Last week, Huawei started rolling out Magic UI 3.1 update to Honor 20 users in India. Now, the Honor View 20 has also begun to receive the update in the region. The company’s new mobile software for this handset comes with Android 10, bears build number EMUI 10.1.0.221, and weighs 4.91GB in size.

EMUI 10.1 aka Magic UI 3.1 initially debuted on Huawei P40 series. Then, the company began to seed it out to more devices starting in the company’s home country China. As the firms finished up rolling out the update in that region, it began to start updating global variants.

Since Huawei is a big name in Europe, devices in those countries were first in line to receive the update. As days passed by, the company finally seeded out Magic UI 3.1 to Honor 20 in India last week. Now, even the Honor View 20 aka Honor V20 has also started to get it.

Like any other system update, it is being rolled out in batches. Anyway, when the OTA hits your device, make sure to download and install it to experience new features like Multi-Window, Multi-Screen Collaboration, Cross-Device Photo Gallery, and more.

The first-ever Magic UI 3.1 Closed Beta for Honor V20 was released in April alongside Honor V30 series and Honor 20 series. That means, it took the company four months to deliver the stable update in India.

Honor 20 was one of the last Huawei smartphones to launch in India with GMS (Google Mobile Services). This handset came with Magic UI 2.1 based on Android Pie out of the box. Now, it is receiving the newly released Magic UI 3.1 in the country.

Just like Xiaomi (MIUI 12), Huawei has been rolling out EMUI 10.1/Magic UI 3.1 to its smartphones and tablets worldwide. After completing the rollout in China, the company is focusing on international markets.

Just last month, Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro began to receive the much-awaited Magic UI 3.1 in Europe. Now, the same update is live in India but only the former device has got it so far.

The latest OTA system update for Honor 20 in India weighs a whopping 4.63GB in size and comes with build number 10.1.0.230. Apart from bringing new features, the update also bumps up the security patch level to June 2020.

The new Huawei mobile software brings features like Multi-Screen Collaboration, Cross-Device Photo Gallery, Multi-Window, Huawei MeeTime video calling app, and more.

As usual, the update is being rolled out in batches and hence it may take time to reach every unit out there.

Huawei unveiled EMUI 10.1/Magic UI 3.1 alongside the P40 series earlier this year. Since then, the company has bee continuously seeding the update to all the eligible devices worldwide. As the rollout is about to end in China, the firm has now begun to focus on global variants of its handsets. Hence, Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro have begun to receive the update in Europe.

Unlike Huawei smartphones, Honor handsets are getting Magic UI 3.1 update, instead of EMUI 10.1. Anyway, both are identical except for some minor features here and there.

That said, Magic UI 3.1 update for Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro users in Europe comes with build number 10.1.0.230 and weigh 4.63GB in size. It brings all the new features like Huawei Celia voice assistant, MeeTime video calling app, multi-screen collaboration, cross-device gallery, convenient multi-window, multi-device control panel, and lots more.

Currently, the update is being rolled out in a phased manner across different countries in Europe. If the brand gets positive feedback from the first batch of users, it will begin to seed the latest software update to more users gradually.

Huawei/Honor has been rolling out EMUI 10.1/Magic UI 3.1 to its device for about three months since its announcement alongside P40 series in late March. Earlier this month, the company managed to seed out the update (beta/stable) to all the eligible 36 devices in China. Now, it is rolling out ‘Knuckle Gesture’ support to certain five handsets, which were promised to get this update at the Honor X10 launch.

The Knuckle gestures have been part of Huawei smartphone experience for years. It was mostly available on high-end devices in the earlier days. But soon, it made its way to mid-range phones and then disappeared for a short period of time on these handsets.

However, now with the release of EMUI 10.1/Magic UI 3.1, the Chinese tech giant is bringing this feature to most of its devices. It has been adding this to a number of devices since the past few months. Now, five more phones are receiving it in China as per a post by EMUI official Weibo account.

The Huawei/Honor handsets that are currently getting knuckle gestures in China are as listed below.

• Huawei Nova 5
• Huawei Nova 5z
• Huawei Nova 5i Pro
• Honor 20S
• Honor 20 Youth Edition (Lite)

Though none of the global version of these devices is eligible for EMUI 10.1/Magic UI 3.1 update, we can at least hope the company to bring knuckle gestures.

Huawei has been rolling out EMUI 10.1 ever since the company announced it alongside P40 series. Initially, it was available as closed beta releases in China. Soon, the company began to roll out open beta as well as stable builds in its home country. Now, according to EMUI official Weibo account, Huawei has successfully rolled out EMUI 10.1 to 36 devices.

The 36 devices that have received EMUI 10.1 include Honor-branded smartphones as well. Also, it is worth noting that not all the devices have received stable build as some of them are still limited to public beta. 

For instance, Nova 5i Pro, Nova 5, Nova 5z, Enjoy 10S, and Honor 20S have just started receiving open beta builds today.

Further, Honor devices are receiving Magic UI 3.1, which is a fork of EMUI 10.1 with some minor tweaks. Anyway, it took the company two months to roll out the update to 36 devices. 

To be fair, Huawei’s performance is much better than Oppo, which is yet to release ColorOS 7 to all of its device in China, let alone international markets.

Having said that, only a few devices have received the EMUI 10.1 update globally and the company is yet to reveal its rollout plan for international markets clearly.

Honor launched the Honor 10X with 5G connectivity in China earlier today for a starting price of 1,899 Yuan ($268). The handset runs Magic UI 3.1, a fork of EMUI 10.1 like other recently launched Honor smartphones. The company is set to deliver its new mobile software to older handsets. Hence, at the event, it also announced the complete list of supported/eligible devices that will be receiving the Magic UI 3.1 update.

Magic UI 3.1 is similar to EMUI 10.1 in all means possible. There’s no major difference between them except for few tweaks here and there. Honor has been seeding out beta builds for eligible devices for over a month now.

Last week, the brand even rolled out the first Magic UI 3.1 Public Beta (Open Beta) build for its phones like Honor 20, Honor 20 Pro, Honor V20, and Honor Magic 2. However,  the Honor 9X series received EMUI 10.1 just like during Closed Beta releases.

But now, the company has confirmed that even Honor 9X and 9X Pro will be receiving Magic UI 3.1. We think the system will be updated in the next  Open Beta build followed by a stable release for the public.

That being said, here’s the final list of Honor devices that are confirmed to receive the Magic UI 3.1 update in China.

Magic UI 3.1 Supported / Eligible Devices

It comes pre-installed on the new devices, however, several old devices are also guaranteed to receive them. The first batch of handsets has already received a closed beta build.

  • Huawei Nova 5 Pro
  • Huawei Nova 5i Pro

Since EMUI on Honor devices is known as MagicUI, the Honor 20S is actually receiving MagicUI 3.1, which is nothing but a rebranded EMUI 10.1.

Huawei released EMUI 10 based on Android 10 soon after Google officially released the latter. The Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro were the first devices to come with this software out of the box late last year.

Then in late March 2020, Huawei unveiled the P40, P40 Pro, and P40 Pro Plus with EMUI 10.1 on board. The new iteration of EMUI brings Huawei’s own AI voice assistant called Celia, new multi-window functionality, MeeTime video calling app, new AODs, and more.
