The long awaited Android 10 based EMUI 10 update is finally being rolled out to the Huawei Mate 30 series of smartphones. The major update brings various new features and improvements and was officially announced earlier this week and details a total of five mobile models receiving the update.
For those unaware, EMUI is a heavily modified custom skin from Huawei that is based on Google’s Android OS platform. Thus, the latest EMUI 10 is based on the Android 10 OS and also features much of the same improvements and functions alongside proprietary features from the Chinese tech giants as well. The custom skin arrives with a unique UI and is currently being used by more than 50 million users worldwide.
The latest EMUI 10 update is currently being tested for five flagship smartphone models from Huawei, including Huawei Mate 30, Mate 30 5G, Mate 30 Pro, Mate 30 Pro 5G and the special edition Mate 30 RS Porsche Design. Since its a major update, the new software brings new features and performance improvements across the board. A notable example is a new system wide Dark Mode function alongside Xiao AI voice assistant and the new HMS service applications.

The upgrade also arrives with Android’s latest security patch for the month of January in 2020. This brings fixes to known bugs and also arrives with other quality of life improvements, like a smoother and more stable app launch, the addition of GPU Turbo 4.0 and the 2nd generation of Ark compiler. The beta version of the EMUI 10 being tested in the Mate 30 series also brings multi screen functions to boost productivity.
The registration period for the internal testing was only from 19th February to 23rd February 2020. So if you are looking for applying now, it might be too late, but for the lucky 1000 users that did get selected, you will receive the EMUI 10 update. Notably, those that are selected do not need to flash or root their devices but returning to the stable build can only occur after the beta program concludes.
