NOTICE: We’ve compiled a comprehensive Android 11 update tracker for all the major OEMs and carriers, and will be updating it continuously.
This story is being continuously updated…. New updates are being added at the bottom…..
Original story (published on September 09, 2020) follows:
Unlike previous years, Huawei did not participate in this year’s Android 11 developer preview program. We all know the reasons behind this and while we’ve heard before that EMUI 11 could be based on HarmonyOS, it looks like Android will still be the core OS.
Huawei will unveil EMUI 11 and Magic UI 4.0 updates at its Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) on September 10. The unannounced Huawei Mate 40 series is expected to come pre-installed with EMUI 11. Route here for details of when other OEMs release Android 11 updates.
As per the teaser below, it seems Huawei is lining up a fresh UI and plenty of new features as well. But the main agenda here seems like deeply integrating EMUI 11 devices into other ecosystems, probably IoT.
The software is expected to roll out to multiple Huawei devices in beta for testing purposes, although the initial rollout will be limited to China variants. Later on, those on the global variants will also get the nod.
Going by recent developments, EMUI 11 beta will be made available to Huawei P40, P40 Pro, P40 Pro+, Mate 30 4G/5G, Mate 30 Pro 4G/5G, Mate 30 RS Porsche Design, MatePad Pro, and MatePad Pro 5G first before other devices get it.
