To our delight, Huawei was quick to announce the first batch of phones to update the Android Q, most of which are kirin 980 models. Let's take a look.

P30/Mate20 series can be upgraded without kirin 970

Huawei announced that Mate20 series, P30 series and Honor V20 and Honor Magic2 will be the first Huawei phones to upgrade Android Q, while kirin 970 models such as P20 and nova4e are not on the list.

​

In addition, Huawei did not specify a specific time for the "first batch". Given that Google will officially launch an Android Q version to Pixel users and manufacturers this summer, Huawei's EMUI will take some time to customize, and it is expected that the above models will take slightly longer to update the Android Q than Pixel3.

According to the data, Android O (8.0 and 8.1) is the most widely used version in the world, with a total share of 28.3%. Android accounts for 19.2%. Currently, most of Huawei's mobile phones can be upgraded to Android P, including P20, P10, Nova3, Mate10, Mate9 and Honor 10/V10 series. However, due to the performance, it may be difficult for kirin 970 phones to be upgraded to Android Q.
