This saga was started at HDC 2020 when Huawei unveiled the latest software update, EMUI 11. On the same day, the Chinese tech giant also began the beta testing for the users of Huawei P40 and Mate 30 users in China.
As we proceed forward, Huawei enrolled other important devices such as P30 and Mate 20 in the list of testing models. Last December the company concluded EMUI 11 beta testing in China for most of the users and rolled out stable EMUI 11.
In the same month, Huawei kick off the rollout of EMUI 11 for the Huawei P40 and Mate 30 flagship in the global market and published a timeline to distribute the latest EMUI version for different Huawei phones in different markets.
Everyone seems excited about the EMUI 11, why? because it comes with a new number of new features and improvements over its predecessor in terms of user experiences, security, and transparency.
Some of the notable features include the new smart always-on display, multi-window mode, smoother animation, subtle effects, new ringtones, better MeeTime calling, a better Notepad app, and more. Still, the changelog has a lot to mention, therefore, we’ve decided to put the complete EMUI 11 changelog on the board below.
Note: Some of these features are only available for some specific Huawei models.

This update introduces EMUI 11, providing a rich array of possibilities for you to stay connected in all scenarios. This new system version carries forward Huawei’s All Scenario design concept and provides a richer and more integrated cross-device experience.

Long-take animations will be displayed when you are switching between albums in Gallery or Between year and month views in a calendar, for smoother visual effects.
Subtle effects

Gallery
On the discover tab in Gallery, you can create video stories by applying preset templates with special effects and background music.
The video editing features are optimized providing you with more instructions on how to use the timeline and edit options.

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.
Thanks to the tipster for this amazing information, Masterpiece.
