Huawei P50 Pro to come with EMUI 12, not HarmonyOS
Huawei P50 Pro will soon launch in the global market and it’s likely that the phone could pack with EMUI 12 software system, which is initially designed with HarmonyOS operating system for Chinese consumers.
The global version of Huawei P50 Pro is likely to feature EMUI 12 as the main software. This new EMUI version comes with new features and enhances the user experience as compared to the previous version of the software.
The user interface is identical to HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system but the main difference sits above in terms of features such as Super Device, service center, atomic service, snippets, and more.
However, the lack of these features in EMUI 12 will not compromise your user experience because the new control panel is part of this new software version and will bring a range of different capabilities.

HarmonyOS
Huawei P50 Pro was launched with HarmonyOS 2.0 operating system and is currently in sale in China, the operating system is designed for the era of the internet of everything. Due to its muti-kernel capabilities, HarmonyOS can seamlessly connect with other HarmonyOS powered devices and perform cross-platform features with ease.
Huawei P50 Pro features:
Huawei P50 Pro equips a 6.6-inch OLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate, 1440 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and 300 Hz touch sampling rate for a highly interactive touch screen as well as touch sensitivity with a high-quality resolution of 2700 x 1228 pixels and 450 PPI.
The phone is powered by Snapdragon 888 4G processor with an octa-core architecture 1 x Cortex-X1 at 2.84 GHz + 3 x Cortex-A78 at 2.42 GHz + 4 x Cortex-A55 at 1.8 GHz as well as Adreno 660 GPU. The phone is coupled with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
The rear camera of the phone has a 50MP true chroma camera, a 40MP MONO true chroma camera, 13MP ultra wide-angle camera, and a 64-megapixel telephoto camera. The front camera system of the phone consist of a 13MP selfie camera.

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.
