We have been talking about Android 10 updates for a long time now, but there are still a lot of phones from various OEMs like Huawei, Xiaomi, etc. that are waiting for the updates.

The current COVID-19 pandemic scenario is also a big factor in the delay of the updates. However, in the recent past, OEMs have put the pedal to the metal in delivering the Android 10 updates for their compatible phones.

In line with this, as per the latest official post by Huawei on their Chinese community website, the EMUI 10.1 closed beta recruitment is now live for the users of the Huawei Mate 20X (5G) in China.
