Back in June, Huawei gave us hint regarding the next version of EMUI – EMUI 12. However, the reference was quite ambitious and later was removed from its origin of place but it has surely made us scratch our heads for a second.

The first question that we had, is how could the company launch a new EMUI version when it’s about to enter the HarmonyOS world? This question remained unanswered but there’s something interesting that has just appeared.

Huawei has launched the Nova 8 in Russia and the page listing of this phone reveals that to equip with “EMUI 12” as the operating system and there’s no mention of Android whatsoever.

Let’s first look at the Huawei Nova 8

Check info below this video

Last December, Huawei unveiled Huawei Nova 8 and Nova 8 Pro devices. The standard version comes with a 6.57-inch display, 90Hz refresh rate, Kirin 985 chip, 66W charging, 64MP quad rear camera, 32MP selfie camera, EMUI 11, and display fingerprint.

For your information, Huawei Nova 8 has already completed the HarmonyOS 2 stable upgrade in China. Yet, Huawei launching this phone with EMUI 12 label seems pretty odd, a software that is not announced.

Huawei Nova 8 Russia:

This new version is almost the same as its Chinese counterpart except it comes with the Kirin 820E processor (6-core, 3 × Cortex-A76 2.22 GHz + 3 × Cortex-A55 1.84 GH, Mali-G57) instead of a 7nm Kirin 985 chip with 5G access.

No promotion or feature details available:

However, our concentration lies on EMUI 12 and we also want to mention that there’s no reference to its features made on the official website. The phone’s listing shows to include AOD and AppGallery.

What is this?

Currently, we don’t have exact inputs on why Huawei has mentioned EMUI 12 in the official listing and what exactly this EMUI version is. We’ll surely get an answer soon and we’ll eagerly wait to see and inform you on this matter.

The latest software update for the Huawei Nova 5T has already reached different users around the globe. This update initially installed June 2021 security patch on Huawei Nova 5T models but now it’s tagging along with several other applications.

According to the information coming Huaweiblog, Huawei is now sending a new build for some of the Huawei Nova 5T. This update brings a mixture of new applications as well as two security patches.

The latest software update is expanding in Europe and it has multiple software packages inside the OTA update. The changelog reveals that the Huawei Nova 5T latest upgrade has EMUI 11 version 11.0.0.165 (C431E3R1P4) with a download packet size of 1.37GB.

Previous rollout and when it was started:

Last month, Huawei began to rollout the June 2021 software update for Huawei Nova 5T. However, this new update and package content are surely surprising.

Because the latest software brings “April 2021” security patch, which is already rolled out two months ago.

Also, the first software package consists of new applications – Pental Search, Reader, Pental Maps, Member Center, and Link Now. Some of these apps install alongside the update but some require manual installation by tapping on their icons.

This rollout could be designed for the users who’ve missed the recent changes made to the system and Huawei doesn’t want the users of Huawei Nova 5T to miss it out.

So, how can I update my Huawei Nova 5T?

You just need to follow these instructions to get the latest software update

• Open Settings
• Click on the System & Updates
• Open Software update
• Tap on Check for updates option
• If an update is available, click on Download and install
• After installation Reboot the device

Important Notes:

It’s recommended that you install this update with sufficient storage. Keep your device sufficiently charged and do not force shutdown your device while the update progress.

Huawei Nova 5T:

Huawei Nova 5T comes with a quad camera system including a 48 MP (f/1.8 aperture AF) + 16 M (f/2.2 aperture FF) + 2 M (f/2.4 aperture FF) + 2 M (f/2.4 aperture FF). For selfies, it has a 32Mp f/2.0 front camera.

The Nova 5T packs with a 3750mAh battery that recharges with a 22.5W charger, the phone is powered by a Kirin 980 processor for a fast and efficient user experience. From the software side, the Nova 5T comes with EMUI 9.1 out of the box. After two major rollouts, this phone now runs EMUI 11.

However, Nova 5T’s hardware is eligible to upgrade over HarmonyOS 2 operating system but Huawei has not announced any timeline or the rollout dates for the global markets.

On June 2, 2021, Huawei organized an event for the grand welcome of the HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system for smartphones. Since then, the HM OS has started making smartphones via OTA upgrades.

At the moment, all Huawei users are waiting to get their hands-on HarmonyOS and want to enjoy the new features as soon as possible. Currently, HarmonyOS 2.0 beta update rollout is limited to the Chinese variants and not available for global users.

HarmonyOS 2.0 brings a whole new user interface and features including a new home screen, service widgets, control panel, app guard, collaborative security, and more.

But only focusing on major software updates is good or sufficient for any smartphone. Well, the answer is absolutely not because software update brings security improvements, new features, improvements, and optimizations. which are essential for devices to give the best out of their hardware and software.

However, Huawei always tries to reach as many as users it can cover their devices with the latest software improvements according to their eligibility.

In a single month, Huawei releases many firmware updates along with EMUI upgraded versions for several devices. In this article, users will get full insights into all types of updates released by the company in July 2021.
