Huawei, Honor phones will get Android Q with EMUI 10
Notably, Huawei will roll out Android Q with its next iteration of EMUI, the company's native skin. Considering that the latest phones ship with Android Pie-based EMUI 9, we can expect the Android Q-based update to be called as EMUI 10.
Huawei is likely to announce the new EMUI version at its annual developer conference which will be hosted in China from August 9-11.
New OS

Until now, Google has released five beta versions of Android Q which bring better privacy and permissions controls, improved sharing shortcuts, support for foldable devices, and several tweaks to notifications panel.
Further, it will also include support for a Face ID-like facial recognition system, a built-in screen recorder, improved navigation gestures, system-wide dark mode, newer emojis, and a desktop mode.
