Honor 8X and Honor 10 will get EMUI 10 based on Android Q according to Honor India

-

The last two months since the executive order by the U.S. government have been full of suspense and dilemma for users who own or wish to buy Android devices made by Huawei and Honor. While Huawei has reportedly been working on a homegrown alternative to Android, the development of EMUI 10 based on Android Q appears to be going on with full swing too. Back in June, we saw the first preview of Android Q running on the Huawei P30 Pro and even saw Huawei’s optimism about rolling out Android Q update, in spite of the hurdles by the U.S. government, for at least 15 Huawei devices. For Honor, however, there has been no such assurances yet except for the Honor 20/20 Pro. But as per the company’s Twitter handle, Android Q is already under consideration for the Honor 8X and the Honor 10.

The Honor 10 was launched last summer with EMUI 8.1 based on Android 8.1 Oreo and eventually updated to EMUI 9.0 based on Android 9 Pie last year itself. The Honor 8X ran a slightly refined UI out-of-the-box with EMUI 8.2 based on Android 8.1 Oreo when it arrived in fall last year but got an update to Android Pie only in March this year.

Now, as per the official Twitter account of Honor India, the development for EMUI 10 based on Android Q is already under development for both – the Honor 10 and the Honor 8X. On the other hand, we don’t see any assurance about Android Q update for other popular devices including the Honor Play, Honor V20/View20, etc.

Notably, the company did announce that most of these devices will receive EMUI 9.1 (or Magic 2.1) update which brings subtle UI and performance improvements over the earlier Android Pie build. Honor India did not share any information about a tentative date for the update in either of the case so we’ll have to wait for another announcement in this respect.

In the meantime, the Honor 7X from 2017 may finally start receiving Android Pie update by the end of this month. The company started recruiting beta testers in India in May after showing signs of hesitation but there has been no information about the update since then.

If you’re excited about the update, you may also take a look at our hands-on of EMUI 10 based on Android Q. This build runs on the P30 Pro but it can be expected to look and work similarly.

Note: Huawei has stopped providing official bootloader unlock codes for its devices. Therefore, the bootloaders of their devices cannot be unlocked, which means that users cannot root or install custom ROMs.

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-

Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual
