Huawei, Honor Android 11 Firmware: EMUI 11, Magic UI 4.0 Update List!

Google has recently released the stable Android 11 update for all Pixel devices that support it, as well as some other companies phones that support the beta program. With the release of stable version nearing, most Huawei and Honor device users are wondering if they will get the upcoming Android R OS or not. So, today we will talk in some detail about the Android 11 update, along with the EMUI 11 for Huawei devices, as well as the Magic UI 4.0 for Honor devices.

Unlike previous years, Huawei has unfortunately not joined Android 11 developer beta program. Of course we all have expected this due to the current problem with American companies, including Google, and there are some reports that indicated that the next OS will come based on the new HarmonyOS of the Chinese company, but it seems that it will still update its previous devices and also launch its next ones running Android OS.

Android 11 update for Huawei, Honor

If we look at the previous official number from Huawei itself, and compare it with its phones that it sold during the past two years, you will notice that there is a big difference, and therefore there are hundreds of thousands of devices of the Chinese company that have not yet been updated to latest OS, or will not be updated permanently.

Android 11 arrival date

Initially, the company, as usual, will announce the beta program for the new OS, and then the stable version in October or November. Which means that we have a few days before we get our hands on the upcoming Huawei device update alongside the Android 11 OS.

The next update is expected to arrive for several different phones for the purpose of betas and tests before the official launch, although these beta versions are usually available for the Chinese versions of Huawei phones only, not the global ones. Then after that, users of other versions in the rest of the world can try the new UI update.

Who Will Get EMUI 11 First?

Given the recent news about the upcoming Huawei EMUI 11 update, it seems that the company intends to launch the new update first for Huawei P40, P40 +, P40 Pro devices, as well as Mate 30, Mate 30 Pro, in addition to the Mate 30 Porsche Design . In addition to the above, MatePad Pro tablet is also available.

If you don’t remember, Huawei unveiled the EMUI 10 update for the first time at HDC 2019 conference last August, surpassing the previous version of its EMUI 9.0 that came alongside the Android Pie OS at the time. In the same event, Honor also announced the Magic UI 3.0 update, in fact there were no radical differences between the two versions, except that the latter was intended for Honor devices only. Huawei took almost two months of testing before it finally launched the stable Android 10 update for its devices, starting with the Huawei P30/P30 Pro.

Not long ago, Honor also announced the Magic UI 3.0 update for its devices, starting with the Honor 20/20 Pro/View 20 series, which also came alongside Google’s latest Android 10. As of the time of writing these words, Huawei officially stated that the latest EMUI 10 OS is works on more than 50 million smartphones around the world.

EMUI 11 features

• New icon designs for official apps
• The ability to record a video of the screen within the settings
• The ability to disable all notifications while the video is playing
• Touch sensitivity increased
• The possibility of having a history of notifications to return to it at any time (such as the history of the browser)
• Automatically disable app permissions when not in use (Android 11 key feature)
• Lots of improvements in privacy
• Improved night mode
• Enhanced game mode (called GPU Turbo)
• Improve the experience of navigation with swipe and gestures

In fact, most of these rumors are based mainly on following up Huawei’s policy of updating its phones in the past years, especially EMUI 10 release dates for these phones, and determining who will get EMUI 11 update until when it will get it, approximately. Most recently, this list will receive Android 11 update based on this knowledge. But of course, he expected to change in the coming period.
