Earlier this month, Huawei began EMUI 11 Beta program for the 2019’s P-flagship, P30/P30 Pro devices. Today, the company has extended the program to 14 other devices all of them powered by the same SoC.
As MyDriver reports, Huawei has announced Open Beta for various Huawei and Honor older flagships and tablets. The program brings EMUI 11 based on Android 10 to the Huawei and Magic UI 4.0 for Honor devices. You can take a look at the list below:
Huawei Devices
- HUAWEI Mate 20
- HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro
- PORSCHE DESIGN HUAWEI Mate20 RS
- HUAWEI Mate 20X
- HUAWEI Mate 20X 5G
- HUAWEI Mate X
- HUAWEI nova5 Pro
Honor Devices
- HONOR 20
- HONOR 20 Pro
- HONOR V20
- HONOR Magic2
Huawei MatePad Tablets
- HUAWEI MediaPad M6 10.8
- HUAWEI MediaPad M6 8.4
- HUAWEI MediaPad M6 Turbo
It’s worth noting that the devices above have already got the closed Beta of the EMUI 11 and Magic UI 4.0 respectively. Interestingly, they are powered by Huawei’s Kirin 980 SoC that is two years old.
Despite being a very old CPU, it is built on the 7nm process which still other companies use on their chipsets. And it is the world’s first 7nm chipset with dedicated NPUs(Neural Processing Unit). Besides, it is good to see Huawei updating older chipsets despite missing Android 11 features and Google Mobile Services due to the US ban.
Anyway, the current Beta is for the Chinese market and as usual, users will have to go to the Huawei Club to sign up for it. Precisely, you can follow the steps below to get the latest update:
- on Huawei Club(App)
- Open Huawei Club App -> Forum -> right corner ->㗊 ->EMUI Area ->Beta Program.
- using a PC,
- Huawei Club website->section->EMUI->Beta program
Having said that, the devices above which launched Globally will get the update by Q1 of 2021 according to the company’s timeline. Assuming the stable update rolls for the public beta users by next month in China, global users expect it to arrive soon after that.
However, there is no definite date yet and we suggest you wait for the company to state it officially. Meanwhile, you can look at the latest features of the EMUI 11 that was announced back at HDC 2020 in September.
