Huawei is going through tough times but that did not stop the company from unveiling EMUI 11, the latest version of its mobile software. The Chinese telecom giant announced it at the HUAWEI DEVELOPER CONFERENCE 2020 on September 10. Since then, it has been releasing beta as well as stable builds for eligible devices worldwide. Now, within three months from its announcement, the company has already hit a milestone.
According to the official Weibo account of EMUI, over 10 million users are on EMUI 11 in less than three months from the day of its unveiling. Since the company did not mention whether this count only includes those users who are on stable build, we believe this is the total count of stable, closed beta, and open beta users combined.
As per the official list of eligible devices, a total of 28 HUAWEI-branded smartphones and tablets will be receiving EMUI 11 update in China . For global markets, this number drops to 19. Some of these devices have already got the stable update.
Having said that, we are still puzzled if this 10 million+ count also includes HONOR devices running Magic UI 4.0, which is nothing but a fork of EMUI 11. That’s because EMUI’s Weibo post is vague without detailed information.
Normally, Huawei’s smartphone and tablet user base includes numbers from HONOR as well since it was a sub-brand of the company up until recently. But now, as the brand has been sold off to Zhixin New Information Technology Co. Ltd, the EMUI 11 user count shared by the Chinese tech giant could be devoid of HONOR devices.
