to Huawei Mate 9 users over-the-air (OTA) gradually.

Android Central in a report points out that the software update also bumps the Android security update version to November. The update is said to fix an issue in notifications that made reading the texts in it nearly impossible. On the camera front, the update adds 6x hybrid zoom to the Mate 9 smartphone. The report adds that there are general improvements in details and colour accuracy on the clicked shots. The Mate 9 has reportedly also seen improvements in low-light shots.

The handset is expected to be available in China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and the UAE in the first wave of launches. Unfortunately, Huawei is yet to reveal availability details of the Mate 9 for the Indian market.
