New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on June 23, 2020) follows:
Huawei wants you to treat Honor devices independent of the Chinese tech giant, but truth be told, the line between the two is as blurry as it can get. This is especially true when it comes to software experience and software updates.
Sure, Huawei did introduce Magic UI as an exclusive for Honor devices, but to date, some Honor smartphones are still receiving EMUI-based updates, the latest version arriving as EMUI 10.1, up from EMUI 10.0 that first brought Android 10 OS to eligible devices.
By the look of things, it seems the Magic UI skin is reserved for premium Honor devices while the rest are still stuck with EMUI updates. Regardless of the skin you get, though, the base OS is still Android.
Honor 9X Pro just updated to EMUI 10.1
The latest stable version is Android 10 and in this article, we keep track of all Honor smartphones that have received this version so far, be it with EMUI 10.0, Magic UI 3.0, or their newer iterations.
It’s worth noting that OS updates are rolled out gradually, so don’t be surprised if your device appears on this list yet you haven’t received the update. Without further ado, let’s dive in.
