Soon after the EMUI 11 announcement at the HDC 2020, the Chinese smartphone giant started recruiting the Huawei P40 and Mate 30 users for the EMUI 11 beta update. However, it was limited to the Chinese region only. Now, Huawei has expanded the EMUI 11 beta program outside of China, and Russia is the first country to get it. Users of Huawei P40, P40 Pro, P40 Pro+, and Mate 30 Pro are being recruited for the EMUI 11 beta testing in Russia.

Once the ROM is stable enough, more users will get a chance to experience the EMUI 11 under the open beta program. Soon, this will be followed by a stable release.
