Huawei continues to carry out a painstaking work regarding the monthly security patches and, through its official website, has just proceeded to illustrate all the details of those of April 2022, with an attached complete list of Huawei-branded smartphones and tablets and of the HONOR smartphones prior to the sale that will receive them.
The Chinese manufacturer is confirmed as one of the best in terms of timeliness of security updates and this month even anticipated Google and Samsung, although the difference in modus operandi should be noted: the Mountain View house has already released the Google Play system update , but not the update for the Pixel; the South Korean manufacturer has not yet released this month's Security Maintenance Release (SMR), but has already begun to distribute it. Before entering into the merits of the update, the usual premise must be made: the HarmonyOS topic will not be touched here, which is obviously at the center of the present and future plans of the Chinese manufacturer, but only that of the EMUI / Magic UI with Android based (open source).
Huawei: all the details of the security patches of April 2022 All the details of the security update for the month of March 2022 for EMUI and Magic UI have already been made available by Huawei on its official website. As usual, the patches are broken down into third-party library patches (CVE announced in the February 2022 Android security bulletin) and Huawei patches. Below we see what is reported by the manufacturer. Third party library patch
