Huawei Mate 20 X Android Q update

  • Eligible for Android Q
  • Release date expected in Q3 or Q4 2019

The Mate 20 line of flagship devices usually receives at least two major Android OS upgrades. With the Mate 20 X running Android 9 Pie out of the box, the first OS upgrade will be Android Q, whose first public beta is expected at the Google I/O 2019 event.

Huawei didn’t have any device participating in Android P beta. We hope this will change with Android Q, but even if it does, we can’t guarantee that the Mate 20 X will be part of the program, but a stable update should be out in Q3 or Q4 2019.
