Huawei Unveils Updated Phone Running Google’s Latest Software

Huawei announced an update to its P30 Pro smartphone and said it would run the latest version of Android software in some regions, according to Bloomberg.

It’s the company’s first major update to a flagship phone since the imposition of U.S. export restrictions, which forced them to slash projections for annual revenue at its consumer devices business by about $10 billion. Since the product is an update to an existing model, it may be able to ship with updated software from Google.

The phone will be available in two new colors when it goes on sale Sept. 20. But Huawei Consumer CEO Richard Yu didn’t say which territories would include the Android 10 operating system out of the box.

Yu made the announcement onstage at the start of the IFA conference in Berlin. A spokesman for the Chinese company said the updated P30 Pro would indeed run Android 10, but that the company will only reveal which specific regions can run the latest OS “in the coming days.“ Yu also said Huawei will unveil a new smartphone on Sept. 19 in Munich.
