Huawei and Honor smartphones will receive only a few features of Android 11 and will update to HarmonyOS

The company gave additional clarifications on this matter

At the Huawei Developer Conference 2020, the company unveiled EMUI 11 , the latest version of its mobile software. It also announced the launch of beta testing for several smartphone models.

These builds are reportedly based on Android 10, not Android 11 as expected. The company later provided further clarifications on this matter. The Chinese telecom giant first confirmed that some select Android 11 features will be included in EMUI 11. This means that the final version of EMUI 11 will likely remain based on Android 10, just like the beta versions.

Due to the US ban, Huawei was unable to partner with Google to develop its new software based on the latest version of Android. In a second statement, the company announced that devices running EMUI 11, which the company claims are based on distributed technology, could be upgraded to HarmonyOS in the future. However, this statement does not mention specific models that may be updated. It is also unknown if the HarmonyOS update will be forced or optional.
