When will Huawei Nova 7i receive the Android 11 update?
We are certain that Huawei Nova 7i will get an Android 11-based EMUI 11 upgrade although the question is, when? Unfortunately, we don’t know when exactly to expect Android 11 on Huawei Nova 7i.

EMUI 11 Status
Talking about EMUI 11 status, the custom UI based on Android 11 is in the development. The thing is, Huawei has kept mum about the upcoming UI which has kept Huawei and Honor users on a constant tug of war about when exactly it will arrive and start rolling out to eligible devices. There is a report that states EMUI 11 could arrive at the HDC 2020 which is in lieu of last year’s EMUI 10 launch at the HDC 2019. Perhaps, this isn’t a nail in the coffin and changes are likely to happen through the weeks we have till it arrives.
