EMUI 12:
According to the official information, Huawei has already confirmed EMUI 12 for the Nova 7i, and its rollout is likely to start in the first half of 2022. Although, the Nova 7i didn’t receive EMUI 11 but the upgrade on the next major software is still surprising for the consumers.
Huawei Nova 7i Specifications:
Huawei Nova 7i comes with a 6.4-inch display with 16.7 million colors, fullHD+ resolution 398 PPI pixel count, and a hole punch cutout. The Nova 7i is powered by the latest Kirin 810 octa-core processor, along with 8GB of RAM + 128GB of ROM.
The phone features a powerful quad-camera system consisting of 48MP (Wide Angle Lens，f/1.8 aperture) + 8 MP (Ultra Wide Angle Lens) + 2 MP (Macro lens) + 2 MP (Bokeh lens). On the front side, the Nova 7i provides a 16MP, f/2.0 aperture camera for beautiful selfies.
In terms of battery life, the Huawei Nova 7i boasts a 4200mAh battery capacity and recharges with a 40W SuperCharge brick. This smartphone comes in four amazing colors – Pink, Black, Gray, and Green.
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.
