Huawei officially announce EMUI 12 beta kickoff in Russia
Huawei has officially announced EMUI 12 beta kick-off for global consumers. According to our information, Russia is the first country to receive EMUI 12 beta application for the eligible devices and it’s the first market to announce this testing activity formally.
Huawei Russia has now announced the EMUI 12 beta through its official channels. However, the beta is only available for the P40 series. Unlike any other eligible market, Russian consumers must have had to register their interest in beta using an online form.
The approval will be based on the IMEI number of devices that are required in the approval process. The company has also shared a list of models and required EMUI 11 versions in order to participate in the beta program.
Editor’s Pick – How to join EMUI 12 beta [Step by Step]
EMUI 12 Beta support Models:
- Huawei P40 (ANA) – EMUI 11.0.0.227/230 (ANA-N29)
- Huawei P40 Pro (ELS) – EMUI 11.0.0.230/236 (ELS-N29)
- Huawei P40 Pro+ (ELS) – EMUI 11.0.0.220/222 (ELS-N39)
Before you sign for the EMUI 12 beta, you should note that the beta software build may contain bugs and issues. Moreover, you can only roll back to the previous EMUI version once the testing concludes. If you are unaware of the changes then we recommend you not participate in the beta activity.
However, this “No Rollback” situation is exclusive to Russian users because they aren’t participating through the Huawei Beta app. Therefore, global consumers will be able to roll back even after upgrading to the latest EMUI 12 beta.
If you live in Russia and want to participate in the beta program, then follow the instructions below.
- First, you need to get your device’s serial number. To find out the serial number of your device, dial *#06#, SN is the serial number.
- Then jump to the SurveyMonkey registration form (here’s the link)
- Follow the on-screen instruction and proceed along.
EMUI 12:
EMUI 12 comes with lots of new features and changes in the design department including a new UI/UX user experience that matches perfectly with your eligible device and makes your phone run faster.
The latest EMUI version also has smart features such as Control Panel that enhances the quick settings activity by adding extra features and blending them on your phone.
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.
