Huawei P40 Lite gets October 2021 update, EMUI 12?
Huawei is rolling out a new software update for the P40 Lite that comes with EMUI version 10.1.0.365 and a package size of 182 Megabytes. This software also comes amid the rollout of news of EMUI 12 that the Huawei P40 Lite fans are eagerly waiting for.
Aside from China, Huawei has decided to send EMUI 12 for global consumers and recently revealed the plan of upgrading its devices with this new EMUI version instead of bringing HarmonyOS outside of China. Although, Huawei consumers want to test the latest HarmonyOS features but the OS doesn’t seem to be ready for its global journey in smartphone devices.
However, EMUI 12 will follow the next revolution in terms of change it brings in the user interface as well as other parts of the software system. Therefore, the Chinese tech maker has released a new software update for the Huawei P40 Lite, which could also receive EMUI 12 in the future, since its rebranded version – Nova 7i has also made its place in the list.
Aside from the EMUI 12 Huawei P40 lite discussion, the latest software update for this device brings a number of new improvements to the system security and installs the latest security patches released in the month of October 2021. (reports Huaweiblog)

The Huawei P40 Lite has a 6.4 inches display producing 2310 x 1080 resolutions. The smartphone equips a Kirin 810 SoC, 48MP quad-camera, 16MP selfie snapper, 4200mAh battery capacity with 40W supercharger support.
In terms of software, it comes pre-installed with EMUI 10.0.1 but, the company didn’t provide any other major update for this model. Yet, it’ll receive the HarmonyOS 2.0 in China.
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.
