The global version of the new Huawei firmware EMUI 10.1 should reach the P30, Mate 30, Mate 20, Mate Xs, Honor 20, Honor V20, Honor View20 and Honor V30 Pro.
Last March Huawei launched the new high-end P40 series with EMUI 10.1 at its core. This version of the operating system was later released as part of a closed beta program on some of the manufacturer’s devices.
Then last week both the P30 and P30 Pro received an open beta, and now those devices finally receive the stable version of the firmware. It should be noted that both phones are not the only ones receiving the update, but also the new MatePad Pro.
As expected, China was the first country to obtain a stable version of EMUI 10.1 for the aforementioned teams, but it has been confirmed that in the coming months said update will be released in other regions, although the manufacturer has not revealed an estimated date of when it will happen.
Among the novelties of the new version of EMUI is a control panel for several devices, that is, a multi-device control center, which allows you to quickly connect to other devices and control household appliances.
Likewise, the MeeTime video calling application, the video app, the voice assistant Celia, are also included in EMUI 10.1. The global version of this new firmware should reach the P30, Mate 30, Mate 20, Mate Xs, Honor 20, Honor V20, Honor View20 and Honor V30 Pro .
