Global Huawei P50 Pro is receiving first EMUI 12.0.1.196 software update
The global version of Huawei P50 Pro is receiving the first software update with EMUI 12 version 12.0.1.196. This software update marks the first software improvements for this new flagship that has long been awaited by the consumers in the overseas markets.
According to the changelog, the global Huawei P50 Pro EMUI 12.0.1.196 software update comes with system stability improvements in some situations to smoothly run your device in certain situations. Compared to a tiny changelog, this update has a giant size of 1 GB, which seemingly contains some fixes for the device.
That’s not it, this software update is followed by a new software patch that comes with 10MB size, no software version, and similar system improvements to smooth Huawei P50 Pro’s software performance.
For your information, the global units of the Huawei P50 Pro run EMUI 12 software, which is the latest installment of the EMUI series. On the other hand, the Chinese variants have HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system, which is designed and developed by Huawei and maintained as open source software by OpenAtom foundation.
The features of these two software are different but the user interface is nearly identical in both EMUI 12 and HarmonyOS 2.0. So, there are minimized chances that you would feel any change in user experience if you switch back and forth.

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.
