EMUI
I’ve not received November 2022 patch for my Huawei Nova 5T
Huawei is rolling out November 2022 security patch for various smartphones but I’ve not received the update for my Huawei Nova 5T smartphone. Yep, a Nova 5t user wrote this to us and it makes sense.
Huawei Nova 5t is a well-known smartphone and is sold quite well among consumers. In the meantime, Huawei keeps on sending new software updates for the device in the global market.
Although we’re in November but the phone is still running September 2022 security patch in most of its units. The September EMUI patch rolled out in early October and expanded to users throughout the month.
It’s possible that the company may send the November 2022 security patch for Huawei Nova 5T very soon but we’ll have to wait for that to happen.
EMUI 13:
Huawei Nova 5T is one of the first smartphones to receive EMUI 12. The phone users remained optimistic about this featured software rollout.
However, the wait has now extended towards the next major firmware, EMUI 13. But the current trend suggests that phone users may have to wait until next year to grab a roller coaster ride to the new EMUI version.
How to check:
To check for the latest software update, visit the Settings menu and then tap on System & updates. From here click on Software updates and then CHECK FOR UPDATES. Now you can wait until the phone proceeds to check for the latest firmware.
On the flip side, we also suggest you request new firmware via the My Huawei app.
Specs:
Huawei Nova 5T comes with a 6.26-inch display that includes an FHD+ resolution (2340 x 1080 pixels), and there’s a 97% screen-to-body ratio, and a 3750mAh battery that could recharge with a superfast charger.
Huawei Nova 5T is powered by Kirin 980 chipset with octa-core architecture and Mali-G76 GPU. Furthermore, there is a quad camera system, 48 MP (f/1.8, high-resolution lens) + 16 MP (f/2.2, ultra-wide angle lens) + 2 MP (f/2.4, bokeh lens) + 2 MP (f/2.4, macro lens), Front Camera: 32 MP (f/2.0, high-resolution lens).
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.
