Confirmed: Honor Play not getting EMUI 10/Android 10 [Updated: May get]

[Update: Honor Play ma get the EMUI 10 software update, it is not final yet. Read here more.]

There’s sad news coming for Honor Play users, who are eagerly waiting for the EMUI 10/Andorid 10 update because the company has now confirmed that this smartphone will not receive the latest EMUI update.

“We regret to inform you that EMUI 10.0 / Android Q will not be available for your device due to hardware limitations as it requires higher hardware specifications for optimal performance. We appreciate your understanding and patience” said the company.

For us, this reason doesn’t make sense because the Honor Play comes with heavy specs including a good hardware support.

Honor Play is powered by the Kirin 970 – the same processor as the Honor 10 and Huawei P20 series. It has 4/6GB of RAM, a 64GB of storage, support expandable storage by MicroSD (up to 256GB), and a 3,750 mAh battery. It has the 6.3-inch, 19.5:9 display with really impressive viewing angles.

To be noted that, Honor Play has almost the same specs as Huawei P20, which is already confirmed by Huawei for EMUI 10 or Android Q update.

Another remarkable thing is that Honor Play was launched after Huawei P20 Pro. Both of the smartphones featured Android 8.1 or EMUI 8.2 at the time of launch. At present, Honor Play upgraded to EMUI 9.1 based on Android 9 Pie.

Something similar was found in the case of Honor 10 that was introduced by the company on May 2018 with Android 8.1 and is identical as Honor Play.

The previous time we contacted the company, they replied that the phone is under evaluation process to check the eligibility for this update but now they’ve put the Honor Play out of the league.

We’ll continue to track this story to keep you informed.

Huawei EMUI 13

EMUI 13 beta kicked off for global users and it’s quite exciting but the roadmap of eligible Huawei devices is still awaited. While there’s no official news available on this matter.

In 2021, Huawei released EMUI 12 roadmap during the Asia pacific launch event but this year, there are no such plans revealed. Instead of the roadmap, Huawei opened the EMUI 13 beta for all Huawei P50, P50 Pro, P50 Pocket, and Mate Xs 2 foldable phones.

Unfortunately, the program is open for the Asia region but more users want to join the beta activity. Especially the European models are waiting for term to dive into the testing pool.

Despite the delay, we hope that the oldest set of devices may also get a slot into this EMUI 13 release program.

In the meantime, if you have a flagship phone, tune into the Beta app. From here open the “Me” section and then search for a new EMUI 13 beta project.

You need to sign up for the beta application and wait for the submission. Once submitted, you will be notified to download the OTA update package.

If the activity is not available on your phone, don’t worry, you will see the project after the beta opens in your country. Yet, we also suggest you keep an eye on the Beta application.

EMUI 13 Features:

EMUI 13 focuses on reinventing EMUI 12, this includes better security and privacy. This new software can review all of the data safety measures thanks to the new privacy center.

It has new options to allow or revoke permission, check the timeline for all of the user permission, and so on. You can also set new image privacy to hide the image meta information.

EMUI 13 also plays well around the user interface and there are many improvements made to features such as large folders and service widgets.
