Huawei‘s Consumer Business Software Department president Dr Wang Chenglu earlier this month confirmed that the EMUI 11 will launch in the third quarter of 2020. However, the exec left off without revealing specific features we should look forward to having onboard the next-gen custom ROM. Dr Wang only hinted that EMUI 11 will be based on Distributed technology which would bring improvement to the app performance and user experience.
Huawei Central has published more details of the new Distributed technology which Huawei is expected to unveil with the upcoming custom ROM. The technology will bring smart features and connectivity to apps. The features will also form part of Huawei’s All Scenario experience.
Distributed technology allows users to conduct HD video calls among multiple devices. Users can make audio and video calls whenever and wherever they are. If there is an incoming call, users can choose to answer using a smart speaker.
Or if it is a video call, they can answer through a TV, vehicle-mounted device, or even send a real-time video feed from a drone so that friends and family can also enjoy the beautiful scenery.
At work, a smartphone and computer can share screens so that data can be exchanged easily through drag-and-drop.
The main purpose of distributed technology is to utilize the hardware capabilities such as display, camera, microphone, or speaker of each device. Then allowing users to use these capabilities across different devices providing seamless connectivity.
In addition, Huawei Central says the new EMUI 11 will be based on Android 11 and not HarmonyOS since the company is putting huge efforts in growing its Google Mobile Service alternative – Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) ecosystem. However, there may likely be some HarmonyOS inherited features on the new ROM.
Huawei is expected to take the wraps off the new OS at the Huawei Developer Conference 2020 (HDC 2020) coming up in August or September. The company is also expected to unveil a new version of HarmonyOS for more platforms.
