[Widescale rollout] Huawei Nova 5T EMUI 10 (Android 10) update goes live in Europe

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on November 18, 2019) follows:

The stable version of Android 10 was officially released on September 3, 2019. It has since been slowly rolling out to various devices. More and more phone makers are testing out their builds and are running beta Programs for the same.

One such OEM that has been actively testing its skinned version of Android 10 is Huawei. EMUI 10 beta has been undergoing testing for a while now. Moreover, some flagship models are already getting the stable update across the globe.

Another device that has been confirmed to be getting Android 10 is the Nova 5T. The device isn’t part of the beta in some countries, but is eligible for Android 10-based EMUI 10.

This announcement did elicit a lot of excitement from Nova 5T owners. To add to that excitement, it looks like the final version is now rolling out is Europe. Many Nova 5T users across Europe have reported receiving an OTA that updates their device to EMUI 10.

The Android 10 based EMUI 10 update has build number 10.0.0.168. It weighs in at a rather hefty 4.52 GB. This is not uncommon for major OS updates. Also interesting to note is that, the update has exactly the same ending as the EMUI 10 updates of the P30 and Mate 20 series.

Huawei Nova 5T

The Nova 5T has been a pretty well-updated device in the past. In late October, Nova 5T got the September security patch in Europe. A limited beta test for Android 10 was also available.

In terms of specs, it features a 6.26″ IPS LCD display, Huawei’s own HiSilicon Kirin 980 chipset and is powered by a rather respectable 3,750 mAh battery. The phone comes with 128 GB of internal storage.

The other headlining feature is the camera. The front Camera is a 32 MP high-resolution lens. It spots a quad-camera arrangement. These include a main rear camera with 48 MP high-resolution lens + 16 MP ultra wide-angle lens + 2 MP bokeh lens + 2 MP macro lens.

Huawei is now rolling out the Nova 5T EMUI 10 stable update widely, with more users across Europe and Australia receiving the Android 10-based OTA. Details here.
