Since the US sanctions in 2019, there has been a lot of uncertainty about the rollout of future Android updates for Huawei smartphones. However, there are now rumors going around that speak of an Android 11 update for the Huawei P30 and the P30 Pro.
Because Huawei has been blacklisted by the US government, the Chinese manufacturer is no longer allowed to collaborate with Google. As a result, Huawei is currently unable to market new Android smartphones that use Google services. The future of Android updates for existing smartphones also does not look bright, because people outside China attach great importance to applications such as Gmail, Maps and YouTube. The absence of these Google services in future Android updates will not be appreciated by users.
However, Huawei is still working on Android updates. Huawei previously indicated that the manufacturer will continue to work on security updates and customer service for existing Android smartphones. The manufacturer also indicated that the Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro will receive an Android 10 update. However, according to the German website SmartDroid, Huawei will also roll out an Android 11 update.
Following an earlier message about the P30 series, a Huawei PR employee reportedly contacted the website. This employee indicated that the Huawei P30 will be updated to Android 11. This is remarkable since Huawei has been working on its own operating system Harmony OS 2.0 for some time. However, this operating system is based on Android 10. Information about Huawei and Android 11 has not surfaced before. We therefore wonder whether Huawei has indeed been working hard behind the scenes on an Android 11 update or whether this message may be incorrect.
