Huawei discreetly unveils EMUI 12, the new version of its software interface. An update that also looks a lot like its HarmonyOS 2 operating system.

If all eyes are on HarmonyOS 2, Huawei does not forget EMUI , the software interface that ruled its mobile devices until the arrival of its new OS. Very discreetly, the Chinese company announces the new EMUI 12 version for its Android smartphones.

EMUI in Harmony

This is a continuation of the latest versions of the interface. It is always more minimalist over the updates and, this year, Huawei even plays the card of realism on certain graphic elements, such as its clock and compass with 3D effect. In terms of animations, the interface intends to mimic the effects of gravity for navigation that Huawei wants “natural”. Finally, a bit like Oppo or OnePlus, EMUI 12 offers the possibility of modifying the size of the font according to your desires.

Overall, EMUI 12 is very similar to HarmonyOS 2, which we have already been able to try with the latest MatePad 11 tablet. This new version thus takes advantage of the new control panel available on the new OS. Thus, with a slide from the upper right corner, you will have access to all these quick settings (music, Bluetooth, wifi, etc.). A panel called Device+ appears and allows you to quickly connect to other devices in the Huawei ecosystem. It works almost like the Super Device widget present in HarmonyOS 2.

Another feature is also coming: MeeTime. It allows you to continue a video conversation on any device. So if you start a video on your smartphone, you can easily switch to a PC or even a Huawei TV at any time. The option also allows you to share your screen simply and quickly on a smartphone, tablet or computer. Finally, how to present an interface update without mentioning security? Huawei connected watches offer with EMUI 12 additional protection for access to your mobile.

At the moment, the new software interface has only been presented on the Huawei site, which does not mention any date of availability. The firm does not further specify the smartphone models on which EMUI 12 will be available. Knowing that HarmonyOS 2 was to be offered on nearly 60 models of the brand – again, without a date in the key – it only remains to see which of the new interface or the new OS will show up first.
