Huawei is currently rolling out EMUI 10.1 to its smartphones and tablets worldwide. But behind the scenes, the company has been working on EMUI 11 for a few months now. The new version of the firm’s mobile software is confirmed to release in Q3 and could be showcased at IFA 2020. Ahead of it, some of its features have been tipped by a leakster.
EMUI (Magic UI for Honor) is the heart of Huawei Android devices – smartphones and tablets. Heavily inspired by Apple’s iOS, the Chinese telecom giant created an ecosystem of its own with features such as HUAWEI Share, HUAWEI Multi-Screen Collaboration, and more.
With the upcoming EMUI 11, the company is reported to lay the foundation for distributed technology. But it will continue to use Android as the base (Android 11 to be exact) with improved HMS (Huawei Mobile Services) and not HarmonyOS as rumored.
Yesterday, 长安数码君 (Changan Digital King) on Weibo revealed more features of EMU 11. According to him, it will come with a revamped AOD (Always-on) in the design department. For productivity, it is said to feature new smart split-screen and “comprehensive translation services”. We are not sure what the tipster means by the latter part.
Anyway, according to a previous report, only HUAWEI Mate40 Pro will ship with EMUI 11, whereas the regular HUAWEI Mate40 will debut with EMUI 10.x (could be EMUI 10.1). However, the company will update its older devices in the coming months like the previous iterations of the software but don’t expect all the devices to get it.
Since Google is reported to officially release Android 11 on September 8, Huawei may also open registrations for Closed Beta at around the same time or later.
