Huawei officially launches EMUI 9.0 beta for 9 phones

Huawei officially announced the launch of the beta program for EMUI 9.0, based on Android Pie. The company took it to Twitter to say which devices will be the first to receive an update to the latest version of the platform.

The list includes six Huawei and three Honor phones, all powered by the Kirin 970 chipset, since the Kirin 980-powered Mate 20 series smartphones already run the EMUI 9.0 out of the box. Here's the full list of first-wave phones:

• Huawei Mate 10
• Huawei Mate 10 Pro
• Huawei Mate 10 Porsche Design
• Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design
• Huawei P20
• Huawei P20 Pro
• Honor 10
• Honor View 10
• Honor Play

The early adopter list is limited to 5,000 users per phone. To join the program, you have to upgrade the Beta Tester app to its latest version 8.0.2.81. Once you’re in the team, tap Services and then Upgrade Early Adoption. The beta users are required to return some feedback about the new features and design.
