A massive software update rolling out for Huawei P20 and P20 Pro with Smart Charge and Huawei Assistant

Huawei P20 and P20 Pro running EMUI 10, now receiving a new software that installs Huawei Assistant, Smart Charge mode, and security patches released in July 2020. The main focus on this matter lies in the massive 4.41GB update package size.

In the past, we’ve seen the rollout of a number of “huge” software updates for old Huawei and Honor smartphones. Notably, these updates include only a few new features and a monthly security patch and not the OS upgrade.

Last week, Huawei P20 and P20 Pro on EMUI 10 in Europe also received July 2020 security update but it didn’t includes Huawei Assistant and Smart Charge.
