Huawei’s latest phone for the Kenyan market, the Nova 5T was unveiled just a week ago, and has only gone on sale a couple of days ago. So if you’ve been wanting to get one but skeptical of the promise that Android 10 may not arrive soon, worry not because EMUI 10 update is currently rolling out to the device.
The Nova 5T is an upper midrange device with a high-end Kirin 980 and a Quad Camera setup at the back. Huawei has opted to bring in older devices that weren’t available in the Kenyan market as a way around the American ban. The device comes with all Google Services if that’s a concern of yours.
If you’re planning to get the device soon, or if you’ve already picked it up, check your HiCare app to update to EMUI 10. Here are the full specs of the device.
