Huawei Mate 20 Pro smartphone start receiving stable EMUI 11 update [UK]

After the launch of EMUI 11, Huawei has started the EMUI 11 beta testing program for its compatible device in home ground and further expand it to the global market. Afterward, the company started releasing stable EMUI 11 major upgrades.

Talking the Mate 20 smartphones, this old-generation lineup has been a part of the EMUI 11 program in China as well as global markets including Europe, Middle East, South East Asia, and more.

However, the Mate 20 Chinese variants already installed the stable EMUI 11 build and started experiencing new features. As the company’s promise the rollout for Mate 20 global variants will happen in the first quarter of 2021.

At the end of February 2021, Huawei has released EMUI 11 stable for Mate 20 users in the global market. At that time, the rollout is still in the early-stage so we expect it to expand in the coming weeks and cover more users around the globe.

Now, Huawei Mate 20 Pro smartphone users started receiving this major update, which brings new EMUI 11 features including always-on display, multiwindow mode, and more. (Check the full changelog listed below)
