After the US ban on Huawei, Google announced that it will halt its support for Huawei regarding the Android system update. Subsequently, the company expunged Huawei from the Android Q internal test list. However, the three months reprieval means that Huawei will temporarily get updates.
According to reliable sources, Huawei is currently testing EMUI 10 based on Android 10.0 system. In addition, the kernel can get a complete Google GMS suite. According to Italian media HDBlog report, Huawei is currently working on adapting the Android Q system for 11 models, as follows:
- Huawei P30 Pro
- Huawei P30
- Huawei P30 Lite
- Huawei Mate 20 Pro
- Huawei Mate 20
- Huawei Mate 20X 5G
- Huawei P Smart 2019
- Huawei P Smart+ 2019
- Huawei P Smart Z
- Huawei P20 Pro
- Huawei P20
Among them, the P30 Lite and P Smart series have different marketing names outside China. From the leaked P30 Pro EMUI internal test ROM experience, the UI change is not significant and the speed has been further improved.
However, the ultimatum time set by the US “entity list†to Huawei is August 19. On the other hand, Huawei’s independent HongMeng system is also accelerating its development. According to reports, it will be ready in a few months. As of now, we don’t know how Huawei will handle the relationship between Android and HongMeng. Last week, it was reported that Huawei could deploy it within 6 to 9 months.
The performance of the new system has been significantly improved. Early testers reported that the P30 Pro with EMUI 10 internal test version is much faster than the previous EMUI 9.1 (Android 9.0). However, it is still uncertain whether the speed is as a result of Huawei’s optimization or due to the Android Q itself
