Why Huawei EMUI 12 is not using Android 12?
Last year, Google launched Android 12, the latest version of the Android operating system. Overall, it comes with various new features, and the Material Design got refreshed with the brand new Material You design library. There are also some changes that have been made in the performance and security side.
Following Android 12’s launch, there are many people that have asked for the base version of EMUI 12, Huawei’s new custom mobile software. According to some findings, it’s revealed that Huawei has chosen to keep this new EMUI version on Android 10. On the other hand, some consumers have concerns about why Huawei is not using the Android Open Source Project or the AOSP version of Android 12 to base EMUI 12.
For our beloved readers who don’t know, Huawei had to give up on Google services since May 2019 for new phones that launched after this timeline. Therefore, the new Huawei phone doesn’t come with pre-built Google apps.
So, why Huawei is not using Android 12 on EMUI 12? there are a few important aspects of this story that you should know about. Let’s dive in.
It might be using:
Currently, Huawei has not specified the Android version on the official EMUI 12 listing. Therefore, we can not confirm whether the EMUI 12 doesn’t have Android 12 but it has been verified by YouTubers and the tech community that this EMUI version still has Android 10 in its core.
WFA certificate
Before a smartphone maker begins an OTA rollout, it must have to gather some important certifications including the WiFi certificate to push an over-the-air update package. Following these events, Huawei had to give up its membership after U.S. sanctions but the partnership has been re-established later in the coming year.
However, the latest software update EMUI update is seemingly rolling out as a regular OTA, not as a major software update.
GMS:
Although, new Huawei smartphones cannot prove Google apps pre-build on their phone but the old ones still have Google’s GMS certificates. This means, the old phones launched before and including the Huawei P30 series still run Android apps natively.
It could be a matter that Huawei doesn’t want to touch any of the compatibility parts of the existing GMS services owners by installing the latest Android version, which is not officially supported by the phone maker.
Hence, the company is keeping it simple and providing a new look and feel for the consumers without sacrificing important services.
Shifting users on HarmonyOS:
Lastly, HarmonyOS. Yes, it’s a major topic of discussion and many users have been wondering when their devices will get a HarmonyOS upgrade? The answer is not known currently and officially. Still, we can expect that Huawei will plan to rollout the global version of HarmonyOS sooner or later. It might be the major concern why the Chinese tech maker has not been testing new Android versions since EMUI 10.0.

ChatGPT is a raging storm on the internet and everyone is talking about this AI-powered instant reply software but Huawei says, it has long mastered such technology.
A person in charge of Huawei’s computing product section said that Huawei began to have a layout in the large model in 2020. In the following year, Huawei launched Pengcheng Pangu, which is a super-large model and the first of its kind in the industry.
This model can generate 100 billion levels of processes and can generate responses or understand Chinese natural language processing as well as speech recognition.
To be mentioned, Pangu NLP large model was the world’s largest Chinese language pre-training model with 100 billion parameters at that time. The sample tuning of the data improves the application performance of the model in the scenario.
Patent:
Recently, two patents have surfaced on China’s intellectual property office, which reveal Huawei’s use of AI in instant reply software. However, we can say that Huawei has already applied a lot of AI software to human conversation technology, which was way ahead of ChatGPT. But Huawei has not revealed any plans to implement such tech in Huawei devices.
ChatGPT:
ChatGPT was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022, and quickly garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge. Its uneven factual accuracy, however, was identified as a significant drawback. Following the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s valuation was estimated at US$29 billion.

After the events of the U.S. ban, Huawei had to reduce its capacity of building new smartphones, which result in low yield and sales, and now, Xiaomi claims that it took over 50 million of Huawei’s users.
During the Xiaomi Investment Day, Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group said that Huawei has lost over 80 million smartphone users, of which, Xiaomi took over 50 million.
This is quite a big statement made by the head of the Chinese phone maker as Huawei was forced to leave the market due to the restrictions on manufacturing.
After not meeting the market requirements the share of Huawei’s smartphone market declined severely in both the Chinese and global markets. While other smartphone makers are the ones that got most of the benefits.
From the rest, Apple took over 20 million users and Honor grabbed 10 million, which accounts for an overall 80 million Huawei users.
According to the data revealed by Canalys, the global smartphone market ranked Samsung first and Apple second, which has increased by 22 percent and 19 percent respectively. While Xiaomi declined to 13 percent.
Aside from Apple and Samsung, other smartphone maker has declined. On this matter, Xiaomi’s president said that the decline in his firm is related to various reasons such as currency depreciation, chips from shortage to surplus, and intensified competition, the global mobile phone market will decline by 12% in 2022, of which the Chinese market will decline by 13%.
Why not?
It was an opportunity for all of the smartphone companies with an open opportunity to grab Huawei’s market share and it fell directly into their lap without doing anything.
