To grab it, the corresponding smartphone owners are required to download the software package size of 4.40 Gigabytes. As usual, the update is gradually expanding among the P20 consumers and may take some time to cover all.

It is really an enjoyable moment for the old-flagship P20 lineup and also a new beginning for the device. Meanwhile, the non-beta testers have to wait until the stable release to get their hands on the latest custom OS skin.
