[Unlocked UK] Huawei P30 Pro started receiving EMUI 10.1

It seems like the EMUI 10.1 is officially landed in the UK but Huawei has decided to give this update first for the unlocked models of Huawei P30 Pro. Since mobile carriers have a different process to check the firmware package, the update time will be different for the branded (locked) devices.

However, according to the EMUI 10.1 rollout plan for the UK, Huawei P30 series is scheduled to receive EMUI 10.1 in June via all major carriers.

The EMUI 10.1 for Huawei P30 series brings new Fingerprint animations, colorful AOD, multi-window multitasking, Multi-device collaboration, multi-device browsing, Huawei assistant and more. (Full changelog detailed below)
