EMUI 13 should bring Android 13?
Huawei global users are eager to try out the new operating system to rebuild and experience something new in their handsets, as the introduction of Huawei EMUI 13 (possibly) draws closer, which should be along with Android 13.
EMUI 13 should ship with Android 13, replacing the outdated Android 10 operating system. Notably, EMUI versions 10, 11, and 12 continue to run on top of Android 10, even though access to GMS may be affected on devices like the Huawei P30 and Mate 20 series.
Huawei EMUI operating system:
The HarmonyOS operating system, which is exclusive to the Chinese market, is comparable to Huawei EMUI because it provides services to smartphones around the world. Both operating systems are supported by Huawei devices, including smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and as well as IoT and Smart car systems.
But there is a flaw in EMUI, the devices running with this software are still based on Android 10, whether it’s EMUI 10, EMUI 11, or EMUI 13. While some consumers have demanded whether they should be shifted over to a complete HarmonyOS operating system or a new Android version.
This year, Huawei will introduce new software for the global market and it should be packed with the Android 13, which is adopted by all Android smartphone users, except Huawei. Yes, Huawei is banned by the U.S. but the AOSP project of Android 13 is already launched and could be used by the new EMUI build.
Although Huawei hasn’t changed the base of EMUI software, it has still brought in new features with each version.

Why not?
Following Android 10, Huawei and Google have ended support for Huawei devices, which later resulted in the subsequent EMUI release but without a new base. Why? Since Huawei doesn’t support software for later releases from Google, it decided not to scratch the existing GMS devices and rolled it out with Android 10.
Even, though the company is not thinking to bring the HarmonyOS version to global devices due to the Hardware compatibility or app ecosystem. We have to wait to see what the company has planned for EMUI 13 and how effective the feature it brings for Huawei users.
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.
