EMUI 11: Features and improvements that we want to see
Currently, EMUI 10 is the best EMUI version that Huawei has ever released and the company has introduced many new features including Magazine Style UI layout, Morandi Colors system, Dark Mode, Golden Icons, New Animations and improved privacy features.
But there is always some room for improvement, as the next version of EMUI – EMUI 11 could become a milestone of this improvement story.
And we’re here to search for the loopholes and the development that would make the EMUI 11 more intuitive, interacting and user-centric.
Improved Dark Mode:
Dark Mode in Huawei smartphones was the part of EMUI 9.1 but not as wide the new “Dark Mode” introduced with EMUI 10, offering a system-level dark interface.
However, we found that the dark interface color feels a bit flat designed and the combination of text and background color could be improved for long term use. Dark Mode scheduling is another option that could make it more helpful.
Improved UI Design:
The user interface of EMUI 10 is based on a Magazine layout, organizing space for different parts of the UI accordingly. This is by far the biggest changes made in the UI compared to the previous EMUI’s.
However, the elements used in the entire UI still looks flat and a bit of pop up design or a bit 3D look would be more appreciated.
Improved Gestures:
Huawei smartphones come with three types of navigation option including the Gestures Navigation that works great but it needs the following improvements:
- Interactive area selection to swipe from left or right (for Back action).
- Touch sensitivity or response time customization (for better interactions).
Huawei Mobile Services (HMS):
Finally, since the upcoming Huawei and Honor phones won’t feature Google Mobile Services (GMS), Huawei must put some new stuff to the Huawei Mobile Services (HMS).
Although, Huawei may introduce some new HMS apps and services for the EMUI 10 instead of just waiting for the EMUI 11.
Since we have a long time to meet the launch of EMUI 11, we can still add some new recommendations onboard.
Note: We’ll update this article continuously.
If you’ve any suggestions for the EMUI 11, please link it in the comments.

EMUI 11: Latest News, Eligible Devices, Features and Launch date
Here are the Huawei and Honor smartphones that will get EMUI 11/Magic UI 4/Android 11
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.
