The Huawei P20’s AI features will come to the Mate 10 through Android 8.1 update

For owners of the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro, Huawei is giving you access to the additional artificial intelligence-detected scenes introduced in the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro. The caveat is you’ll have to wait for the Android 8.1 Oreo update to hit your device. These AI-detected scenes help take the guesswork out of what settings are needed for a specific scene. Huawei introduced six on top of the 13 already available in the Mate 10s, including fireworks, document scan, waterfall, group photo, natural colors, and macro.

But if this isn’t a feature you want, the Mate 10s will also soon get the P20s’ ability to disable scene recognition. This option isn’t available to the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro at the moment. Huawei’s Richard Yu did give a specific timeline though when the update will come to these devices.
