It’s the second week of February 2024 and Huawei has published the details of a new EMUI security patch. While the company is still serving the January 2024 firmware to its flagship phones, a new security patch is ready with a bunch of fixes.

Meanwhile, smartphone users are eyeing another major upgrade: EMUI 14. Several device owners expected to see the official EMUI 14 rollout plan with the onset of this month. However, the tech giant has just kept this matter to one side.

On the other hand, EMUI 13 reach is still limited to a small number of devices. This further creates a buzz among users about whether their phones are eligible for the ultimate version. Inputs predict the official EMUI 14 rollout in Q1 2024. But we can only anticipate things for the moment.
