For those updated to 156, does your camera have 10x zoom function? Just updated mine about 20 minutes ago but cannot zoom more than 2x

It does. You can only pinch up to 2x, to get to 10x you need to use the slider or the + on the right overlay.

When I plugged into My PC this morning, HiSuite took longer than usual When I clicked on 'update', and then gave me this information.

I was on b156 previously.

The phone didn't do a restart or anything but my immediate impression is that they've tweaked the touch screen response. It registers finger movement quicker and the screen does not feel as 'sticky'.

There was no changelog - security Remains Jan 1st

any official release for this update?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Badonga:
B158

Some of the things I noticed in B158:

1. The "HD" icon for VoLTE has been changed to... Well... VoLTE (I guess too many people asked Huawei what the hell did the "HD" icon means lol)

2. Added the 10x zoom in addition to 6X zoom in B138 (I am quite impressed by this feature after experimenting with zooming far-off texts).

3. Significantly lower battery drain (I noticed only 2% battery drain after 8 hours of good night sleep, using dual sim, 4G on, mobile data on, GPS on). This compared to B138 is a big difference. I had about 5-6% drop with GPS off in B138.

4. Hidden indicator of mobile network type (the 4G+/4G/3G/H/H+/etc.) for the sim that doesn't have mobile data on. The mobile network type for both sims will be hidden if you're on wifi. I wonder why though.

All in all, I really only care about getting better battery life and this update doesn't disappoint.

This update will be officially on your phones soon enough. Do not ask me how I get it because it costs money and I am obsessed with battery life and that is why I did it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] domon07:
i'm gonna try it again.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:

failed to install the update. if i authenticate thru wifi, it will prompt that the server is unavailable. if i switch to mobile data, it will fail and delete the update file because the package is unauthorized. i hope there's another way to install this without paying for anything.
