EMUI
So, Huawei has not yet started EMUI 13 beta
We all are looking forward to EMUI 13 but Huawei has not started testing the software under the Beta program. Meanwhile, we’ve already entered November and it’s time that Huawei blesses us with new software.
It was November 9, when Huawei began EMUI 12 beta run for global smartphone users. The company first appointed Mate 40, P40, and Mate 30 Pro devices for the test. Later on, the program expanded to more models such as P30 and Mate 20.
Surprisingly, we’ve already passed 1 year since that happened and EMUI 13 has now been listed. Yet, there’s no showcase of progress for the test or roadmap at the moment.
Aside from these, the Chinese tech maker is launching Huawei Mate 50 Pro in different countries that come with pre-packed EMUI 13 software. On the flip side, if Huawei starts a new beta activity, then Huawei P50 and Mate 40 Pro will be the first beneficiary to get the EMUI 13. Followed by P40 and Mate 30 devices.
If you have any of these devices, then we suggest you download and install the Beta app. Then start searching for Beta firmware, the process is simple and easy to understand.
To be mentioned, Huawei has not said any official remark on upgrading past devices with this new EMUI. Although, it’s inevitable but users should know what is coming their way.
Because Huawei has already wrapped up Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) 2022 and there was no promotion for EMUI 13. Instead, the company chose to remain focused on the HarmonyOS operating system and unveiled related technologies.
EMUI 13:
This EMUI version comes with new smart folders and a new version of large folders with various layouts. On the other hand, there is new smart widget management to stack or group widgets on the home screen.
Furthermore, Huawei has improved the performance of smartphones as compared to EMUI 12. There’s a lot to explore in this software, check them below.
EMUI 13 Features: Super Device, App Gestures, Widgets, SuperStorage and more
Huawei is rolling out a brand new software update for the Huawei Nova 9 smartphone and it comes with EMUI 12.0.1.276 version. Don’t forget that it is a global model and the company has loaded the changelog with new improvements and optimizations.
EMUI 12.0.1.276 brings new optimizations for display, which resolves uncertain behavior and improves the phone screen’s efficiency. Huawei is also improving Huawei Nova 9’s network quality in certain situations, resolving son known issues to provide an uninterrupted user experience.
Also, Huawei is removing the pre-installed Link Now app, which the company has discontinued last year. Link Now was an online collaboration platform with services such as instant messaging, video conferencing, and online learning. You can choose different services on different occasions for better productivity at your work and study.
Lastly, Huawei is installing fresh system stability improvements for better smartphone performance. Notably, the EMUI 12.0.1.276 software update for Huawei Nova 9 comes with a 1.85 GB package size. This is big enough and surely brings changes to the system’s performance.
You should know that this upgrade is rolling out in batches and we suggest you get the OTA as soon as it arrives on the notifications panel.
EMUI 13:
Amid this release, Huawei Nova 9 users are also concerned about the EMUI 13 upgrade. This is quite a reasonable question and Huawei Nova 9 is a worthy phone to receive the next generation of EMUI software.
Speaking of which, the company is currently testing EMUI 13 on top flagships – P50 series, P50 Pocket, and Mate Xs 2 smartphones. However, the availability is limited to a few markets/regions. We hope that Huawei Nova 9 will soon get a slot to test the new EMUI version.
Huawei Nova 9:
This phone packs a 6.57-inch screen, 1.07 billion colors, an OLED panel, and up to 120Hz of refresh rate. It is powered by Snapdragon 778G chip and equips a 50MP quad rear camera system.

EMUI 13 beta kicked off for global users and it’s quite exciting but the roadmap of eligible Huawei devices is still awaited. While there’s no official news available on this matter.
In 2021, Huawei released EMUI 12 roadmap during the Asia pacific launch event but this year, there are no such plans revealed. Instead of the roadmap, Huawei opened the EMUI 13 beta for all Huawei P50, P50 Pro, P50 Pocket, and Mate Xs 2 foldable phones.
Unfortunately, the program is open for the Asia region but more users want to join the beta activity. Especially the European models are waiting for term to dive into the testing pool.
Despite the delay, we hope that the oldest set of devices may also get a slot into this EMUI 13 release program.
In the meantime, if you have a flagship phone, tune into the Beta app. From here open the “Me” section and then search for a new EMUI 13 beta project.
You need to sign up for the beta application and wait for the submission. Once submitted, you will be notified to download the OTA update package.
If the activity is not available on your phone, don’t worry, you will see the project after the beta opens in your country. Yet, we also suggest you keep an eye on the Beta application.
EMUI 13 Features:
EMUI 13 focuses on reinventing EMUI 12, this includes better security and privacy. This new software can review all of the data safety measures thanks to the new privacy center.
It has new options to allow or revoke permission, check the timeline for all of the user permission, and so on. You can also set new image privacy to hide the image meta information.
EMUI 13 also plays well around the user interface and there are many improvements made to features such as large folders and service widgets.
