Chinese telecom giant HUAWEI announced EMUI 11 at the HUAWEI DEVELOPER CONFERENCE 2020 in September. Since then, the company has been running beta programs for eligible devices worldwide. One of those phones is HUAWEI Mate20 X 5G, which began to receive Open Beta updates in late December. Now, a little over a month later, it has started getting the stable update.
The HUAWEI Mate20 X 5G launched in late July 2019 as the company’s first 5G smartphone. It debuted with EMUI 9.1 based on Android 9.0 Pie. But was later updated to Android 10-based EMUI 10 and EMUI 10.1.
This handset has now begun to receive its second major update in the form of EMUI 11, which unfortunately is also based on Android 10. Nevertheless, it does bring new features and UI tweaks.
That said, currently, the update is only live for the Chinese variant of this smartphone with build number 11.0.0.130. According to Huawei Central, the EMUI 11 stable release for HUAWEI Mate20 X 5G is available for users on both beta and stable channels.
As for global markets, this phone is scheduled to get the update in Q1 2021. Hence, we can expect the firm to roll out the build by the end of March.
