The update brings a number of bug fixes and stability improvements to both devices. The update to EMUI, the company’s Android Oreo build, is version 8.0.0.127 (SP1C00) and it is the same for both devices.
From an optimization perspective, there are seven improvements noted in the release notes for the build.

With the firmware now rolling out in China, it is only a matter of time before the international variants of the Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro see this update. Huawei, like other manufactures, tends to release updates close to home first to make sure everything runs smoothly before turning the spigot up on the rest of the world.
As for the US, the Mate 10 Pro is available for pre-order with a shipping date of February 18th. It is $799 with a free $150 Amazon Gift card on Amazon.
