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.

The post EMUI 11 and Magic UI 4.0 Open Beta program begins for older flagships and tablets appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huawei announced EMUI 11 as the latest version of its mobile operating system earlier this month at the HUAWEI DEVELOPER CONFERENCE (HDC) 2020. At the very same day, the company started rolling out the beta updates to 10 of its devices in China. A few days later, 9 more devices were added to the program as the company promised. Now, the firm has opened beta registrations for two more devices namely HUAWEI Mate Xs and HUAWEI MatePad 10.8.

The first batch of EMUI 11 Beta  initiative included the entire P40 series, Mate30 series, and the MatePad Pro tablet. Whereas, the second batch brought in certain nova7 and nova6 series smartphones as well as some HONOR 30 and V30 series handsets.

Now, the third batch has been announced in China and surprisingly, it only includes two devices. They are HUAWEI Mate Xs (TAH-AN00m), the last foldable form the company and HUAWEI MatePad 10.8 (SCMR-AL09, SCMR-W09).

That said, we expect the Chinese telecom giant to start recruiting beta testers for more devices in the coming days. Above all, we also look forward to seeing more regions added to the global beta program, in addition to new devices apart from the P40 lineup and Mate30 Pro.

Anyway, these are just beta build builds ast the name implies and the stable rollout for the current beta devices may take some more time.

Huawei officially announced EMUI 11 earlier this month at the HUAWEI DEVELOPER CONFERENCE 2020. Initially, the beta builds of the company’s latest mobile software were limited to certain devices in China. Now, the Chinese smartphone maker has begun to recruit beta testers in Germany, Russia, Turkey, and the UK.

EMUI 11 is the ninth iteration of Huawei’s mobile operating system. Unfortunately, it is based on Android 10 due to the US ban. However, the company has promised to bring select Android 11 features to its devices before updating them to HarmonyOS later next year.

That said, the company has rolled out beta builds of the new version of its Android skin to a plethora of devices in its home country China. Thankfully, it has now started beta recruitment for global markets as well.

Currently, the registrations for the EMUI 11 Beta program is live in Germany, Russia, Turkey, and the UK for the following four smartphones.

• HUAWEI P40
• HUAWEI P40 Pro
• HUAWEI P40 Pro+
• HUAWEI Mate30 Pro

We expect Huawei to soon open global beta registrations for more handsets as well as tablets in the coming weeks. 

Anyway, it is worth noting that this initiative is purely for beta builds that may contain severe bugs. So we would recommend you to stay away from it if you don’t know what you are getting into. 

Further, although the Chinese telecom giant will begin to seed beta builds to selected users in a few days from now, the stable rollout may take time.
