Huawei Mate 20X 5G EMUI 10.1 beta update rolling out

While Android 10’s market share keeps increasing with each new phone released, or older phone getting updated from previous builds of Android, many devices that are eligible for the update are yet to get updated.

That said, more devices are still scheduled to get the update to Android 10 within this second quarter 2020. However, there have been delays and mishaps, most of those attributed to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic.

Huawei, despite all odds, continues to chug on, striving to keep its software development moving. Recently, we got reports that Huawei had opened the Closed Beta recruitment for EMUI 10.1 for the Huawei Mate 20X (5G). You can read more about that here.

True to the company’s word, Huawei is rolling out the Android 10-based EMUI 10.1 beta update to Huawei Mate 20X 5G (EVR-AN00) devices. The beta update bears software version number 10.1.0.116 and brings a handful of improvements from the previous build. In the release notes, Huawei says that;

The new system version continues the design concept of EMUI 10.0 quality beauty, and at the same time brings you a newer interaction method and a richer functional scene experience based on distributed technology.

Huawei is also asking users of the Huawei Mate 20X 5G who signed up for the closed Beta, to ensure that they are running EMUI 10.0.0.185 before updating to this Beta build. This, the company says, is due to version restrictions.

For users who have received this update notification, it is safe to update to it from your current build as the company says you will not lose your data. However, to be safe, you might want to backup all your important data as sometimes, things do go sideways.
