At the beginning of April of this year, Huawei shared an updated schedule for the EMUI10 update for devices sold unlocked in Europe. According to this original schedule, Kirin 970 devices, such as the Mate 10 or the P20 series, were supposed to receive the update by May 2020, with more recent models, such as the Mate 20 or the P30 series, having already received said update. However, it appears the manufacturer has decided, for whichever reason, to delay the update for these Kirin 970 devices, with the new date now set to mid-June 2020. This new schedule was initially made available at the end of April, although only shared a few days ago with community members.

Here’s this new schedule, with the bold part corresponding to the device and its (name), the new scheduled date for the roll-out of the update, and the status, with “Delivered” meaning all users should have received it, “Currently being delivered” being that users are still receiving it and “To be shipped” that the update will be rolled-out during the month specified:

As per usual, updates come in batches, with each user receiving it at a different time. This schedule only applies to unlocked devices, with devices locked to a specific network relying on their carriers, which, in many cases, delay the arrival of the updates, as they have to make sure they are compatible with their customizations, such as the carrier apps.

This new schedule also provides a clearer date for EMUI10 on the P30 Lite (New Edition), device which came out at the beginning of this year. According to this new schedule, the device should be getting EMUI10 at the end of this month, although the update has yet to be pushed out.
