On October 9, 2019, Honor announced on Weibo the arrival of the EMUI 10 beta on four smartphones by the end of the month. As always, the beta program will initially be reserved for resident users in China before reaching other countries.
Not surprisingly, the beta opens first to the latest high-end devices of the subsidiary. The Honor 20, the Honor 20 Pro, the Honor View 20 and the Honor Magic 2. So far, Honor has managed to stick to the promises of its deployment schedule released in September. As a reminder, the final version for these 4 devices should be deployed in December.
From early November 2019, Honor will then deploy the beta on the Honor 10, Honor View 10 and Honor 8X. The final version is scheduled for the first months of 2020. The beta program for the Honor 9X and 9X Pro will open in December and it is not yet known when the deployment of EMUI 10 in the final version is planned on these two models.
