This is a major development for the Huawei Nova 4 smartphone and the device owners will welcome this rollout as it brings loads of new features such as a Control Panel, a device center, better and smooth animations, and a new user interface that looks like the HarmonyOS operating system.
HarmonyOS:
The Chiense models of Huawei Nova 4 runs the HarmonyOS operation system and since then, these devices continue to get new system patches and improvement for better performance. However, the global devices have been waiting for the same treatment from the tech giant and EMUI 12 could be taken as a complimentary gift to that so-called wait.
How to check:
Huawei Nova 10 users can download the latest software update by visiting the Software update settings visiting System & updates > from here tap on the Software updates and then tap on CHECK FOR UPDATES. Afterward, the system will fetch information from the server and get down the firmware related to your Nova 4. On the other hand, you can also fetch this firmware from the My Huawei app, which you can use in the Update section to download and install the latest EMUI 12 version.
However, you can keep some precautions, since it’s a major software update, you can backup important files to prevent any unwanted deletion of important data. Hereafter you can also keep a sufficient amount of battery and space in your phone’s internal storage to store the update package.

Huawei has released the January 2023 software update for the Huawei Nova Y90 and Y70 smartphones in the global market, and this firmware clearly improves these phones’ security aspects for a better user experience.
Both Huawei Nova Y90 and Y70 runs EMUI 12 out of the box but it would be interesting if the company could have sent EMUI 13 instead of the security patch. Speaking of which, no one knows, when Huawei will rollout EMUI 13 for global users for the time being.
Coming back to the rollout, January 2023 security update for Huawei Nova Y90 and Nova Y70 comes with EMUI version 12.0.1.177 and EMUI 12.0.1.202. This update is suggested to install on all of the devices sold marketed outside of China and will appear in batches.
We suggest the corresponding users look into the settings > then open System & updates, followed by a Software update, and then tap on CHECK FOR UPDATES. You can download the latest firmware also from the My Huawei app.
You should know that the update won’t erase your personal data but it is suggested for you back up any important data before updating the device. On the other hand, the package will be deleted automatically once the installation succeeds.
